The Football League U13's Girls Community Cup Final

On Wednesday 3^rd December Football in the Community held their annual 5-a-side schools competition, ‘The U13 Girls Community Cup 2008/09. This year the event was sponsored by ‘The Football League' and held at Football in the Community's 3G facility ‘Carrow Park', in Norwich.

The Community Cup is aimed at year 7 & 8 players from Middle & High Schools across the county. This year 10 teams took part to see who would go on to represent Norwich in the Area Final, early next year at Watford.

The competition saw some excellent football being played from all teams. Both leagues were very close with most teams waiting for the final result to come in to decide league placings. The final of the Cup was Lynn Grove High School v Sheringham High School. In a tight close final that went to extra time Sheringham were crowned the eventual winners. Both teams should be congratulated for what was a very close and exciting final.

Emma Fletcher FITC Girls and Women's Football Development Officer said "The Community Cup is a great opportunity for schools to come together and play football, obviously there has to be a winner but to me they are all winners if they go home with a smile on their face.  I would like to thank the teachers and schools for allowing the girls to attend.  Good luck to Sheringham in the Regional Finals next year".
