The under 15/16 Boys Final was a classic encounter, with the Strikers sealing a 5-4 victory against the Victorian Lions.
It’s been a successful last couple of weeks for St Albans Strikers’ coach Rob Lakovski, after also leading St Albans Secondary College to two titles in the State School Futsal Championships late last month.
Cobras Futsal Club gave up a strong fight to finish the highest placed under 15 Boys team in the combined under 15 and under 16 age category.
Overall it was a very successful competition for the St Albans Strikers, after closely losing three semi finals and losing out 6-2 in the under 14 Boys Grand Final to an impressive Benchwarmers side.
In the under 13 Boys category, South Melbourne JFC were too strong for the Melbourne Futsal League Champions, Australian Futsal Group, with a 4-1 win.
Sandringham WSC bounced back after several early injuries to make the under 12 Boys final, but couldn’t overcome an energetic Australian BSA team who ran out 10-3 winners.
A strong crowd on the Show Court witnessed the Melbourne Reds team clinch the under 11 Boys crown with a 5-2 win over Monash City JFC.
FFV Business Development Manager, Chris Ryan, was delighted to see involvement from regional Victorian clubs.
“To see strong teams from Woodend and Warrnambool in the younger age categories and participating from Camperdown is really encouraging,” Mr Ryan said.
“Hopefully, events like this can be the catalyst for Futsal development in regions dominated by other sports.”
