SECOND HALF COMEBACK SEES STAPLEFORD RETAIN THE CUP

 EUROSOCCER NOTTINGHAMHIRE SENIOR INTERMEDIATE CUP FINAL

STAPLEFORD TOWN RESERVES FC 2 GREYFRIARS FC 1



A last gasp header by ROBSON GREY saw Cup Holders Stapleford Town Reserves retain the trophy.

The game began and from the first corner of the match after 74 seconds, Greyfriars JACK HOPPER headed the ball downwards in to the net. Greyfriars from a division below looked to build upon their lead and just before half time saw the Town keeper pull off a superb one handed save from a 35 yard free kick.

Stapleford came out fired up for the second half and were soon back on level terms after 49 miuutes when a header by JAMES HALES found the net.

The tie flew one way then the other with chance after chance and Greyfriars must have thought theyd taken the lead with 12 minutes to go when another free kick smacked the corner of the underneath of the crossbar and the follow up was slid just wide.

With the clock ticking down and people thinking about extra time, a third headed goal of the game was scored by the Stapleford captain to take the trophy back to the Town.

A entertaining game where I felt all 4 match officials had very good games
