Young Bognor footballers enjoy tournament triumphs

Two Bognor junior football teams are celebrating summer success.

Bognor Regis Town Youth under-tens made it to the ONE Tournament National Finals Day at St George’s Park.

They were runners-up in the national heats, narrowly losing out to Gerrards Cross Youth 1-0 in the final after winning their group unbeaten and coming through penalty shootouts in the quarter and semi-finals.

They were joining Gerrards Cross, Alverchurch FC and Cookley Lions for the Grand Finals. It comes on the back of an unbeaten league season and a league cup win.

The young Rocks have been travelling around the south this summer collecting tournament wins at Reading, Winchester and Romsey.

Meanwhile Bognor under-12 Whites had a day to remember in winning the AFC Littlehampton tournament at The Regis School, going one better after finishing runners-up in the previous week’s tournament.

Scoring an impressive 24 goals and conceding just four, Bognor finally ran out deserved winners, beating West Hove 2-1 in a nail biting final.
