Junior football at its best.....

27th December 2022

Guernsey Junior football was showcased during the 2022 John Brehaut Trophy Tournament at the KGV.

I spent a couple of hours photographing the games and I was impressed by the talent and enthusiasm shown by the youngsters. I covered the Under 13's games as teams progressed through to the finals.

The weather was nice and bright and dry so a good crowd of parents were there to support the Clubs. As each game lasted just fifteen minutes there was always some action to follow.

As the tournament progressed to the semi-finals there was even high drama as one of the finalists had to be decided by a nail-biting penalty shoot-out. I actually lost count of how many penalties needed to be taken to split the teams but when I noticed that players came up to take their THIRD penalty it was an amazing climax.

Congratulations to the Rovers team on winning the trophy and all the other Clubs for making the event so entertaining.

I've added a new Gallery featuring some of the action here:
