Wickersley Youth Blues Vs Swinton Athletic Vs Porter (U8s)
The League has received the following email today.
I am writing to inform you of our excellent experience at the above mini-cup fixture hosted at Wickersley yesterday (04/10/2015). It’s an excellent set-up at Wickersley and one we always look forward to visiting at Wickersley cricket club. All 3 teams should be congratulated for the way the games were run and the spirit the games were played out in.
One incident summed the whole day up for me. During the Wickersley/Swinton fixture the Wickersley defender ran off the field to his parent to have his boot lace tied. The Wickersley coaching team attempted to get the referees attention to this but just failed as a Swinton player ran through to score. Upon the re-start one of the Swinton coaches made the decision that Wickersley should be allowed a “walk-through” goal in return. All players, coaches and parents were in agreement with this and it was greatly received by everyone at the ground.
It was a great moment and summed up the spirit and manner of sportsmanship Junior football should be played in.
Thanks
