Asfordby Amateurs Inclusive through to People's FA Cup regional finals

Asfordby FC Inclusive came through the county stages of the national FA Peoples Cup EMN-180227-165819002

The club’s inclusive adult team travelled to Aylestone Park FC for the first round last weekend and ended the day unbeaten.

Playing against seven other teams in a league format, the team won six games and drew one to reach the final against Oadby and Wigston.

The match ended in a 1-1 draw 1-1, but Asfordby held their nerve to win the penalty shoot-out 3-2 and become Leicestershire champions.

The feat was even more impressive with half of the regular inclusive squad unavailable.

And it was a family affair for the Judsons with dad Trevor and sons Daniel and Adam all playing.

Youngest son Daniel was outstanding with several goals and a penalty in the crucial shoot-out.

The regional finals will be played in Birmingham on Sunday, March 25.

Club chairwoman Lone Millin said: “I’m very proud of the team and the coaches Heidi and Tyler who give up a lot of their time for the team, and it’s certainly paying off.

“Hopefully we can now get to the national stage.”
