St Martins FC (2011-2012) U9 League Trophy Finalist

St Martins FC U9 3-2 Crawley Green Foxes

Crawley Green Foxes vs St Martins FC U9 Sat 3rd March 2012  Kick off 9.30am - venue: Crawley Green F.C

What a great day for St. Martins Football Club, primarily St Martins FC U9’s!, The Cup Final football game that was meant to have all kind of twists and turns, entertainment and never held any disappointment to the big gathering and loudest cheering funs (of both teams) who come to witness a history in the making of this beautiful game of junior’s football.

Both teams were geared to play their small hearts out and try and win the first ever cup final – St Martins FC U9’s went a head just after eleven minutes with a brilliant left shoot by the admirable Lincoln Gilmartins, giving the Foxes goalkeeper no chance. Five minutes later another killer header by another on form player -  Kienan Malone  from a corner kick  delivered by who else but the man of the march  outstanding Ernest Njoroge – That gave St Martins a two goals advantage.  However, the silky Crawley Green Foxes teams had other ideas, were not going to take defeat lying down and managed to reduce the goal tally by one before the end of first half.

Second half started where Foxes left out before the end of first half and managed to equalize soon after with a brilliant goal from Ross Hannah they star player – A well known lethal striker who if given the chance will never give defenders a minutes peace. Ross has scored some spectacular goals this season also scoring over 40 goals in the last two seasons and last years top scorer for Crawley Green Foxes.

Things on and off the pitch were getting more, and more hotter, fast and louder as both teams kept knocking and testing each other goal mouth. Both managers were under great pressure for a win each making varies changes, Then the break through come for St Martins U9 team with less than five minutes to play, when a great pass by Lincoln Gilmartins was received from the right hand side of the pitch by the only player you wish to be in that situation and he can guarantee a cool finish, the captain Musau Mwendo – cool like cucumber trashed a sweet tapping to the right side of the goal post leaving the Foxes goalkeeper Shaun Duffy begging for mercy.

You wish you’re there and see the crowed go nuts with all kind of celebrations, jumping, and dancing with joy as they started to count down the time, figure biting moments - hoping for the end of the final minute to come sooner as the Foxes kept their pressure with momentum, but all doors were closing, and very first - then the final whistle instantly drowned by funs loudest noise ever witness and the pitched was soon swamped with well wishers and noisy crowd of joyful funs.
