Cheers mate. Thanks all. He was pretty down for a while, but he realises what a great achievement it was to get to the final and of course, he'll never forget that winning spot kick!! Thanks everyone.
Your son should be proud of reaching the final, and I am sure he will be once the immediate emotions have gone. Im sure he will come back next year stronger for that experience.
Losing in a final will be good preparation for when he is playing in the hoops mate. I hope he isn't taking it too badly, but I'd bet that he wasn't smiling at the end of the match .......
Had a face like thunder mate!! Doesn't like losing! Was a lot happier after we talked about it and he realises what a great achievement it was to get to the final. I was bursting with pride watching him walk out at the start......pity it went tits up after that!
Unlucky Will and Col, shame really. He did well getting to the final. If the team did their best then that's all they can do.
