U16 BOYS FINAL RESULT (1 MEDAL WON)
GB 6 TURKEY 1
GB won gold in stunning style as they produced a scintillating display to claim gold with an emphatic win.
Captain James Green helped himself to a hat-trick, with Ethan Novak, Alex Rose and Joe Leslie also all on target.
Manager Laurence Myers said: “It was an excellent performance, the boys have all worked so hard for over a year. We won silver in Israel two years ago, and have now gone a step better which os great.
Believing his side were the best team in Germany, he said “You can only play against what’s in front of you. But we won all our games, played with great flair and produced fantastic futsal. The final was a bit one-sided, we got on top of them early on and it’s fair to say that we have been the best team here by a distance. Having said that we did scrape through, 3-2, in the semi-final, but overall we’ve been the best.
“Ten of these boys a year ago had never played futsal so to achieve this win is absolutely unbelievable – as has been the support from all the friends and family out here. It’s an incredible achievement for this U16 team to win gold when you also bear in mind that the sport isn’t such a prominent one in England.”
And now looking ahead to taking this team on in Israel in two year’s time, he said: “If Scott and myself are offered the jobs for the next Maccabiah in two years time – and can get this team out there together as well – then our aim is definitely to bring gold back again!”
