The Horncastle Town under 12 squad did particularly well in their age group.

They entered two separate teams into the tournament, both teams playing each other in the semi-finals, with the victor going on to win the final in a tense penalty shoot out with local rivals Spilsby Town.

It was a great way to end the season.

The under 12s squad will be playing at under 13s level next season in the Mid-Lincs County Youth League, and training places are available for players who aspire to play competitive league football, or who simply wish to improve their football skills in a friendly environment.
