The first half started and Boldmere came out of the blocks flying. They immediately put Chilcote under pressure and won a couple of corners in a row. Chilcote had a couple of breaks but for the most part were penned into their own half. Halfway through the first half Boldmere were awarded a free-kick just outside the penalty area. Boldmere's captain stepped up and curled the ball into the top corner to give them the lead. The first half continued in the same fashion with Boldmere having a lot of the ball but Chilcote occasionally breaking. On one such break they won a free-kick of their own right on the edge of the box but Ben's shot just went past the far post from a tight angle. At half time the score was 1v0 to Boldmere.
In the second half Chilcote stepped up their game and played better. Unfortunately, the Boldmere captain was an excellent player and twice in quick succession he ran through the middle of the pitch shrugging off all challengers and smashed the ball into the bottom corner on both occasions. Then, not long after Boldmere scored their fourth after a shot deflected to their striker who put the ball home. Chilcote did not give up and they did not let their heads go down. In fact after the fourth goal went in they had their best period of play in the match. They won a few corners and from one such corner the ball struck Etik's knee and flew into the net to make it 4v1. Chilcote huffed and puffed after that but couldn't find a way past the excellent Boldmere midfield and defence. The game ended 4v1 to Boldmere.
Mr Cross and I (Mr Haycock) would like to say how proud we are of the boys and what they have achieved this year. Just to get to this final is an amazing achievement! Also, we would like to thank all of the staff, parents and family members who came to support the boys in the once in a lifetime match!
