U11s football team create own lockdown cup final

An under 11s football team created their own lockdown cup final, following social distancing rules, after missing out on the chance to play it for real.

The team made it to their own divisional cup final after a successful season, however they never got the chance to play and potentially lift their cup trophy, due to lockdown.

After being 3-0 down, they soon battled back to make it 3-3, with seconds remaining.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live asked Alistair Bruce-Ball to add his commentary – but will they win the title?

The team members have relatives and friends that work for the NHS, emergency services and are carers, so they dedicated this video to those working on the front line during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This clip was originally broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 Live Drive on 6 May 2020.
