A superb day at Adel for our U8s resulted in a top 5 position out of 14 teams.

The Bradford Boars headed to Adel for the 2024, U8 tournament. A superb day for our U8s resulted in a top 5 position out of 14 teams.

The tournament was split into 2 sections of 7 teams with the top 2 teams from each section playing off for the trophy and the other teams playing the team in the same league position in the other section.

Our first game was against York Vikings and it was a close match, however the Vikings scored in the last minute for a 1-0 loss (The Vikings finished 2nd overall).

Our second game was against Adel Lions and we were 2-0 up from goals from Seb Metcalfe and Austen Lightstead. Adel scored later in the game but a composed performance secured a win.

The third game was against Slazenger Penguins and whilst competitive finished with a 2-0 loss.

The fourth game was against York Warriors. A solid performance was backed up by goals from Austen and a first BHC goal for Callie Haldane for a 2-0 win.

The final game in the league phase was a 2-0 win against Adel Cheetahs with Austen scoring both goals.

This put us 3rd in our league and pitted against York Gladiators in a play off for 5th/6th. What can only be described as a quality, dominating performance from Bradford left Austen with a hat trick and a 5th place for Bradford.

Congratulations go to Charlie, Japji, Austen, Hunter, Callie, Seb and Saraa for an amazing effort.

Awesome.
