Working closely with the Surrey County FA was Go4Goal a company specialising in organising football tournaments and coaching. They ran the days games and overall organisation of the tournament including collating the scores, refreshments, venue hire, registration and arranging the referees.
The Tournament attracted seven colleges from the local area who all brought squads of around seven players. The event was run in a league format with every team playing each other once with the final winner being announced at the end of the day.
The venue provided was the new Tolworth Goals in surrey and the matches were played on their state of the art 3G pitches.
The games created some very competitive matches with some very high scoring results. All the matches were played in a great spirit, with respect and fair play shown by all of the teams.
The overall winners of the Tournament were Reigate College Ladies who put in a very impressive performance to win all of their games. They had some tough games but only let in three goals in total down to a very tough defence and great team play. Going forward they played the ball to feet with some very neat passing and clinical finishing. Gina Johnson from Reigate had a brilliant tournament scoring over twenty goals and helped her team retain the title.
So congratulations to Reigate College who were Kelsey Hutchinson, Gina Johnson, Hattie Robinson, Shaney Bolton, Jennifer Nagel, Beth Ashfield- Murphy along with their coach Chris Lowe.
Many thanks go to all of the players, coaches and supporters of Sir Francis Xavier College, Carshalton College, Nescot College, St Charles College, S.W. Thames College and Reigate College.
Most importantly a large thank you goes to Andy Chute and Andy Maciel from Go4Goal who organised the whole day and without them the tournament would not have happened. The plan is to run another tournament in November and then one after Christmas so if any other colleges are interested then please contact me on the email below.
