In the last 20 minutes BBOB managers Don Alford and Drew Thompson opted for experience. The arrival of Seamus Morris and Mark Blair certainly gave a bit of life to the BBOB side. The two subs combined in the 74th minute to set up Blair for a shot on goal. The shot landed safely in Simpson’s arms.

BBOB came into the game more in the last quarter but didn’t really throw the kitchen sink at Lincoln Courts. In the 79th minute Bryson’s free kick rebounded in the box but landed at the foot of a Lincoln Courts player. With time running out controversy struck in the last three minutes.

A great run from the lively Richard Lynch left him inside the Courts’ penalty box, as he headed for goal he was tripped inside the box. The BBOB players felt it was a penalty kick but it was not given.

I enjoyed the game, I was impressed with the sporting attitude of both teams and by the willingness of both to play open football. For Leeds supporter Wayne Glenn, this may be the only silverware he sees for a while!!

Both teams had talented players on view but the Lincoln Courts players performed better as a team and that was the difference on the night
