Sunday saw FC Enfield shift there interest to the FA Umbro 5's the competiton is played to 5-a-side rulesbut with a Futsal edge when the game gets to the national finals when teams do not have the boundary boardsto play off and the game goes to grass from Astroturf and 3G surfaces the Wembley Goals centre in Alperton had 60 teams playing in 8 groups with the winners and runners up making it to the last 16 when the knock out stage started.  Enfield started will beating Habs 4-0 in there 1st match Sam Judge scoring twice with Stuart Gore and Zaine Martin getting one each. Game 2 saw them up against Flameno Sam Judge was again on target in the 1-0 victory Game 3 saw the side play Nabs Army Sam Judge found the net once again to make it 3 in 3 gamesZaine Martin score his 2nd of the day, Kirt Osborn and Aaron Cato score one each to round off the performance. Game 4 saws the team awarded the point as the Marion Boys had failed to turn up Game 5 pitched the side again North Team who where also unbeaten as well with 4 wins from 4 matches The game was a hard one and at times was more like a fight with the north team players sticking in a late tackle and squaring up to players with very little down by the match referee much to the dislike of the people matching North Team won the game 1-0 but made very few friends in doing so and showed very little respect to the Arsenal shirts they were wearing. Game 6 should have been against PSV hangover but they pulled out of the competition when one of there players was injured with a suspected broken leg in an earlier match so the points and a 3-0 win was awarded to Enfield Game 7 saws the side up against another good side Pro.Com they knew they needed a win to take 2nd place off Enfield and progress with North Team into the knock out stage. Both side really went for it but Enfield stepped up a gear and working hard as a team keeping the ball moving they ran out 5-0 winnersJustin Dickinson and Zaine Martin score two each and Sam Judge chipped in with another to give him 5 in 4 matches. This saw Enfield thought to the 2nd round knock out stages of teh competition and a chance to playat Wembley as the last 4 teams go through to the next faze of competition against other south east based teams The 2nd round pitch the side up again Magic Monkies who came through as winners of the A Grouphaving had nearly an hour break for the other games to finish and the draw to be sorted Enfield nevergo started Sam Judge scored to make it 1-0 and get his 6th goal of teh day but the opponents ran out 3-1 winners and so teh Wembley Dream is over for this year. Secretary Rob Brassett said' it was a good day out and we played some good futsal against 5-s-side teamson a surface we are not used to playing on' ' This is not a competition i see us entering in the future we picked up some injuries as welland i beleive overall it has not helped our futsal development, It was a good team buildingexercise TeamSean Vinnie WigganSam JudgeZaine MartinJustin DickinsonKirt OsbornAaron CatoStuart Gore Goal scorersSam Judge 6Zaine Martin 4Justin Dickinson 2Stuart Gore 1Kirt Osborn 1Aaron Cato 1
