Danbury & Bicknacre FC U12s Win League Cup in Epic Battle<br />
In their first year of<br />
competitive football the<br />
Danbury & Bicknacre U14s FC celebrate their League Cup Victory<br />
Danbury & Bicknacre U12<br />
Royals team won an epic<br />
encounter with Heybridge<br />
Swifts at the Burnham<br />
Ramblers FC Stadium.<br />
Having met several times<br />
this year the Danbury team<br />
had yet to register a win<br />
against their local rivals<br />
from Heybridge. With the<br />
crowd in fine voice the<br />
game started at a good<br />
pace and Danbury drew<br />
first blood after 10 minutes<br />
with a great finish from Jack<br />
C. But Swifts, whilst<br />
shocked, didn’t panic, and<br />
played themselves back<br />
into the game taking a just<br />
about deserved lead of 2-1<br />
into the half-time break.<br />
Whatever was said by<br />
Coach Pashley at half-time clearly worked as it only took 2 minutes of the second half for Danbury to equalise<br />
through a rocket finish from Lawrence M. The game was a real battle now – Swifts with the strength and skills,<br />
Danbury with pride and passion. With 10 to go, Danbury broke into the Swifts box and, through a crowd of<br />
players, Henry T somehow squeezed the ball home to signal mayhem amongst the travelling supporters. It was<br />
along last 10 minutes as Swifts had attack after<br />
attack but rarely really threatened the goal as the<br />
defence and hardworking Keeper Jim were kept<br />
busy. As the final whistle was blown, the screams<br />
echoed out and the tears started to flow – and that<br />
was just the mums! Congratulations boys you were<br />
magnificent.<br />
