Tuesday, 21 April, 2009

Northampton FC crowned U15s champions with thrilling win.

It’s fun, it’s fast, it’s Futsal and the final match of the U15 Northamptonshire Futsal League did not disappoint at the weekend!

In a thrilling game, Northampton Futsal Club eventually emerged as 4–1 winners against a highly competitive Rushden & Higham team.

Despite trailing 1-0 for most of the hour-long match, Northampton scored a flurry of goals in the last ten minutes to snatch the league championship from Rushden, who had to settle for the runners-up spot.

A new Futsal league competition will be starting in Northamptonshire soon for boys and girls aged U11 – U15 years. If you are interested in playing the beautiful game contact Jon Spalding on 07970435798 or check out the Pro-Academy Futsal website here.

Futsal is indoor five-a-side football played with a smaller, heavier, ball that encourages passing on the floor and control with the sole of the foot. Players such as Ronaldinho and Ronaldo attribute their magical skills to playing Futsal as youngsters. Over 170 countries, including England, now compete at senior international level.

The team: Adam Spalding, Jack Goodman, Kofi Mayhew, Imad Abbasi, Ben Diamond. Front row: Ashley Ogden, Ryan Laffey, Aaron Lane, Luke Fairlamb.
