Geoff Springhell Cup 2009

Wendover Juniors 1 Holtspur FC 0
Cup winners - at last - reward for a very tough season and for disappointment in the league cup against Prestwood. It only took 1 goal to seal the win but it was such a close game with a real battle on their hands the boys did exceptionally well.
The boys lined up before the game and a very professional set up at Burnham Football Club all made the pre match build up extremely tense.
The breakthrough came quite early on with a fantastic run from the half way line and yet again 1 on 1 with the keeper Josh finished calmly and sweetly into the bottom left hand corner.
Once the second half had started there were more chances for Wendover but Holtspur really did push on and try and equalise. One move by Holtspur started from the halfway line and ended up with complete chaos in defence luckily Jack pulled of a double save which even Premiership keepers would have struggled with.....this really was the save of the season..fantastic Jack!

faboulous job asusual - the Juniors are going to miss both you and Adam - I hope he gets to play lots more football.

You have done so much for the boys over the years especially on presentation day - we will miss the BMI goodies (though I am sure this year they would have been Virgin)but thankfully John will not be able to replace his shirt for free and will have to buy a proper Refrees top.

All in all you will be missed because of the fun you have brought to the boys - but then as a Reading fan you always need a good sence of humour
