Making our debut in the seven-a-side competition, the Blues won each of our five matches, defeating fellow Women’s Super League sides Everton, Leicester City, London City Lionesses, Aston Villa, and lastly Manchester United. <\/p>\n
There was a breathtaking climax in the final as, just as it appeared the contest might be heading to a sudden-death extra-time, Beever-Jones popped up a dramatic winner to end the tournament with the MVP and Golden Boot awards. <\/p>\n
The three-day tournament had seen a mixture of good fun and good football, and ended with a familiar sight: Chelsea lifting the trophy. <\/p>\n
Our Academy graduate proved to be the standout performer, with seven goals and six assists across the competition. Yet she wasn’t taking herself too seriously after the victory. <\/p>\n
‘I think I enjoyed myself a little bit too much!’ she joked. ‘I was messing around with Maya (Le Tissier of Manchester United) the whole game, but I think if I could play another sport, it would be this. It’s absolute chaos \u2013\u00a0and I’m absolutely exhausted!<\/p>\n
‘We didn’t really know what to expect. And if I’m honest, watching United in the group stages, we were worried. They’re very, very good at this. I think we were four-one down at one point, and we came back to win it.<\/p>\n
‘It shows how close we are as a team and how much we believe in one another.’<\/p>\n
