Cubitt Cup Final 

The Nest provided a perfect venue for the Cubitt Cup final. Sprowston Junior were the first ever winners of the trophy in the 1960s, and we were hoping to add our name to the trophy once again. 

We knew the game was going to be a close affair and that is how it turned out. In the first half, we pushed forward and tried to create chances without having too much success against a strong Falcon team. Ethan, in goal, was commanding his area well and dealt comfortably with Falcon's efforts. Sonny, Jack and Toby defended superbly to keep the score at 0-0 at half-time. 

In the second half, the game continued in the same pattern. We were able to make some in-roads into the Falcon penalty area but a clear-cut chance just wouldn't come. Ethan was having a great game in goal and kept us in it, until a break down our left led to Falcon slotting the ball away to lead 1-0. After that, we rode our luck, but we were still hanging on at 1-0 with the clock ticking down. With a minute to go, Wanye managed to win the ball back and attacked down our right. He put a dangerous ball over to the far post and Julian was inches away from a spectacular equaliser. The game finished 1-0 to Falcon who were worthy winners on the day. 

Well done to the team - a fantastic achievement to reach the final and hopefully an afternoon to remember.
