Fair play to Deeping Under 10s - they were worthy winners
Sixteen teams entered the inaugural ‘FairPlay’ tournament for under 10 teams from clubs across the region and it was Deeping who ultimately lifted the trophy after a sudden-death penalty win over Holbeach Yellows.
The 16 teams were split into four groups of four with the winners of each section progressing into the semi-finals.

The event, which was backed by foreverposh, was the first of its kind to be held in the close-season at the stadium and the club hope to build on it for next year.
A club spokesman said: “Firstly, we would like to thank foreverposh for their backing of the tournament and for their support.
“We were fortunate that two match officials gave up their time to referee on the two pitches, which was really appreciated by both the players and the managers.
