Internationaal Tornooi van SV Nevelo

Met deelnemers uit Nederland, België, Duitsland, Ierland, Engeland, Wales, Schotland, en Frankrijk kan je wel spreken van een internationaal tornooi.

Er was tornooi in 4 verschillende reeksen: U10 jongens, U10 meisjes, U11 jongens, en U11 meisjes.
Wij speelden in de U11 meisjes reeks, met een aantal U11 meisjes, maar ook met U10 en U9 meisjes.

De ploegenvoorstelling duurde meer dan een half uur: veertig ploegen werden voorgesteld, en daarna speelde nog het volkslied voor elke aanwezige nationaliteit:

Heel de lengte van het veld was bezet: spelers van aan het ene doel, tot aan het andere. Wij zitten hier helemaal rechts.

De U11 meidenteams:

FC Tilburg

Eendracht Mazenzele Opwijk

Oxton Ladies FC (Engeland)

West Flames

Oberkasseler FV 1910

R.K.S.V. Boxtel

BSV GW Neukölln

Newbridge Town FC

Heel erg spannend is het niet geworden:

We hebben alles gewonnen, 44x gescoord, en geen enkel doelpunt tegen gekregen.

Tussen twee wedstrijden in zag Noor plots een aantal bekenden: spelers uit haar ploeg. Ze speelden bij de Flanders Soccer Academy.
We hebben dan voor elkaar gesupporterd. Zij zijn heel knap tweede geworden!

De officiële ‘afsluitnota’, zoals gepost door de organisator op Facebook:

Last Sunday we had our tournaments for the U10’s and U11’s (boys and girls). 40 teams in total divided in boys (24 teams) and girls (16 teams). The boys teams were going to play 5 group matches and 2 (cross)finals. The girls teams were going to play 7 group matches.

The second place was secured by Mickleover RBL Golds U10 with 12 points.
In the other group AFC Vernon Colts U10 and Pike Rovers FC U10 both ended with 13 points. Their match ended in a 0-0 draw. Therefore the goal difference was decisive. The guests from England scored a little better then the Irish team (+16 versus +13).
