Final Tournament Update 2 - The Senior Final!

Match Report 2: White Eagle's Dappers of Devastation: 3 William's Garage: 0

The Dappers know this will be a tough match. They watched the semi final between William's Garage and San Sero, and saw the way William's Garage scored 2 superb goals against a team that the Dappers only drew with in the group stage. With their junior boys losing in dramatic fasion in the mornings junior final they know that nothing less than a win and taking of Nigel the cow will be good enough.

The whistle blows and immediately the Dappers look purposeful, Crow gathers a bouncing ball on the right and from 30 yards strikes it powerfully, looking to lob the keeper. The keeper tips it over the bar. It's all round good football apprecieted by the fans who show this appreciation with loud applause and shouts of excitement. From the resultant corner Crow gets his head to the ball but sees it bounce inches wide. It's a promising start for the Dappers.

This promise is converted into a goal 5 minutes later. Another corner is delivered into the box by Walu and Bukenya, the burly Dappers central defender, rises above the rest to power the ball into the net. The crowd goes wild with some taking to the field including John Lutaaya who stuffs 10,000 shillings into Bukenyas hand in appreciation!

The Dappers have the initiative now and get their second soon after. This time a free kick from 25 yards on the left is taken with pin point accuracy by Blick who sees the keeper a few yards off his line. The keepers flailing arms are helpless to keep the ball from flying over his head and into the net for number 2! What is Blick's reward? The adulation of the fans and 10,000 shillings from the sprinting Lutaaya!

The Dappers sense weakness within the Williams Garage side now and ruthlessly expose it with a third 10 minutes before the break. A great through ball is met by none other than Fred who controls to ball with one touch then blasts it into the top left hand corner from close range. Once again the fans take the field and Lutaaya parts with another 10,000 shillings.

Half time comes and the Dappers are happy. Every player is playing well and some feel that the game could already be won.

In fact this is indeed the case, William's Garage rarely threaten in the second half and the Dappers have the ball in the net again in the 60th minute. the linesmans flag is all that stands between the Dappers and their fourth goal. In the end it stays at 3-0.

The final whistle blows and the crowd errupts. The Dappers have always looked strong but have had to work for their cow. Although on paper it looked like the tournament was always going to be theirs it is only by good preparation, hard work, great skill and fantastic team spirit that this tournament has been won. Bring on Nigel, and let the feasting begin!!!!
