EUROPEAN MACCABI GAMES - U16 FOOTBALL FINAL
GB 1 ARGENTINA 0

Daren Nathan believes GB's gold medal in the U16 Junior Football final following victory over Argentina was extra special as it was in Berlin.

Nathan Anders, nicknamed 'the Beast', was the match-winner on a day of double delight for GB's U16 contingent, as they edged past Argentina to win the competition.

The Maccabi London Lions centre back, broke the deadlock in the second minute of the second half with a shot following a free-kick from Jack Mattey, capitalising on a rare error from the Argentina keeper who had an otherwise impressive game.

Daren Nathan told JC Sport: "For the first 15 minutes we struggled to cope with their attack. We had a time-out and reminded the boys how we wanted them to play. We moved the ball around well and stretched them. Was always going to be a tight game. Tyler Smith was our man of the match.

"It was great that all the U16 came to watch us and it speaks volumes about the spirit in the GB camp. And to do it in Berlin, at the first Jewish-European tournament in Berlin makes it extra special.

"There's a really good crop of boys in this particular age group in GB. They don't all play for one particular team but we've managed to bring together and they've had the time of their lives."
