County Cup Final at Kempston FC v a decent bunch in Bromham.

An absolutely beautiful day , pure blue skies and very warm.

First 10 minutes we were pretty poor. Early clearance over our defence and their talented striker shot wide. Our opponents had one other shot wide and their 2 strikers work incredibly hard.

After that period though we settled and pushed Bromham back and played some really good stuff. We lost Luc who landed awkwardly on the hard ground and hurt his shins. George Mc on .

First chance came to Henry but keeper closed down well. Then some lovely play down the right and ball into Brandon who shot just wide.
We had a corner cleared but then Callum Mc fizzed in the next chance. James attacked the front post got a lovely glancing header and we got the breakthrough 1-0 Barton.
Niall put a lovely ball through to James , he got his run right but shot well saved by their keeper.
Towards the end of the half I felt we continued to have our control and had further chances with Louis and Callum Mc heading over.

Half time 1-0 Barton.

Second half we started poor again but we didn't give Bromham any clear chances.

I felt although we never felt under any pressure in the second half we at times did not get our real flow going. In saying that we must have created another 5-6 chances.

Wonderful play down the left and ball fell to Charlie who shot over. Henry looked like he had a tap in but great block. Brandon shot wide before Henry went close 3/4 more times but it was not to be his day.

Although the last 5 minutes got nervy we never looked like conceding and huge congratulations to the boys for winning another County Cup and now they have done a treble this season which is an incredibale achievement. Wednesday night we play in the League Cup Final at Ampthill and the possibility of an unreal Quadruple,

Players of the day go to Charlie ( just keeps the ball and passes simple yet forward playing) and Kyle after a shaking first 5 mins was awesome for the remaining 85 mins.

When done lads.
