The E-Sports Under 11’s played in the 1st Emirates Airlines Football 7’s . The 3 teams they played in the group stages gave the following results…..4-0,3-0 and a 1-0 with fantastic performances from Ali Kapasi, Scott Paterson and Umar Zaid the team seemed to gel in the opening games.
Topping the group the boys went through to the next round and faced a tougher test but managed to seal a win against DDF another JFL side which put us through to the Quarter Finals against the eventual winners Jebel Ali CEO. This was a much tougher test for the boys and they did well for the 1st 5 minutes of the game until Jebel Ali snatched 2 goals in 2 minutes before the break to demoralize the boys at half time.
After a stern half time team talk the boys came out fighting and were pushing for a goal to get back into it, the ref pointed to the spot penalty to E-Sports with plenty of time left. Bailey Hunt took responsibility and stepped up, unfortunatetly he struck the bar with his effort. Jebel Ali CEO sealed their win right at the death scoring a 3rd and ended up 3-0 winners of a very entertaining game.
WELL DONE to the lads it was a long day and the played some great stuff!!
