Discoveries Town Futsal Team
2014/15 under 11s’

Had manager and referee extolling virtues of futsal that was spoilt only by fact no one videoed the game for others to appreciate.  Fantastic game of Futsal, great comeback by Discoveries Town to grab a point from being 3-1 down! Amazing standard of given age of players. Some outstanding saves by Grimsby Fut’s keeper Tom Hill got him referee man of match award. That said when a manager reports that this was a game that no team deserved to lose you know that it’s been some game. Passing and movement was described to me as like watching top eighteen year olds playing. At end of game players received due applause from proud parents of both teams.

Final score 5-5

Could not believe just how quickly and well Healing in only their 2nd game adapted to the concept of Futsal – great awareness and looking to pass and move in evidence against an established Townsend team who as always gave everything during the game yet came off smiling – Healing led 2-0 at half time after great performance and 2 quality taken goals – Second half close affair and after a couple of close efforts Townsend pulled a deserved goal back – chances for both teams followed but supported by some great football – superb game to watch and referee said that after the game he heard both managers being positive in team talk to players, win and lose.

Final score Townsend 1 Healing 2

Positive feedback from managers and parents makes playing and refereeing so much more rewarding.

Superb end to end game as the result illustrates – very little between both teams – Dreadnoughts with a quality division one loan player should have been 3-0 in first couple of minutes but great goalkeeping denied them – from then on just good futsal and great on field attitude appreciated by supporters unfortunately a great game was soured when the young referee was accused of being a cheat by a manager – this is the worst thing that a referee can face during a game and cannot be tolerated. Young referee dealt with situation in a manner that Referee Association would have expected.

Final score Grimsby Borough 8 Dreadnoughts 7
