Shepreth Spitfires Football Club www.sheprethspitfires.co.uk Wow! What a great season the Spitfires have had, all topped off with a presentation and football tournament at the Eternit Sports and Social Club in Meldreth! The children loved the presentation day, where they each got a fabulous trophy with their name on and the name of the award that their coach had given them. The children loved the BBQ and the bouncy castles and were bouncing and playing football all weekend long. The Eternit Sports and Social Club provided the beautiful venue and refreshments for the day and this year our Extra Effort for the Club Award was shared by Joseph and James who have helped coach our younger children and fundraised for the Shepreth Spitfires all season. The under-10s and under-12s competed in the Shepreth Spitfires Tournament against nine other mostly local teams. Both age groups had very close results throughout and in the under-10s, two Shepreth teams made it to the semi-finals. The final for the under-10s was Shepreth v Cambourne with Shepreth winning on ‘sudden death’ penalties. The day after, in the under-12s competition, Shepreth made the final against Haverhill only for it to go to sudden death penalties again! Shepreth won with an outstanding last penalty thundered into the goal by a young lad who didn’t want to take a penalty but was brave enough to do it. Amazing! A big thank you to the Eternit Sports and Social Club for supporting grassroots football for all the children and adults in Meldreth, the surrounding villages and further afield. Lucy Smith 7
