Under 10 Inter-School Football
Another great day at King’s College saw schools from all over the region attending the 3rd inter-school football tournament. It was a great day with the winter sun shining and a number of parents from different schools turning up to watch. The teams from Mar Azul, Castelar and two teams from the British School of Alicante and King’s College Murcia meant for a full, action-packed day of football. The games would be played over one 12 minute period.
The tournament was a close fought occasion with Castelar looking to be the stand out team and they easily made the final, but to play against whom? Going into the last game of the day, any one of three teams could join Castelar with King’s College Murcia United, Mar Azul and Kings College Alicante United in with a chance. With Mar Azul having played all their games they had to sit back and watch whilst KC Alicante United played KC Murcia United. The game ended 2-0 to KC Alicante United which meant they finished level on points with Mar Azul. After a quick count up of the goal difference it was confirmed that King’s College Alicante United had made the final by 4 goals, this news was met with big celebrations from our sister school.
The final was a close fought encounter with chances for either side. No team was able to find a goal in the 12 minutes so 6 minutes extra time would be played. Again, a very tight fought contest with few chances and the game and day was to be decided on penalties. After missing their opening penalty, Castelar fought back in the penalty shoot out to take the contest 3-1 on penalties.
It was an excellent day that was enjoyed by everyone. Congratulations to Castelar who claim the Under 10 title for the second time in a row.
Please come and join us for the Under 12 tournament on Monday 12th December.
