WOMENS WORLD CUP – SPAIN 2008

2008 World Cup – Spain, Report.


I think most of the readers know by now that we have sent the Australian Women’s Team to participate in the 1st Women’s Futsal World Cup. We were grouped with Italy and Paraguay. We beat both teams respectivaly and progressed on to the quarter final to play against Spain. We started up well and scored two goals through Jo Burgess. Unfortunately we lost the match 3-2 in the dying minutes of the 2nd half. Spain went on to beat Russia and Colombia to win the World Cup.
The tournament was the best I have been involved for a long time. The final was televised to Spain and everything from the accommodation to the venue was world class.
Vikings Futsal has sponsored the trip with the attempt of making a mark in the world stage and to help promote Futsal in Australia specially among womens.
I would like to take this chance to congratulate all players and Vikings Futsal for making it possible to attend the first Womens World Futsal Cup.

Great honour for Lincolnshire Futsal

The Lindsey School & Community Arts U16 Futsal team have been invited to a prestigious international Futsal event in December, confirming their place as the best school for Futsal in Lincolnshire. 
The team were invited by Dermot Collins, Head of Small Sides Football at The FA, after hearing rave reviews about the teams performance over the last couple of years. The boys finished runners up in the last two FA National Futsal Finals at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.
The team will be playing in an exhibition match at Loughborough University, on a full size international pitch at their world class facilities.
The match will be sandwiched between two full international matches, which are Libya vs Lithuania and England vs Republic of Ireland. The TLS team will have an opportunity to watch the England international after their own match has been completed.
There is guaranteed to be a large crowd in attendance to watch the home nation, so the boys from TLS will get an opportunity to play in front of a receptive audience.
Director of Football Rob Allenby was delighted by the news; ‘This is just deserts for the effort the school has put into small sided football over the last few years. At TLS, pupils have the opportunity to play Futsal, and we get experienced coaches from the local area to help us improve. This is a real shot in the arm for sport at the Lindsey School and Community Arts College.’
Football Performance Director Les Jones was equally happy; ‘This is a real test of nerve for the team, but one they should relish. Opportunities do not come along every day to play before an international match, so we will hopefully put on a good show and make the people of Grimsby proud. At the end of the day this is great news for TLS Sport.’
