Fencibles United AFC dominated in their annual tournament in the Bay of Plenty.
Their football teams travelled to Papamoa on July 9, 10 for the tournament and the results were “amazing for the club”.
Fencibles won the 13th, 12th and 11th grade competitions while 9th grade came second after a tie-breaking penalty shoot-out in the final.
A spokesperson for the 12th Grade team said, “The boys in this team really know the true meaning of the word team.
“(Their enthusiasm during the penalty shoot-out) encompasses their fun, energy, passion, spirit and support of each other and love of football.”
“We have some of the team missing here – Liam was taking the goal and goalie Josh was of course near the goal. We had some boys missing due to the dreaded Covid … Lockie, Raf, Leo and co-coach Edu. And some very welcome additions Seth and Sean.
“Absolute kudos to coach Rob Hannaby whose own passion for football is being absorbed by this wonderful team.”
