Noah over the Moon!

Noah's JIS U8 team played in a tournament last weekend at a school outside Jakarta.

It was actually the first time that this team played together and guess what??

The team won the tournament!

First we won all our 3 group matches pretty convincingly....7-0, 4-1 and 5-0.

In the final we were up against our old foes STB...the team that knocked us out of the CUP last year. They have Fandi Ahmad's son in their team. Some people in Holland may remember Fandi...he played professionally for FC Groningen in the 80s for a few seasons. He was considered the best player from SE Asia. His son is the best 7 year old player I have ever seen. Really talented and way ahead of all his peers.
We managed to contain him pretty much though during the game....he only scored once against us. The final was a very close and tense match. We scored first, they tied it up 1-1 HT. IN the second Noah scored his first headed goal ever to put us in the lead 2-1, but they again managed to tie the match 2-2 FT. In the resulting penalty shootout we were the luckier team beating them 3-2.

Here are some photos of our proud boys with the trophy.
