District Football Tournament 2008 for Scouts and Cubs

The Tournament took place at Ryeish Green School on Sunday 8th June. A bright warm June day may not be the best time to play a hard game of football, but the Euro 2008 Championship has no problem with that, so why not?

The Scouts who took part were five teams from just three Troops who played a five a side tournament with the following results:

	Winners of the Trophy - 1st Wokingham B
	Runners up - 1st Wokingham A
	Winners of the Plate - 4th Wokingham B
	Runners up - 1st Finchampstead
	Fair Play award - 4th Wokingham A

It was a great day out, so let's hope more Troops take part next year!

There were rather more Cubs on the day, so they played seven a side. In memory of John Coates, who has done so much for Cub Scouting over the years, a new shield to replace the Plate was presented.1st Woosehill Kestrels managed to retain the Trophy but overall, the results were:

	Winners of the Trophy - 1st Woosehill Kestrels
	Winners of the John Coates Memorial Shield - 1st Finchampstead Badgers
	Fair Play award - 1st Swallowfield A

And now some photos captured at the event by Ruth and Andrew:

And the Adults match at lunchtime? A team of leaders and parents from 1st Finchampstead, 1st Wokingham and Malcolm played against a team from 1st Winnersh, 4th Wokingham, 1st Woosehill and 1st Swallowfield, a kind of North/South divide. By full time, the Southerners were 2 - 1 up.

...and some of the other trophies

Sometimes those pitches look awfully big!

...and a crew from 1st Swallowfield kept everyone refreshed

Just one of the referees - wasn't he a Cub once?

...and organisers

Just two of the prize-winning teams

A special thank you must go to all those leaders, parents and friends who made it all happen. There were organisers, referees, coaches, supporters and refreshers to name but a few, and it couldn't have happened without them.
