Thorplands Utd B came out victorious on Sunday 3rd August at the Northamptonshire FA Charter Standard Clubs adult festival. The 4th annual pre-season 11-a-side competition organised by the County FA was held at Moulton College’s fantastic facilities and over 100 players took part.
The eight teams were drawn into two groups and therefore played three matches to decide their group placing. Each match lasted 25 minutes and the point scoring system was as follows:
Win = 3 points
Draw = 2 points
Lose = 1 point if only by one goal. e.g 0-1, 1-2
- 1 point for a yellow card
- 3 points for a red card plus player takes no further part in competition
The place in which each team finished their group matches was dependant upon who they played in their forth and final fixture. The final fixtures and festival placing were:
