Cup Final

Sunday 25 March 2007 Under 17's Knockout Cup Final
Oxford City 0 v Kennington 1

Well done to all the lads from City and Kennington who did their best. Unfortunately it wasn't to be City's day.

Kennington had most of the first half aided with the Ardley slope but City's defence held firm and went in at half time 0-0.

Shortly into the second half Kennington were given a very questionable free kick just outside City's box and Kennington made the most of this and took the lead 0-1.

Oxford City applied more pressure and tried in vain to reply but Kennington defended their one goal lead.

Again, well done to all the City lads, having knocked all the other 'A' league teams to get to the final. A big thanks for the support from the parents etc. including Claire, who I believe was chastised by the Referee for being too vocal at one end of the pitch! I wonder what the Referee would do if he had to referee a Premier game with 30,000 baying fans behind the goal - "Please be quiet you lot"!!
