  A close finish in The Summer Cup

Thursday September 2 2010

 

 

With the Bank Holiday Monday there is just the one game to report. What we lacked in quantity though we more than made up for with importance, as the final game of The Summer Cup group stage determined who would meet in the final. With Ebenezer All Stars already assured of their place it was between Tipton Family Church FC and Hilly House as to who joined them. The latter had the decision out of their hands but the former had to first of all overcome unbeaten Ebenezer.

When All Stars took a 4-0 lead even an honest Pakistani cricketer wouldn't have gambled on any other result than a straight win. Whilst he may have won his bet, he'd certainly have been sweating though as TFC edged themselves back into the game, finishing strongly. It was a case though of too much to do, and not enough time to do it in, as the game finished 4-3.

This coming week sees a number of teams playing their first games of the season. Don't forget you will need to sign all players prior to the games starting and you will need to print sheets for that as well as your match sheet. If you need help on filling in forms etc on the night just ask, Stewart and Debby will be around to help you. And of course it goes without saying, keep checking the site and the officials' forum and have a great season.
