Under 21 Cup Winners
April 11, 2008
Grays Athletic “U21” 5 Oval 1
This inaugural match took place on Thursday April 3 at Ford Sport & Social Club - there was a minute‘s silence before the game in memory of Conor Malone who had been a League Representative for the Chelmsford League, The father of Alan Daly the Oval‘s captain & Katie Johnson.
What an emphatic victory, great credit must go to each individual player for the performances in the run up to and particularly including the cup final, it was a superb night as a whole conducted with a high level of professionalism from everyone associated with the under 21‘s and Grays Athletic Football Club.
With a fully fit squad our performance on the night was exceptional from back to front. It‘s hard to single out lads but credit must go to our centre half Ryan Chamberlain for his man of the match display.
Our penetration from back to front was breath taking at times, therefore looking like scoring with every attacking play.
With an outstanding goalkeeper in Simon White behind the back four we were able to express our forward play.
Our front line lead by Ben Lambert and Tommy Steel was immense throughout the game, with a goal each. Solid hard work from Joe Cable and Bradley Mumford (who were also both on the score sheet) in the centre of midfield gave our defence the protection it wanted, as well as their distribution of the ball that was a big factor in the victory, with Liam Chaplin rounding off the goals, credit must go to all the squad.
Grays Athletic: Simon White, Lee Atkinson, Ryan Chamberlain, Steve Garrad, Darryl Morely, Tom Street, Bradley Mumford, Joe Cable, Liam Chaplin, Tommy Steel, Ben Lambert, Lee Bellinger, Ronald Asante, David Coker, Richard Ajayi. Manager. Bill Mumford, Coach. Billy Mumford, Mascot Jamie Mumford.
Well Done Lads!!
