Not to be

[urchinman1961]

Took a wonder goal to sink us after a nervy first half and a magnificent penalty save from Wrighty kept us in the game .Second half much better well that goal yeah a cracker chances towards the end but our luck run out   fair play to Cheshunt wish them well I think they'll do well so a few local derby'sfor us  next season,up the Urchins

Lads have played well unfortunately at the final it was not enough.Team came alive in second half. Next season onward and upwards one sea side away venue Canvey. Congratulations to all who arranged this match today. One down side the flare thrown into the pitch.

We was so unlucky today we have been robbed by the referee and linesman as the last goal what was disallowed should of stood but it is what it is. It will hurt us all massively but we move on and next season we will become better and hopefully win the league as I think we have a squad that will come back and do it better next season so hopefully we can do it . Good luck cheshunt next season but I definitely think they will go down next season so next season we will see them in the state we was today and next season we will be like them having a party but let’s take this lose as a lesson learned and see you all next season 

come on you Urchins

Well what a scorcher there second goal was, and they defended well. Just could not make our chances count today. Still proud of our squad who have given us another nail biting season. More to come We’ll Be Back.

Thanks for the hospitality today and graciousness of handshakes and well dones  at the end .I'm sure you'll be doing it all again next season. You are a great club with fantastic support  and you'll come again . Good luck and thanks again .

[blackballed]

Thanks for your kind words, it's still a bit raw at the moment,  but we move on.

Let's hope that the season after next we can renew our battles.

Good luck and stay safe.

Great effort from the lads but not to be today. Looking forward to pre-season already

Obviously gutted but there’s a number of factors here. Firstly, that physical battering from Enfield a few days ago, culminating in losing our player of the season in the final, that took a toll. Secondly , Cheshunt are the in form team in the league, some good defending from them today (one hell of a last ditch block from a defender showed the spirit of the team). Thirdly, that was a special second goal from them, worthy of a win. And we didn’t get the rub of the green which you need in games like this - still not sure why that goal was disallowed at the end. After an injury hit first half of the season, to get this close is a testament to the players and management at Hornchurch and we just need move on from this season and get ready to go again. Might be a bit more open next season, the best team in the league for the last two seasons , Worthing are not there next time so that makes it more interesting.  Yet again more praise for Dave Holland, our amazing kit man and one of the nicest guys you’re ever likely to meet, he’s going to be missed. Well done to Cheshunt and we move on

It just wasn’t our day but the boys can hold their heads high. We go again next season after a well earned rest.

See you all the AGM!

Cannot fault the efforts from anyone on and off the pitch. Humungous effort and such an achievement getting here from where we were (even though it doesn't feel like it currently).

Very good summary

Fantastic effort from all the volunteers and staff yesterday, great atmosphere.

The boys just couldn’t get over the line at the final hurdle.
