Heighington FC U11’s capped their first season as a team with a good effort in the Cockfield Cup at Cockfield on 15th June.
The boys made a slow start to their first ever tournament but improved throughout to reach the ‘Plate’ final via a thrilling semi-final penalty shoot-out.
Their first season in the Russell Foster Youth League was one of exciting development for the boys, after forming last August. Some big wins, tough losses, and lots of progress made for a solid mid-table finish.
The team is built on principles of respect, bravery and unity, and all players are given match-day experience regardless of where they are in their football development.
Massive thanks to the team’s two sponsors Fisk Services and Wilkinson Concise Construction, both of which have been a fantastic support to the team.
Meanwhile, the club continues to expand and has two more new teams for the upcoming season, at Under 8 and Under 7.
