The Annual District Football tournament was held last Friday at Fressingfield. 12 teams took part from 10 schools (Framlingham and Debenham ham A & B teams).The teams were divided into 2 groups of 6 - all had to play each other.
Our B team drew 3 matches. With more composure in front of goal thay could have won those games. They then lost 1-0 to Debenham's A Team - a great performance. They also lost 3-2 to Mellis - another good effort.
Our A team (defending champions from last year) easily won their group with 4 wins from their 5 games. This meant that they progressed to the semi finals. Fram were drawn against Mellis. This proved to be the most exciting game of the tournament. Fram came from 1-0 down and 2-1 down to force extra time. Neither team could score in extra time but the rules said that a tie would be decided by the number of corners. Fram dominated extra time with 5 corners to 0 so were awarded a place in the final against Debenham.
Our team was very tired (having had a very log semi final) and did not play with their usual energy in the final. Debenham took the lead just before half time. Fram equalised early in the second half but Debenham got a desrved winning goal to win the game 2-1. This was a fine performance by a young Fram team (half the team are in year 5) to finish as runners up.
