Groby Juniors Under 8’S are flying high GROBY JUNIORS held their annual football tournament and after a fantastic day of football, the 2 under 8’s football teams were victorious in their respective groups. It was a great day in the sunshine and all of the Groby coaches passed their thanks onto the other teams players, supporters and coaches who supported and cheered on their teams in the spirit that junior football should be played. In the finals the Trojans battled back from 2 nil down against GNG Tigers to earn a draw, and then claim the victory with a nail biting penalty shoot out, whilst the Spartans final was an end to end battle against Coalville Town but neither team could break the deadlock, so again resulted in a penalty shoot out where the Spartans were victorious. Steve D, Phil, Andy, Nathan, Steve H and Ben would like to thank all of the players for amazing effort and attitude, and also the supporters for cheering on the teams throughout the day. Looking forward to more of the same next Season, Well Done all.
