Asian Soccer Star, London – Wingate and Finchley U15′s are on target for a season quadruple with one more game against Barking tomorrow; and a win would seal the quadruple.
The past week has been draining for the boys who, since last Sunday when they played and won the Middlesex County FA Cup Final, have had to play a mid-week game on Wednesday to win the EJA League Challenge Cup; and with only a days rest have had to compete for the league title with three games in three days.
The odds were always against the boys pulling off a quadruple but playing under the blistering sun and the inevitable exhaustion, they managed to play, win and achieve a positive goal difference in the first two of the three games. To add to their woes; quite a few of the boys have been carrying injuries.
The important thing here is that they played to win; even though they have been physically drained they are all mentally strong.
They didn’t start ‘hoofing’ the ball ‘hoping’ to win; but went out in each game like champions with a commitment to the team and a will to win. Everyone of the boys played their part, not just in the last few games but throughout the season; and every player in the Wingate and Finchley U15 (2011) team should be proud of themselves.
I know Sobha is, and if there is one lesson that Asian Soccer Star readers can take away from this teams accomplishments, it is never to give up.
Good luck to the boys tomorrow in their last game of the season and the opportunity to clinch the league title and a quadruple for the 2011 season.
