 Middlesbrough saw off the challenge from second placed team Sheffield & Hallamshire to seal a place in the playoffs with a hard fought 5-3 win on Sunday. Only Loughborough can now overtake Boro meaning a top two finish, and a shot at the English title is guaranteed.
There are two games left in The FA Futsal League North and Boro need four points to take the title and go into the playoffs as winners, but the final two games aren’t until September.
Once again it was a tight affair and wasn’t won or lost until the last few minutes. Both teams had their share of the luck that took the game into the final ten minutes poised at 2-2.
A draw would suit Boro, but it is neither safe nor wise to play for a draw in futsal, where attack really is the best form of defence, as Sheffield and Hallamshire pressed on. They did hit the post before Boro broke only for Robbie Bettson to be dragged back while through on goal resulting in a red card for Jozef Kutnik. Middlesbrough had the advantage but failed to capitalise on two minutes with an extra body on the pitch and with four minutes remaining it was anybody’s game.
Sheffield resorted to the most attacking tactic in futsal and used a flying keeper, where they replace their goalkeeper with a more skilful player to create superiority in attack to try to win the game. A dangerous tactic if not well versed and Boro, with the pace they possess are more than happy to soak up pressure, hitting teams on the counter attack. It was such a move that broke the deadlock as Boro stole the ball to counter attack ending with a Matt Wootton finish.
A two goal cushion was opened before Sheffield got one back. However, Leyshon, straight from centre foxed two players before only having one more to beat, which he did to create a one on one with the flying goalkeeper making it 5-3. He slotted the ball away and Boro went wild, knowing they had done enough to win, and qualify for the national championship playoffs in October.
Manager Damon Shaw was understandably emotional after the final whistle, “All the players put in the best team performance of the season and battled until the end to take us to the playoffs. It’s been a long season already, but now we can relax in the knowledge we are three wins away from a place in the UEFA Futsal Cup (Champions’ League of Futsal). It was a fantastic team effort, but Jamie Russell, making his debut in goal at only 16 was an outstanding performer.”
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our main sponsors, Hertel and TFM radio for supporting us despite not knowing what futsal is. Hopefully now people of Teesside will start to take notice and we can do the region proud and bring back the national title!”
Boro don’t play until September 13th when they host FC Barsa Leeds at Thornaby Pavilion. To celebrate reaching the playoffs entry will be FREE for the final home game of the season.

Grimsby gave
Middlesbrough a scare on Sunday and ran them close in an end to end match, but
it was the Teessiders who came out on top to reclaim pole position in the
league as Sheffield & Hallamshire faltered in Manchester. It was
possibly the most important three points of the season so far with games
falling away fast and little chance for recovery from any hiccups. Boro
can now qualify for the National Championship playoffs with a win next weekend
over second placed Sheffield & Hallamshire.
Boro started well
and created a few chances before Grimsby took an unexpected lead early in the
game before doubling it shortly after to shock Middlesbrough.
It was end to end
stuff, and it wasn’t until 6-6 that Boro finally went ahead as Hamblin, with
his fourth goal of the game, gave Boro a 7-6 lead turning the game in Boro’s
favour. The clock was ticking and at 7-6, Boro tried to keep possession,
but the dangerous Matt Payne was a constant threat, finding space and hitting
the target more often than not. Shane Garvie got the equaliser, but Danial
Hornigold received his second yellow card for an over the top celebration
resulting in a red card and Boro took the lead with a player advantage.

From that time on; Pablo begun to understand the correct structure in organising a Futsal side as well and the different factors required to perform at the highest level in Futsal.
