Silverpoint Vacations Football Team Makes it to Semi Finals

The Silverpoint Vacations football team gave some spectacular performances in Tenerife this month. Taking part in the annual Soccer Experience International 7s tournament, the team notched up some dazzling victories across November’s fixtures.

 The Soccer Experience tournament began in 2007 and has been attracting teams from all over the world ever since. Some teams are even made up of ex-professional players, including Alex Rae of Millwall, Sunderland and Glasgow Rangers and Eric Nixon who played for Manchester City.

The first game for Silverpoint this season was against Liverpool Victoria – the 2009 winners – who unfortunately won 1-0. Not to be deterred, Silverpoint went on to win 1-0 against CWM London and 2-0 against Morfitts, followed by a 3-3 draw against Royal Asia All Stars.

In the second round, Silverpoint was even more successful, with a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest Mobsters and a 0-0 draw against Liverpool Victoria.

However, the Silverpoint Vacations team’s luck came to an abrupt finish after a 0-0 draw against LA Masters/Club La Costa ended in a 7-6 loss on penalties during the semi final round. Guy Japhet – Silverpoint Vacations Telemarketing Manager – commented: “This year we were hoping to go one better and actually win, but we got knocked out in the semi final on penalties…again!”

Everyone at Silverpoint is looking forward to following Guy, Alan, Terry, Dean, Sammy, Ryan and Paul’s progress and wishes them the best of luck for their next tournament.
