Wales Crowned Anglo-Welsh Futsal Champions – The U14 Welsh squad, including nine lads from Wrexham, won the National Futsal Alliance Anglo-Welsh International Championship after a thrilling 8-6 victory over England at the Score Centre in London.
Man Of The Match
Osian Evans scored five goals, earning him the Man of the Match award. The other goals came from Kyran Byott, Kyrun Ruscoe, and Morgan Griffiths, showing the depth of talent this remarkable team possessed.
The other members of the squad were Deiniol Evans, Keegen Barton, Dewi Williams, Kai Edwards, and Ioan Morris. Darren Phillips, Ethan Evans, and Andrew Ruscoe formed the management team.
Reflecting on his incredible performance, Osian Evans said, “It’s an honour to represent Wales and win in such a tough match. Scoring five goals was amazing, but it was a total team effort. We worked for each other. To lift the trophy with my friends and teammates is a moment I’ll never forget.”
“Talent And Determination”
Andrew Ruscoe discussed the advice he’d given to the youngsters: “From the very beginning, I told the lads to enjoy the occasion, don’t feel pressurised, and make sure they come away with magical moments to remember from this game. They did exactly that and more. These boys gave everything, played with heart and skill, and brought the trophy back to Wales. It’s a testament to their talent and determination, and I couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them.”
Special thanks also go to Adam Alfi – who purchased a mini-bus to ensure the team could travel; Robert Bassett – the event organiser; Saith Seren’s Chris Evans – who provided the music that lifted spirits; and Steve Griffiths, who drove the team down to London.
The game itself was a nail-biting affair, with England putting up stern resistance. However, Wales’ sharp finishing, tactical awareness, and resilience saw them through.
