CITY COLTS[6]vFC BRACKNELL[4].UI6s COUNTY CUP FINAL. WELL WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY FOR ALL CONCERNED AT CITY COLTS.TO BE THE BEST IN YOUR OWN RESPECTIVE LEAGUES IS GREAT,BUT TO BE THE BEST IN THE COUNTY IS FANTASTIC.I HOPE THE BOYS APPRECIATE WHAT THEY HAVE ACHIEVED,BECAUSE AS A MANAGER I CERTAINLY DO.AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON WE KNEW WE HAD THE SQUAD TO CHALLENGE FOR ALL 3 TROPHIES THIS SEASON,BUT THE SEASON IS A MARATHON NOT A SPRINT,PLAYERS GET INJURED,LEAVE,OR TAKEN ON BY ACADEMY CLUBS SO YOU NEVER KNOW.BUT THE BOYS WHO HAVE WON LOTS OF TOURNAMENT TROPHIES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS AND REACHED MK DONS FINAL HAVE HAD TO MAKE DO WITH RUNNERS UP IN BOTH LEAGUE AND CUP.BUT THIS YEAR THE BOYS HAVE COME OF AGE BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALY,WITH GOOD DISCIPLINE COACHING ALONG WITH THE OBVIOUS TALENT,THEY ARE NOW THE REAL DEAL.AND ITS WHAT YOU NEED TO BE THE BEST.THE TREBLE DREAM NOW BECOMES REALITY.BUT THE BOYS KNOW WITH CATCH UP GAMES IN THE LEAGUE,AND A BOYANT WOODSIDE ROVERS HAVEING A GOOD SEASON THEMSELVES WHO WE PLAY AT THE MK DONS CITIZEN CUP FINAL,WE HAVE TO KEEP THE BAR RAISED,DO I THINK WE CAN DO IT,OFCOURSE WE CAN,BUT AS IN ANYTHING,NOTHING IS A CERTAINTY. BACK TO THE FINAL.I DID SOME HOMEWORK ON FC BRACKNELL,WE KNEW THEY HAD TO GOOD WINGERS WHERE THEY PLAYED A LOT OF THERE FOOTBALL THROUGH,SO THE PLAN WAS TO STIFLE THEM FOR 80 MINS.FOR THE FIRST 20MINS THAT GAME PLAN WENT OUT THE WINDOW AS THROUGH THERE WINGERS THEY QUICKLY WENT INTO A 2-0 LEAD.WE THEN WERE INCHES AWAY FROM GOING 3-0 DOWN.WHAT WAS DISAPOINTING WAS IT WAS ONE OF OUR WORST PERFORMANCES OF THE SEASON IN FIRST HALF AND IT WAS IN A SHOWPIECE FINAL.ALSO WE KNEW FC BRACKNELL WERE MEAN AT THE BACK AND LET IN FEW GOALS AS PAST ROUNDS PROVED.IF WE GOT ONE BACK BEFORE HALF TIME I STILL THOUGHT WE COULD DO IT.BUT BETTER THEN THAT IN THE LAST 10 MINS OF THE HALF 2 GREAT FINISHES BY SCOTTY BITRA AND ASHLEY DUMBLETON 2-2.H/T.SUDDENLY FROM BEING OUTSIDERS WE WERE NOW THE FAVOURITES.WE TOLD THE BOYS AT HALF TIME WE HAD A POOR HALF BUT WERE STILL LEVEL,WE TOLD THEM GO AND PLAY LIKE YOU HAVE ALL SEASON,AND YOU WILL WIN. WELL I THINK IN THE FIRST HALF THEY TOOK OF THEIR ACCRINGTON STANLEY KIT AND PUT ON THEIR BRAZIL KIT.[MAYBE A BIT OVER THE TOP LOL.]BUT IN THE SECOUND HALF THE PASSING FLOWING FOOTBALL AND SUPER GOALS GAVE OUR FANS PLENTY TO CHEER ABOUT.TO WONDER GOALS BY DOUGIE AND JASON SYKES AND NEAT FINISHES BY ASHLEY DUMBLETON AND SCOTTY BITRA FOR THEIR 2ND GOALS PUT US INTO AN UNCATCHABLE 6-3 LEAD.WITH ALMOST LAST KICK OF THE GAME BRACKNELL SCORED.F/T.6-4.WIN. IN SUMMING GAME UP FC BRACKNELL PLAYED THEIR PART IN A GREAT FINAL AND OBVIOUSLY ARE A TOP TEAM.BUT WHAT PLEASES ME WE HAVE PLAYED SOME TOP TEAMS FROM READING,BRACKNELL,ETC.AGAINST TEAMS THAT DONT CONCEDE MANY AND WE HAVE SCORED PLENTY.WE HAVE NOW IN ALL COMPETITONS SCORED 102 GOALS AND WE STILL HAVE 9 LEAGUE AND CUP GAMES TO PLAY,THAT IS SOME GOING.SORRY IF I COME ACROSS AS BLOWING MY OWN TRUMPET,I DO REALISE THAT I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH A TALENTED TEAM,AND A GOOD COACH.AND THE MANAGERS THAT SHOULD GET THE PRAISE ARE THE ONES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE 3RD AND 4TH DIVISIONS WHO WEEK IN WEEK OUT HAVE TO DO THEIR JOB AND HAVE TO MOTIVATE THEIR PLAYERS WHEN LOSEING A LOT.HOW MANY WOULD DO THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR SO WELL DONE TO YOU. BUT I JUST FELT I HAD TO BIG MY SQUAD UP FOR WHAT THEY HAVE AND COULD ACHIEVE THIS SEASON.WELL DONE BOYS ENJOY YOUR EASTER BREAK.THANKYOU TO FC BRACKNELL AND THEIR COACHING STAFF FOR A CRACKING SPORTING GAME.THANKS TO OFFICIALS AND BERKS AND BUCKS MEMBERS,AND NEWPORT PAGNELL.AND THANKS TO OUR SUPPORTERS.ALSO THANKS TO MY COACH PAUL JENNINGS.
