What a day of football it was for the U12 Whites at the Bradford Park Avenue Gala! With a buzzing atmosphere, the team delivered a string of gritty, high-quality performances that saw them storm into the final.

Right from the opening game, the boys set the tone - sharp on the ball, disciplined off it, and playing with a real sense of purpose. They battled through a competitive group stage and showed their class in the knockouts, with moments of individual brilliance backed up by solid team play.

The final was a tense, hard-fought encounter, and while it didn’t quite go our way in the end, the boys left absolutely everything on the pitch. It was a narrow loss, but no heads were down - reaching the final in a strong field was a real achievement and proof of just how far this team has come.

Special mention to the players who stepped up under pressure, those who led by example, and everyone who dug deep for their teammates. The determination, character, and togetherness on show was second to none.

An emotional time for the coaches, bursting with pride to see their team reached the final!

Massive thanks, as always, to our coaches for their support and leadership, and to the parents and supporters who created a brilliant buzz on the sidelines.

Finalists, proud performances, and plenty to build on - well done, U12 Whites!
