Victory Continued...

So the U14 Fairfield Football girls finished their round robin tournament in Hereford on Monday this week. They were moved to the "gold" division and finished second taking home a pretty snazzy shield (aka award plaque). The girls played tough all day, keeping all their opponents scoreless... in fact, in over six matches not one team scored a goal. The ultimate final pairings were decided with penalty kicks, and the Fairfield girls earned a second place spot as a result of that. They then went into the final game, again based on penalty kicks, and AGAIN the game ended without a score. Penalty kicks were done again...and unfortunatelty, despite hanging tough all afternoon, they were defeated at the net. This is the worst way ever to decide the outcome of a game! But, we all had fun and I gave them a few "American" pep talks to keep them fighting hard! Have I told you all I don't know anything about this game? BUT I do make a great cheerleader from the sidelines!
