CONGRATULATIONS to Oggy Baz and all the lads who have just clinched the EMJFL Main Cup with a 2 -1  win against Waterloo FC  The lads had to battle back from a goal down which to be honest was against the run of play But they rallied and totally dominated the rest of the game and scored two cracking goals the first from Macauley Hogg who latched on from a Carlito Graham flick on to run clear and round the keeper  and calmly stroked the ball into the net it stayed like that till the second half when again Carlito was instrumental in the lead up to the second  taken sublimley by the smallest man on the pitch  Conner Teat who ran his socks off as did all the lads, my personal man of the match was Joe Peters who i thought was brilliant  This trophy adds to the preseason trophy won by the lads in the Warltle Cup in leeds which i like to point out was the clubs first I`m very pleased that these lads have started  and fininshed the season with silverware and i believe the best is yet to come from these lads WELL DONE BOYS …Pat
