force, providing an intense atmosphere. This did not intimidate our teams though, who entertained the masses with performances packed with skill and desire. As usual, there was a whole lot of drama! Penalties, hand-balls, last minute goals, disallowed goals, cards, tears and, of course, some suspect refereeing! In the end, we were left with a champion in each year group.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the finals, especially our winners!
