Duck invasion fails to stop the fun at the FB

AN excellent standard of play was again on show at the Jersey Primary Schools Football Festival yesterday, with referees and coaches praising the high standards of the sportsmanship.

Jersey lost 5-0 to Sutton Coldfield, but the result has not dampened their spirits as they look ahead to the penultimate day of the tournament, which features a fascinating clash against Hackney.

The highlight of yesterday’s games at the FB Fields was the match between Thurrock and previously unbeaten South Birmingham, with both teams stepping up to a fast and furious paced game – apart from when a pitch invasion from a family of ducks put a temporary halt to play.

But it was Thurrock who eventually came out on top by a single goal from Callum Jex, putting an end to Birmingham’s winning streak.
