Kingfisher - New National U13 Champions
Kingfisher are the new National Champions at the Under 13 age group.
Last year's defending champions Tornadoes got off to the worst possible start losing their first three matches, but in excellent style fought they way back into playoff contention.
At the end of the pool stage Bearsted led the field with Scorpions in 2nd position.
Invicta lost their chance to be in the playoffs just being pipped by Nomads, who were extremely unlucky not to defeat Bearsted in their final match.
The 1st v 4th playoff saw Bearsted narrowly defeat the rejuvinated Tornadoes by a single goal in a very tight match.
The other playoff 2nd v 3rd with Kingfisher against Scorpions was even closer with Kingfisher finally winning a thrilling and very tense penalty shoot-out.
5th - 6th position in the playoffs was Invicta v Nomads with a very strong finish defeated a very gallant Invicta side.
3rd - 4th saw Tornadoes back in action against Scorpions and were just too strong at the end of a long day winning 4-1.
Bearsted who had played very well in the early round came up against Kingfisher who wanted to turn round their disappointing result from the pool matches and were very worthy winners in a close match.
Thanks to everyone who made a contribution to the day, especially Scorpions who took on the organisation of the event, Kevin, Tony, Phil and Peter who spent a very long day refereeing all the matches.
Once again Jackie kept the organisation well oiled with loads of coffee!
Well done to Kingfisher - EKA Under 13 National Campions!
