SWOCT FINAL SUNDAY 17th APRIL

RAMS 2 BURNHAM JAGUAR BLUES 0

The boys in Red & White were amazing. Battled from the first to the last minute on a glorious sunny day. With the sun beating down on them and the man size pitch draining their energy the Rams stood strong and tamed the Jaguars in style. A clean sheet for Dan in goal who hardly had a decent strike to save, credit to the defence, full back twins Rafael and Fabio, sorry I mean Rayyan & Ridwan! were impressive. Callum and Josh once again were rock solid in the heart of defence. Lukasz in the holding role in midfield fitted in really well. On the wings Sean and Arran worked hard, causing problems for the opposition. In the centre of the park James and Corey owned the midfield, Ollie P upfront a constant threat with his pace. Kasper and Jureme worked hard with the former going close and should have grabbed himself a goal late on.

For the first 10-15 minutes the Blues applied most of the pressure but didn’t really create anything, a quick counter attack saw Ollie P sprint away from the defenders and bury the ball into the net, 1-0. This gave the Rams tremendous belief that they could go on and get a result, also an added incentive to battle relentlessly. A tightly contested first half finished 1-0.

The second half kicked off and again it was the Blues who applied most of the attacking pressure, but they huffed and puffed and couldn’t really get a sniff at the Rams goal, the boys winning every tackle going. Another quick counter, this time Sean making a great run down the right hand side was eventually fouled about 25 yards out. James fired in the free kick which took a slight deflection before nestling into the net, 2-0! The Red & White army erupted with joy! The Blues had no response, the harder they tried the better the Rams defended, we kept possession and continued to create chances going close on several occasions.

A hard fought match, thoroughly enjoyable, worthy winners Beaconsfield SYCOB Rams bring home the first bit of silverware and a trophy for the new cabinet at a refurbished Farnham Park. Not only do the boys go down in history as the first finalists from Beaconsfield at U11's age group but winners as well. A fantastic day and an ecstatic manager given an early Birthday present!

Well done lads and a big thank you to all the supporters who came to cheer us on!
