Caversham AFC Swans U10s today won the annual Futsal tournament in Bracknell run by the Berkshire County Girls Football League.

Futsal is an indoor variation on football, with an emphasis on speed and skill. The girls played a series of 8 minute, 5 a side, matches. Wins against Ascot Emeralds, Sandhurst Town and Wokingham & Emmbrook, along with draws against Tilehurst Panthers and Thatcham Town, saw Caversham joint top of their group and through to the knock out stages.

They met a strong Wargrave team in the quarter final, but held out for a well deserved 1-0 win. The semi-final against Purley Jubilee saw the girls turn on the style, booking their place in the final with a 4-1 win. Final opponents Twyford Comets started very brightly, and only sharp Caversham defending and goalkeeping kept it 0-0. Caversham then took the lead only to be pegged back to 1-1 almost immediately. Relentless Caversham pressure ultimately paid dividends though, scoring two great goals for a 3-1 lead that proved unassailable.

Thanks as ever to all the parents for their support, and to BCGFL for a very well organised event. Congratulations girls!
