Heading into Saturdays fixtures both our Under 13 sides had an opportunity to win their respective leagues and despite a great effort from both sides we fell slightly short with our efforts.
U13 Division 2
Bridge United - 0
Newmarket Celtic -2
Our U13 A team faced a strong Newmarket side knowing only a win would be enough to secure the championship. The Bridge started well and created some early chances but the visitors took the lead just before the break.
With the Bridge pushing for an equaliser in the second hald Newmarket secured the victory with 5 minutes remaining. A very brave effort from the Bridge boys including two penalty saves from our keeper and man of the match Daniel Kelly.
