It wasn't quite the finale I was expecting on Saturday I have to say, instead it was one of our poorest performances for some time.
Whilst I do think Lympstone may have had a couple of players from their other team and the referee did call some very strange decisions, one of them resulting in their second goal, we can't use these as excuses. Lympstone were the better team and fully deserved their win, they showed grit, determination and the right attitude - everything that we were lacking on the day. Hopefully, this will serve as a valuable lesson for the future in that you should never go into games thinking a win is a sure thing.
Well done to Andrew for getting our only goal of the game and to Sean who I thought was our best player.
Fortunately, the result didn't make much difference to our season so don't let it put too much of a dampener on things. If at the beginning of the season someone said we would finish mid table I would have thought it was highly unlikely but you proved me wrong and for that you should be very proud of yourselves - well done!
For anyone who isn't already aware the following awards were given out at our end of season awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon:
Player of the Year - George
Players Player of the Year - Ollie
Most improved Player - Zac Burnard
Congratulations once again to the three of you - fully deserved!
I've thoroughly enjoyed my first season with you all and hope you have too. Have a great summer, enjoy the World Cup, and i'll be in touch about the new season in due course.
