The just-above-pointless Victory Shield football competition is taking place (or even taken place and finished?), as the home nations U-17s / schoolboys, battle it out for the Victory Shield, covered on Sky Sports. Not a competition I follow at all, however, an outstanding (Welsh) goal from the competition was brought to my attention by David, is it better than Roberto Carlos' effort?
Anyhow, before that, i'd read the back page of the Flintshire Chronicle this week, headlined "Leap To Victory", with huge picture and complete back page spread dedicated to a Hawarden High School pupil. He was of course "hoping to follow in Michael Owens footsteps to English glory". The lads father runs a business in Ewloe, and from the article, he couldnt be prouder of his son representing England... it just riles me, maybe because the lad from Connahs Quay High had a small sentence at the end of the aricle, a throw away "and ye this kid will be playing for Wales by the way"... I know in the grand scheme of things it means nothing, even the great goal above is, as Dave said, just some lucky strike caught on Skys cameras from a school kid we'll probably never hear from again...
Anyhow, the best piece of YouTube football footage ive seen lately has to go to... no, not Lee McArdles goal above, but to this inspired GENIUS piece of work, from the North Wales Coast FA's Cookson Cup 1st Round, Denbigh Town v Glan Conwy:
Incidentally i went ot watch Halkyn Utd v Conwy Utd the other weekend in the very same competition, for the record Conwy won 2-3 AET.
