Vicars Cross Festival

Both Saturday and Sunday under 13 teams entered this competition. Having seen the opposition we knew it was going to be tough. The Saturday and Sunday teams were thankfully in separate groups, which is just as well as both made a good start with a win in their first games.

The Saturday team went on to win all but one game in their group and finished top, while the Sunday team also did very well and finished 2nd in their group. This meant that the two teams would not meet in the quarters but might do in the Semis.

The Saturday team won their quarter final against Princess Villa 3-0. Unfortunately the Sunday team lost narrowly against a 2nd Princess Villa side.

This set the Saturday team up for a semi against Princess Villa and we were eager to settle a score for the Sunday team. This we did 5-1. Having beaten the Vauxhall team in the group stage, Vauxhall went onto play The CNS/Waverton team in the Semi, both teams were good, but CNS/Waverton just beat Vauxhall 1-0.

This set up a real grudge match against CNS/Waverton in the final. Having met this squad on a Saturday the score was a difficult one to call. 6 minutes each way and CNS took the lead with a well taken goal. However, Jack Dennan with some clever football from his team mates levelled the score. This took it into 4 minutes extra time, and although both teams were battling no further goals were scored. Penalties and one of our stand in goalies for the day, Bradley Davies, had his work cut out. We need not have worried though, as having saved two penalties Upton JFC lifted the Vicars Cross Trophy.

Club Secretary's Role

Chris Andrews is looking to step down from his role as the Club Secretary, and we need to hear from potential candidates who would like to take over from him.

This role is vital to the running of the club, and it is important to get the right person in place as soon as possible. Ideally, we would like someone to learn the ropes by shadowing Chris before he leaves. This role does not have to be taken up by a coach, any parent is welcome to apply. If you are interested and want to learn more about what is involved, please contact {This e-mail address is being protected from spam-bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it.}
