In a day of mixed news for West Ham fans, Blowing Bubbles can report positive news- involving a trophy.
While the senior men's side crashed 2-0 at Everton in a dismal, characteristically end-of-season West Ham performance after the announcement from the club less than two hours before kick off that manager Sam Allardyce had signed a new deal at the club, the Hammers' U11 girls side did significantly better; a lot better, in fact.
Lee Yeates has achieved great things with his inexperienced but talented side this season and, after wrapping up the league title, eight points clear of 2nd-placed Writtle Minors, the girls today defeated local rivals Upminster Park Rovers in the Essex County Cup final and in doing so, achieved the unique feat of going through the whole season unbeaten.
"This season has been just incredible, for everyone involved with the U11s," Yeates told Blowing Bubbles.
It's been a great season for the Irons U11 girls, having beaten both Tottenham and Millwall by double figure scores, but both the league and cup double and the feat of going through the whole season unbeaten resembles a resounding triumph for manager Yeates. Much of the side's success this season has been down to the form of top scorer Poppy Binding, who has scored an incredible 51 goals this term in just 16 appearances, but the whole team have played with passion, pride and commitment and deserve all the plaudits they get.
