Kop tie planned as U11s are champions

WOKINGHAM District Under-11s have been crowned South Regional champions and will now compete in the national finals.

Wokingham did not concede a single goal throughout the southern tournament, beating Southampton, Basingstoke and Newbury all 2-0 on the way to the final.

Emil Mursalov (3), Ejiro Abbey, George Weston-Brown and Josh Murray all scored for Stuart Bevan’s side but the final against Aldershot proved to be a tight affair.

Despite dominating possession, the game was forced all the way to penalties after a goalless draw where goalkeeper Pranav Ganti was the hero, saving Aldershot’s fifth penalty allowing Murray to slot home the winning spot kick.

The national finals take place at

Liverpool FC’s Melwood Training Ground in June.

WOKINGHAM SQUAD: Archie Shefford, Harry Pashley, Josh Murray, Ejiro Abbey, George Weston-Brown, Emil Mursalov, Pranav Ganti, Sonny Jones, Sam Robinson, Connor O’Donoghue.
