Junior football is always fast and committed....

I've photographed the Corbet Cup and Corbet Shield finals a couple of times over the years.

The 2026 edition of this under 12's football knockout competition reached the finals night yesterday and I popped along to the Corbet Field to photograph some of the action.

I found that here were a couple of stand-out things that made the night so memorable.

First was the unstoppable enthusiasm shown by all the teams and every player. The youngsters exhibited endless energy and passion for the game of football.... and more than a little skill!

Secondly, it was the atmosphere around the ground. The stand was packed with a crowd of family and friends who made plenty of noise supporting their team. This showcased how well Sport brings families and people together to share an experience.

I've just added a couple of photo Galleries to my website if you are interested:
