The second part of our Kingsthorpe Jets Summer Tournament took place at Thomas Becket, and once again it proved to be a brilliant day of grassroots football.
Across the day, there were 762 minutes of football played, with 265 players representing 22 teams. In total, 80 games were completed and 110 goals were scored, making it another busy, competitive and enjoyable tournament day.
The weather certainly played its part too. The heat made conditions tough for players, coaches and supporters, while the wind added another challenge on the pitch, affecting the flow of games and making every pass, clearance and shot that little bit harder to judge. Credit goes to all the teams for adapting, digging in and continuing to compete with real effort throughout the day.
Tournament football always brings a different kind of energy. Quick matches, fast turnarounds and plenty of close contests meant every squad had to stay focused from start to finish. It was great to see so many players enjoying their football, competing well and playing their part in another strong Jets event.
It was also a successful day for Kingsthorpe Jets teams, who came away with 1 Cup win, 1 Plate win and 1 Fair Play Award. Silverware is always a proud moment, but the Fair Play recognition matters just as much, showing the attitude, respect and sportsmanship we want our teams to carry every time they represent the club.
A huge thank you goes to every team that joined us, along with the coaches, referees, parents, supporters and volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly. Events like this take a real team effort, and we appreciate everyone who played their part.
The second tournament date gave us another excellent day at TB, full of football, goals, teamwork and community spirit.
