Game v Hillsborough Hornets 2-1

Goal scorers, Captain James 1, Jordan 3, Josh 7, Ethan 1. Recognition to Andrew, who did a sterling job in the nets keeping many on target shots out.

Thankyou to player I who came to support her teammates.

Coach Allan shares his thoughts on the day.

“ Bradford edged the first half but Tigers came back to win 5-3. In the second game the team performed even better winning 5-0, but the best game of the day was their third match which ended in 2-1 win against Hillsborough after a very close game. ”

Coach Chris chose Elliott as the player of the day. “ Elliott took a bit of time to get up to speed but when he did there was no holding him back.

I’ve honestly never seen this young man get stuck in as much as he did today. ”

Josh made his competitive debut today and at the post match McDonald’s meet up he explained to Jo how he felt running out with his new team for the first time.

“ I had a fantastic day today. I scored my first goal in my first game, and we won all three matches. That made me feel better and more confident as the games progressed. I believe I can contribute positively to the team and bring a lot of energy to it .” Josh

His parents echoed his sentiments adding, “ we are delighted to witness Joshua playing in his team for the first time today. The smile on his face indicates his happiness, which, in turn, brings joy to us, his parents. ”

What a finish for our Comets at their final South Yorkshire Ability Counts League fixtures on Sunday.

After two games and a plethora of goals this intrepid little band of ballers lifted the championship league trophy. With almost the full team in attendance (thank you to injured player George who came to support his teammates) with gleeful faces the boys shared a memorable moment that will last a lifetime.

Lets have a shoutout to our goal scorers of the day Neil, Lucas and Jamie, a notable mention to Ollie who always has the best smile on his face and whilst a skilful player also genuinely looks thrilled to be playing football.

Coach Chris announced his player of the day was EJ. “ I chose EJ for his ‘can do’ positive attitude and exemplary conduct, a shining example of a BIFC team player. ”

Captain Leon says, “I can’t wait to bring the cup to training so we can celebrate again and drink fizzy water from it like the pro’s do. ”

Coach Paul shares this message to the team. “ Well done to all the players not just for these games, for the whole season. You’ve all come together as a team in your first season together. Even when injured you come out in force to support each other, you got the result you hoped for and are league champions and I think you all deserve a pat on the back for your team work and effort, best bit is, you all had fun. ”

And the final words go to grandparent Kev.

“ Well what a great day for BIFC football teams all round. The Tigers excelled in all their matches and the Comets having only just lost their initial match came back to win their second game . This cemented their place as Under 12 league champions. Having 2 children who both play for the Comets I couldn’t be more proud of this result and of the team as a whole, as without each other and the inclusivity of the team and support from BIFC this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you to all involved both behind and in front of the scenes. Great finality to a great season. ”
