Holland are triumphant
6:39am Thursday 5th June 2008
Holland FC took a limited squad to an annual five-a-side tournament at Colchester Athletic.
With more than 40 under-ten teams entered, there was plenty of work to do if they were to come home victorious.
Holland won all their qualifying rounds without conceding a goal.
In the semi-final, they won 1-0 against Lawford and then won the final 1-0 against St Edmunds.
Their winning goal came from a late penalty.
