IS THIS the best day you can ever have?
You turn 10 years old, a solid birthday and first foray into double digits. Then you’re named captain of the day for your Lynbrook Lightning Under-10’s football team.
With the match in the balance, you kick a goal in the final quarter, against the howling wind, to ensure your side a narrow victory.
If your name is Tysyn Dacey, then chances are you would’ve loved Sunday as well.
The green-and-black-helmeted Lightning midfielder struck more than once – with his impeccable attack on the football helping his charges to a crucial win.
A strong tackler and gut-runner par excellence, Tysyn is a well deserving winner of this week’s Little Legend.
