CARTERTON COLTS U11s TOURNAMENT REPORT
 
The Harry Memorial Trophy was a competition played at Kilkenny Lane, on 31 Aug 08, for teams that were about to play competitive 11-a-side football for the first time this coming season. Carterton FC, Carterton Colts, Tower Hill, Deddington Colts and Tower Hill Stars were the teams involved, playing in a league format with the winner being the side with the most points at the end of the competition after each team had played each other once. 
 
The tournament got under way with Carterton Colts playing Tower Hill. These two sides have played each other twice in friendlies recently and both resulted in a draw, this game was again proving to be a competitive and close encounter. After a scrappy first half there was little to choose between the two sides with both defences on top, which resulted in a goalless first half. Although still a close game Carterton Colts began to gain the upper hand and started to dominate possession. With the game entering the latter stages the Carterton captain Josh Herbert struck a superb shot from 20 yards, which flew into the top right hand corner, giving the Colts a hard fought but well deserved victory.    
 
The Colts next game was against Tower Hill Stars, which proved not to be such a close game as the first. Carterton dominated from the start and put huge pressure on the All Stars defense. This continued throughout the match and resulted in the Colts winning 3-0 with the goals coming from Jack Davies, Thomas Harvey and an OG.
 
After two wins Carterton entered the next game in extremely confident mood. However, their opponents Deddington Colts had also been playing well and had won and drawn their opening two games. Carterton started brightly and created a couple of early chances which they failed to convert. At the other end the defense was looking strong with the midfield working hard. Thomas Harvey made a good run into the box and was fouled, Josh Herbert stepped up and coolly put the ball into the top left hand corner to give the Colts a 1-0 lead. Carterton continued to play well and Lewis Smith added a well taken goal in the second half to give them a 2-0 win.
 
Carterton Colts last match of the tournament was against Carterton FC. Carterton Colts started brightly and looked the stronger of the two teams, which resulted in an early goal. As the match progressed the Colts took advantage as Carterton began to tire. The final result was 9-0 with goals from Thomas Harvey(2), Richard Matthews(2), Jack Davies, Lewis Smith and an excellent hatrick from Joe Kaluza.
 
Overall an excellent day for Carterton Colts who won the tournament by winning all four of their games without conceding a goal. They played some excellent football throughout and worked extremely hard. I would like to say thanks to Bill Jenkins for organizing the tournament and Carterton FC for providing excellent facilities. I thought the day was a huge success and has helped prepare the players and coaches for this coming seasons 11-a-side league fixtures.
