# Year 11 District Football Champions

Year 11 played four games and won all four in their District South group stages, which set up a Grand Final against the Winners of District North - Baines High School.  Having lost against Baines for the last two years in the final, this was a great opportunity!

After a nervous start Garstang went 2-0 down after some errors let Baines strikers in.  Garstang got one back but then Baines scored again, leaving it 3-1 going into the half time break.  Garstang made some formational changes with 15 minutes to go and it paid off with 2 goals in quick succession.

At 3-3 the game went into penalties.  Garstang missed their first two shots but goal keeper Joe Nayler kept garstang in with a couple of fine saves.  GCA went on to win the shootout and took the title in dramatic fashion.

*Well done to the team: Joe Nayler, Will Lawrenson, James Cameron, Josh Taylor, Elliot Wright, Jerome Jolly, Josh Gilmore, Jonny Hezel, Ben Keay &amp; Tom Ruston.*
