Colts crash out of the Cup 

 

 

Coldlands Colts U14s run in the Lions Football competition finally came to an end as they bravely went out in the Quarter Finals of the Cup. The Colts, sponsored by Shirley Lions Club went out by the closest of margins 3-2 to Radcliffe U14s, the District BN winners, sponsored by Radcliffe & Whitefield Lions. Spurred on by a healthy crowd Colts took an early lead but were twice pegged back and in the end succumbed to the winning goal 5 minutes from time. The final 5 minutes were frantic as Colts piled everyone forward but Radcliffe held on and progress to the Northern Semi Final. The game itself was not without incident as during the second half black clouds gathered and as thunder erupted around the area, the hail came down that heavy that at one stage it looked as if they were playing on snow.

After the game players, officials, parents and Lions from both Clubs retired to the Clubhouse where a splendid buffet organised by the ladies from Colts was enjoyed by all. Bannerettes were exchanged with Radcliffe & Whitefield Lions who were wished the best of luck in their semi-final.
