When we last won it, and before our hiatus, were we treating it as a full team competition or had we already started sending our youth team at the point?

OutByEaster? Posted May 15 Moderator Share Posted May 15 9-0. Six goals, one a penalty, and ten substitutions in this half - two added minutes. That's a referee who cares about people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been sharper and fitter, pressed them well and passed it around them very well - they were never in it to be fair to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I wasn't expecting to win given how close some of the previous games have been and presumably Racing Warwick are a tougher opponent than we had previously faced given how well they had done up until this point, they actually beat small heath U21s 2-0 in one of the previous rounds, and they're almost thirty points ahead of Coventry U21s in the development league But on the night we were far far superior and seems an understatment, I think we could have won by a bigger margin if we had wanted to, but despite that I though in isolated moments that Racing Warwick showed some play and can see why they've done well at their level 9-0 biggest victory in the final since the competition began back in 1876 been played every year since then except for pauses for the two world wars and covid-19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unused Sub Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Not much to say on the game last night. I was expecting a tight game, similar to the previous rounds. Like the look of Rowe and Borland (just wish he was a foot taller). A word for the Warwick goalie, got caught out for the second goal but played well having a hot time of it second-half, almost kept out the pen. Scorers: Kellyman 18mins, Borland 20mins, Young 35,57mins, Moore 67,90+1(pen)mins, Pierre 73mins, Richards 86,90mins Team: Wright (sub: Emery), T.Rowe, Patterson, Bogarde, Swinkels (sub: Katsukunya), Borland, Young (sub: Richards), Alcock, Wilson (sub: Moore), Kellyman, Jimoh (sub: Pierre) At the trophy presentation I was pleased to see the County FA chap pointing out (I assume) our name on the plinth to our captain James Wright. In our 150th year its nice that the cup that cemented our name back in 1880 is back in our hands. Away from the game itself, the longest queues I’ve seen at half-time for food and drink – hope Heck was in attendance to see it. Loved the look of utter confusion when a women carrying a pint of larger was turned away from the stand and was told she could only drink it on the concourse. Lastly, had the honour of sharing a urinal trough with Tony Daley. Pisses like a horse. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my group of 3, the club missed out on the sales of 6 pints, and I'm sure they missed out on a lot more besides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This and the issues around exiting the car parks have been noted for the FAB meeting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted Tuesday at 10:27 Author Moderator Share Posted Tuesday at 10:27 Spurs won the final 3-1. Deserved champions. We can take heart from the fact we gave them 2 mighty scares across the season in a 5-3 and a 4-3 defeat. Ultimately though they did beat us 3 times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
