Training is on Saturday mornings on Mulbarton Common between 9.30 - 11.00

Mundford 1 Wanderers 11

The first game of the season for Mulbarton got going with an early morning trip to Mundford, and an early goal for Matt W, opening the scoring within 20 seconds! Alex H was next to try his luck, his shot rebounded but was followed up by Ashely S to score the second, and the first quarter ended with another goal from Ashley assisted by Alex, making it 0 – 3 to Mulbarton.

The second quarter kicked off and Ashley quickly added another goal to get his hat-trick, and after some mixed play and a bit of a goal mouth scramble, James  proved that he had his scoring boots on to make it 0 – 5. Harry  finished the quarter with his first goal of the game, to take the score to 0 – 6.

The third quarter brought Al’s long awaited goal, and although this quarter was a bit quieter with more mixed play, Matt added another goal to make it 0 – 8.

The final quarter saw everybody getting a bit tired, but Al added to the score sheet again with a long range shot from outside of the box, Harry added his second and then Al scored again to get his hat-trick. There was loud applause from the crowd when Mundford scored their only goal of the game, and most people agreed that the score of 1 – 11 flattered Mulbarton, although Mundford never gave up and their keeper made many fine saves.

During the game, Owen came close to scoring but did a good job in defence, Ben  also hit the post a couple of times, and although Robbie  in goal had a fairly quiet game, his distribution was good.

Mulbarton won the game by passing the ball well, and working as a team to produce a confidence-boosting win in their first game of the season.

U8's Success

On Saturday 24th, 3 U8 teams took part in the Wymondham Town United 5-a-side tournament, with the Saturday team winning the trophy and the Sunday team winning the plate competition!

Later that evening, the coaches went to be presented with the South Norfolk Youth Leagues sporting award, and then on Sunday, 10 boys from across the teams played as one team at the Brian Gunn Mini Soccer Tournament at Carrow Road, organised by Football for Fans, and came away as overall winners after a closely contested final, winning 2 - 0.

The weather was awful, but the boys showed determination and fighting spirit and never gave up against opposition from as far a field as Kings Lynn and Peterborough.

South Norfolk League Award

Congratulations to the U8s who have been competing in the South Norfolk Youth League. The team has won the Team Sporting Award for 2008. The team will presented with their Award at the league's presentation night on 24th May at the Carnegie Rooms in Thetford
