Under 12s End of Season Report 2008/09
Under 12s Season Report
Starting the 2008/9 Under 12’s campaign as reigning Champions meant this year was always going to be a very tough year for us and with the lads starting their secondary schools it meant added pressure for the season. After a good pre-season we got off to a comfortable start with a few early victories before we realised the challenge that lay ahead of us as we lost 2 games on the run for the first time ever. We showed good character to bounce back and go on a long unbeaten run and get ourselves back into what was developing into a close title race between three teams. After one performance the referee told us it was the best Under 12 performance he had seen in 20 years. As we go to print we are still in with a chance of retaining the title as we await the result of a disciplinary hearing over an abandoned game in which a victory would see us crowned champions again.
In the Cups we reached the Q/F of the District Cup going down 3-2 to West Kirby Wasps in a fantastic game, we lost on penalties in the Wallasey Knock Out Cup Q/F to Delta after another great game. In the Challenge Cup however we did better reaching the Final against rivals for the league Manor and in a fantastic game in which we found ourselves 3-0 down at half time we very nearly pulled off a miracle before losing 4-3 but left with heads held high.
It’s been another fantastic effort from the boys and they will have benefited from such a tough season and will come back stronger next season to challenge once again for honours.
Thanks to all the parents and friends for their great support and help this year and I would also like to thank the lads for all their hard work and efforts this year well done. We have probably not got what we deserved this year and luck has gone against us in a few big games with bad decisions but that’s football and it should make you double your efforts next year to get what you deserve.
