It just looped over the goalie and went in."If it hadn't gone in he probably would have cried as it did hurt - but he was over the moon."You can hear all the parents initially wince and go 'ooh' when it caught him in the face. "Then there was a big cheer as it bounced over the keeper and went in. "Everyone has just been laughing about it.

The fact I caught it all on video was even more comical."They are a great little team and have all been together from the age of five or five"Lewis actually scored two goals in the game, the other was a nice strike where he chipped the goalie.

But this one was so comical it has got all the attention."
