Braves 1 - Lytchett RTU 2
The second half of this game demonstrated the grit that has been associated with the Braves for the whole of the season...2 nil down at half time we came back very strong, dominating the game from the off! Unfortunately the game was marred by a dodgy decision by the referree who I think all bar none felt should have awarded a penalty to the Braves when Josh Powley was pushed and tripped from behind in their penalty box...could so easily have been a different score!
Undeterred we showed Lytchett what we were made of and had 'em run ragged for the full thirty minutes...sadly, we missed a number of opportunities at goal and the final score in no way reflected the result that should have been.
Well done to all the Braves this season finishing a respectable 6th in the league (I understand the reason Weymouth Wyke Victoria beat New Milton was because one of the New Milton dads broke down on route to their match carrying 3 of their players and the Ref wouldn't delay the game....we should have ended up 5th by rights - another dodgy ref eh!...Not to worry...there's always next season).
Man of the Match - Ben Stocker....despite being put under pressure in the first half as goalee he came out into mid-field second half and showed determination, driving the ball forward and scoring.
Season Trophies:
Players Player - Chris Birrell
Managers Player - Tristan Jalie
Next Season the Braves will be able to merge with the Colts and form a formidable team. Those of you that have expressed an interest in continuing with BFC Colts, please contact Alan Millward who will let you know training arrangements for the start of the next season.
All the Very Best for the future...
Paul.
