GORDON BRASTED MEMORIAL TROPHY

[PORTENCROSS]

Romford won the Gordon Brasted Trophy in front of 202 at Leslie Field this afternoon by three goals to nil . Steve King scored after 37m then prolific striker Jason Friend added one more on 43 mins and right on the final whistle at 90 mins ... the latter with an added cartwheel to entertain the sizeable and well mannered crowd. I will leave it to others to make their own personal comments !!

Well done Romford! Knew you could do it!

Thanks, whether Ilford having a player sent off early doors helped, we will never be sure. However we really kept to our game plan on the day.

 

Great turn out of support as well.

 

Hard luck Ilford, the ten men must have made it a very hard hurdle to overcome. Also sorry for the very small minority (not regulars I might add)that booed Ilford at the presentation ceromony. I am sure that was over whelmed by the number of Boro supporters giving them a warm round of applause.

Well done Romford, but maybe I would like to ask the question. Why are the finals on days when there are other league games? A few of us from the Abbey would have turned up today? Should our cup finals not be show pieces if poss?

Well Done Romford congratulations.
