DOUBLE DELIGHT FOR ASHURST WOOD

Ashurst Wood proved to be the best 7-aside Football Team in the East Grinstead area as they recorded the 'double' by winning both the 'Primaryship' and the 7-aside Football Tournament in the space of 2 weeks.

During a brilliant afternoon of primary school football at Halsford Park on the 3rd May, Felbridge and St. Peter's showed their class by winning through to the knock-out stages, whilst Ashurst Wood and Copthorne 'B' also qualified from their respective group.

Semi Finals:

ASHURST WOOD v ST. PETER'S

&

FELBRIDGE v COPTHORNE 'B'

In a really surprising turn of events, Copthorne 'B' overcame the most stylish team in the tournament - Felbridge. This would match together the tournament favourites, Ashurst Wood with the underdogs from Copthorne, as the Wood narrowly beat the defending champions, St. Peter's, in a very tight semi-final.

Final:

ASHURST WOOD v COPTHORNE 'B'

It turned out to be a fitting final as both teams went for the victory from the first whistle. Both teams tried to play attractive attacking football, while keeping it tight at the back.

There was very little between the two teams and it was clear that one goal was going to be enough - and so it proved with Ashurst Wood grabbing the winner. The jubilation was clear for all to see, but there was much praise for the gallant losers who hade made it all the way to the final.

A massive thank you must go to all of the helpers and staff at Halsford Park and the Imberhorne Sports Leaders.
