It was a busy afternoon for 1^st Adderbury’s A team captain, James Pope, who also had a commitment to play for the Banbury Youth Team. Not wishing to let either Banbury Youth, or 1^st Adderbury down, James rushed between the two matches thanks to a very understanding mum!

The Indoor competition comprised a league of all the teams, who played each other in a series of 9 minute frantic games. The battle for supremacy was fought hard with the final match of the afternoon between the two teams at the top of the league, 1^st Adderbury A and 7^th Banbury. The winners took the necessary points to win the trophy, and that was 1^st Adderbury with a 2-1 win.

Scout Leader Andy Green said, "The lads were so keen to win this competition they organised their own training sessions in the Warriner School sports hall. That obviously paid off. It was great to hear the cheer from our parents and supporters as our team brought home the trophy once again.

"The only problem now is that I’ve got to polish it for another twelve months!"

Members of our winning A team were: JAMES POPE, SCOTT COBB, MARLON DOBSON, ADAM SOURCE, DANIEL SOUTHWELL and CRAIG TOWLE.   Members of our C team were: JON EVANS, ANDREW MAWLE, ROBERT POPE, DAVID PRIOR, LUKE McCUTCHEON and ANTHONY RAYMOND.

Members of our B team (who came third in the competition) were: MATTHEW BARTLETT, JOE BLAKEMAN, LAWRENCE PUTT, PETER RAYMOND and TOM NORTON.
