Riverside Kestrels U11 v Thurlaston Magpies U11 League Cup Final

After already winning their cup group, Riverside Kestrels also reached the league cup final at Holmes Park against unbeaten Thurlaston Magpies on 20th May.

The early stages of the game were understandably tight and end to end with both keepers making some good saves. However Riverside started to take control and deservedly broke the deadlock towards the end of the 1st half through a strike from Ben Linney after rounding the keeper. Thurlaston nearly hit back right at the end of the first half, but for a point blank stop from Connor Read-Bray, which enabled Riverside to go in 1-0 at half time.

The second half followed a similar vein with Riverside dominating the early stages and went further in front thanks to a 20 yard free kick by Spencer Braker. Thurlaston fought hard and pulled one back in the last 10 minutes. In a frantic final few minutes Riverside produced some fantastic last ditch tackles and a great late save from keeper Felix Kennedy enabled Riverside to hold on and deservedly win their second trophy of the season 2-1……a brilliant team effort!
