On Saturday 12th May, I was lucky enough to play a tournament with L.N.E.R Under 9's Football Club.

(you know who you are boys!) Anyway, I had to leave at 8 a.m. and the tournament didn't finish until 1 p.m.!

In our first game we played brilliantly and won and the same with our second game! But during our third game, we sadly drew 1-1. However, on our 4th game, we did what our coach told us and won against the best team in our group. We waited for the results to see if we'd made it into the knockout stages, and guess what? we did!!!!

So we waited around 5 more minutes until the game started and when it did, the pressure was on. We ended up winning 1-0 with the other team doing a bicycle kick into the back of their own net. We had made it into the final.

The score ended up being 1-1 in the final so we had to go to penalties. I was super, super nervous because I had to take a penalty. Sadly only one of my teammates scored :( and get this, I didn't even get to take my penalty. I got a bit annoyed because we lost in the final, but at least we got to the final and that was something to be proud of. We received our silver medals and had our photograph taken. We then headed home.

PS. If you read this, comment L.N.E.R 4 LIFE!
