On Tuesday 21st May, the Chilcote boys' football team played their final league fixture against Wheelers Lane school at Yardley Wood playing fields. The boys knew that if they drew or won the match then they would win the league. If they lost the match then Chilcote would be waiting for the final result between Wheelers Lane and Hall Green to see who won the league.
The game started as a cagey affair with neither team wanting to let the other team in. Chilcote were on top in the first half but Wheelers were dangerous on the break. During the half Chilcote had two great chances to score but unfortunately put the ball wide of the post on both occasions. Wheelers Lane had one great opportunity to score as well but Ryan made a last ditch interception to clear the ball before it went over the goal line.
In the second half, Chilcote tried their best to find a goal but their final pass just would not come off and when it did the Wheelers Lane goalkeeper was always in the right place to make the save. Wheelers were having some chances of their own and Chilcote had Benjy to thank for pulling off an outstanding save when the Wheeler's winger was through on goal. Devastatingly, just five minutes from the end Chilcote conceded a goal. The ball got played over the top and the Wheeler's winger got to the ball at the same time as Chilcote's keeper and the ball bobbled back to him to roll into the empty net. Chilcote tried to find an equaliser, which on the balance of play they deserved but couldn't. The final score was 1v0 to Wheelers Lane.
Unfortunately this result meant that Chilcote had to wait forn the outcome of the Wheelers Lane Vs Hall Green fixture to see if they had managed to win the league on goal difference.
The result is now in and Wheelers Lane beat Hall Green 8v2. Fortunately for Chilcote this wasn't enough goals to take top spot away from Chilcote! An incredible season has ended with the boys finishing in the top South Birmingham league in first place on goal difference. Mr Cross and I are extremely proud of all of the boys and what they have achieved this year. We both are so pleased that the boys have finally got soemthing to show for all of their efforts! Well done to all for their fantastic season!!!
