Penalty shoot-out robs Ladygrove footballers of Manor hat-trick




Storming performances saw Ladygrove A and B teams get through to the finals and semi-finals of the Manor Football Tournament on Saturday; for both teams to then be knoocked out by a strong squad from Willowcroft. Had Ladygrove won, it would have been the third Manor tournament win in a row.

Both Ladygrove teams got through the group stages and quarter finals with little problem before facing Willowcroft. Willowcroft first beat the B team in a close 1-0 semi-final. They then took the A team to a penalty shoot out in a final which had finished 1-1 after extra time.

Both teams were disappointed to have got so near to glory but should be proud of their success.
