CUP FINAL

Ilford  3 v 2  Redbridge Utd Boys
Sunday 5th April 2009 
Burroughs Park, Kick-Off 10:30am
 

A thrilling second half saw Ilford clinch their first ever Essex Rosser Under 15s Cup crown with a 3-2 triumph over Redbridge United Boys at Great Wakering Rovers Football Club's Burroughs Park home.

"This caps our team's achievements off nicely," said Ilford boss Wayne Moore of a side which has mostly been together since they were Under 7s. "A number of our boys have been together a long time, with a few additions along the way, and to win the County Cup is a fantastic achievement for them. We had a lot of the play in the first half and deserved a lot more but were pegged back on the stroke of half-time. We still felt confident, though, and I'm delighted we went on to win it. We've had a few players out injured, too, which makes it even sweeter."

Eastern Junior Alliance outfit Ilford grabbed an early lead against their Echo Junior League opposition, stealing a 7th-minute advantage when Daniel Jones steered an angled shot beyond 'keeper Jake Hammond from six yards.

Much of the opening period saw Ilford in the ascendancy and they were disappointed not to extend their lead. Daniel Bondzie and Billy Morris saw low drives drop just wide of the post while Jones was unlucky to see his lob bounce back off a post and into the arms of grateful 'keeper Hammond.

Redbridge had been let off the hook and they took full advantage, levelling the tie on the stroke of half-time, a fine move seeing Liam Hurley's neat pass find Michael Nicolson who cut inside his marker before despatching a low shot into the bottom corner.

Buoyed by their equaliser, United were resurgent after the break and could have taken the lead when both Tommy Richarson and Joe Oates saw grounded efforts fly just off target and Andre Gumbs also tested 'keeper Jack Smart from range.

However, Ilford responded strongly and Taylor Young-Chambers had seen a low strike pushed around the post before the resulting Matthew Garrity corner eluded the Redbridge defence and drifted straight into the far corner to give his side the lead on 55 minutes. It was a lead which was doubled just four minutes later, Bondzie controlling the ball 25 yards from goal before hitting a stunning volley into the top left-hand corner, leaving Redbridge 'keeper Hammond clutching at thin air.

The tie wasn't dead, though, and Redbridge pulled a goal back within 60 seconds, Gumbs' 20-yard free-kick finding its way into the bottom corner courtesy of a kind deflection. The goal gave Redbridge hope, but Ilford remained resolute to clinch their inaugural County title.
