Sala Futsal Club U16s Boys and Girls have won the regional Finals of the FA Pokemon Youth Futsal Cup at Wolverhampton College on the 17th June.
The Boys who are reigning National Champions 2022 made another step forward to retaining their title as they booked their place in the finals with only 48 hours notice..
The team were originally eliminated from the tournament in the Northern Regional finals comming second.
They then got a message on Thursday night ( 15th).inviting them back in with two ither teams due to a few teams having to drop out. So as a late wildcard and with no preparation the boys turned it around with their second bite of the prize.
The u16s girls were also Victorious after winning their group and also go through to the finals.
This National competition is the Futsal version of the FA Youth Football Cup.
During the 2022/23 season local County FA's have run local qualifying rounds with winners from each FA moving onto one of 4 Regional finals events, with the Regional winners moving onto the National Finals at Wolverhampton University on the 8th/9th July.
