Scotton were narrowly (and very unlucky-ly) beaten semi-finalists in this years U8's Otley 6 a side tournament.
Breezing through their initial group games with some great football - winning 4-0, 4-0, and 3-1 the boys then faced a tricky Collingham team in a table topping decider- the boys in the end loosing 2-0.
That saw them through t the semi-finals as best runner up = but left us facing an Ilkley team who hadn't lost all day.
A very tight semi saw Ilkley take the lead with a looping effort which, in the sun, Alexander slightly lost sight of and it went in. Scotton then took the game to Ilkley - with Joseph getting a well-worked and well deserved equalizer. As the tie was heading for extra-time another speculative 'shin' looped high again, over the keeper before nestling in our net. 2-1 Ilkley and the boys run was over.
All the boys should be very proud of both their performances on the pitch and how they handled themselves off it. Thanks to parent for 'lending' the club your boys on a sunny Saturday and for turning up and supporting them all. Really well done to them all.
