Manchester United Finish Clearly at the Top of the Table.

Captain Luke Wilson led his team to a well deserved victory during the group stages of the festival of football at the British International School of Jeddah.

Team Roster


With three wins from three, the full nine points were gained.
Lead up to a fantastic Goal!


The interesting fact was that the goal difference of 9 for and 0 against was an incredible feat, by all the team members. 
Beginning the run!


Through for the strike -  Stunning Goal


This put Manchester United firmly at the top, where they should have been after some fantastic football, which was appreciated by all the supporters.

Another Great Goal By Wilson

Well done!

BISJ Beat BISR on their home turf to win the Football tournament.

BISJ woke early in the morning (4am), to catch the flight to Riyadh for an excellent tournament that included Football, Netball, Basketball and Athletics.

Team talk before kick off.
BISR 0 - BISJ 1.

Great Strike!
After a slow start in the opening match,  BISJ were being kept in their own half for most of the 1st half.   We defended brilliantly and eventually took charge of the match after Luke scored a great goal with a fantastic strike.  0 - 1.

Nice leap - Goalie has no chance
The second was almost in from a corner within a couple of minutes after Wilson gained great height, but his header was caught by the keeper.   0 - 1.

Getting ready for the corner!

Look at that leap!  Nice hands Goalie!
BISR 2 - BISJ 3

Great Tackling
The final, which was thrilling end to end football, saw the home side open the score line, with a great strike.   1 - 0.

Here we go!


BISJ quickly composed themselves and   Wilson equalised with a very impressive shot, that left the keeper absolutely no chance.  1 - 1.

Left footed strike - Amazing!

Laith scored another sitter, which was laid on by Luke, to have the home side wobbling.  1 - 2.
They came back strong and scored making it 2 - 2.


Great Goal!
The final goal, which I believe was the goal of the tournament was scored by Faisal, who controlled the pass from Wilson and shoved it straight over the keepers head. 
BISJ Lost the girls Netball and drew in the Basket ball.  All in all a fantastic day was provided by our hosts and they can be proud of such a successful event.


The Champions
All in all a fantastic day out in Riyadh.
