After a big talk with Tim we went out onto the pitch knowing we were going to do well. We had a good start with Mark getting a few chances but none of them converted. We were looking the better team with more passes and using the width of the pitch, but just before the whislte blew for the fisrt half a high cross from Broomfield Percival which Djan couldn't get hold of went over him and they finished the first half with a one goal lead.
We came back more determined than before and really pushing the defense to their limits but still no goal, then a good ball from Terry in the center of the field, to Mark who took it past a defender and taking a shot he narrowly missed the post but our supporters didn't think that as they cheered with joy only later to find out that it had missed! But with little hope left a great ball from Tim set Mark who passed it to Pedros who took a shot but the keeper saved it then Tom R came charging in and fired the ball into the back of the net.
But that wasn't enough with even more enthusiasm Mark took another shot which again they keeper luckily saved but Tom R was there again and from outside the box shot the ball into the net and this time nobody could keep there excitement back as everyone cheered with delight.
As time was ticking Broomfield kept pushing. The final 10 minutes was all in our box, with plenty of corners against us and them trying their best to get a goal back but with some excellent defending by all we managed to keep our cool and win the trophy!!!!!
After all the celebrations the trophies were awarded but the guy who was presenting really mucked it up thinking we were the losing and then giving Broomfield the winning trophy!!! Luckily their captain pointed it out and we celebrated in style.
Well done everyone.
