Grays Athletic Youth (forthcoming seasons U12‘s) retained the trophy they won here last year.
The boys were yet again unbeaten en-route to the final despite being drawn into a tough group containing other Echo league premier teams.
Grays finished the group stages as runners up.
The boys were flagging in the heat for the semi final against Colchester Villa, the game being a draw at full time and extra time, but Grays eventually ran out comfortable 4 - 1 winners on penalties.
Grays met local rivals Corringham Athletic in the final. Grays dominated the first half and went into the break 1 - 0 up courtesy of Jame's great play and finish. Corringham rallied in the second half but were unable to overhaul a rejuvenated Grays team.
Grays scored 12 goals in the tournament and conceded only 2. Tyler was the overall leading Grays goal scorer with 4 goals, all scored in the same match! Well done Tyler.
Yet again it was a good tournament played in a sporting manner by all teams.
Roll on next year!
