Complete Runner Up

MCC completed a clean sweep of the Runner up trophies in the Hawthorns 5 a side, Following on from the 2nd place finish in the league. MCC down to only 5 players for the league cup won their last group game against Old Gits with strong perfomance from all 5 players and Clinical finishing from Rich and Jez, The semi final placed the team against the Parents and now games were 10min Each Way!!! thanks for that Rich:) again a strong work rate and some last ditch defending followed by some fine point blank saves from Mr Neal Merstham thought out a hard 2-1 victory. Unfortantaly the Final again 10 min each way was a step to far as the League winners movement and ability was just to much for the MCC and we were happy to walk away with the Runner up trophy.

In the knockout cup MCC brought in a few extra recruites with the returning J Shinners and J Davids boosting the height of the team, a few teams thought we had turned up for a Basketball Competition:) The Semi final was a hard thought battle against J Lowe lively Merstham Athletic, MCC were leading with 5 min to go when Merstham Athletic equalised to send the game to penalties. So it was a battle against to MCC players MR Neal and J Lowe!!!! J Shinners dragged his penalty wide, But Mr Neal bounced back with two saves!! it was down to Mr Neal to seal the victory but unfortuntly his shot was saved:( but with the first Suden death penalty Dave saved and Ross slotted home to send the MCC through to play Big Time again:(

This time the final was a close thought encounter with the score still level at 0-0 at Half Time, the second half proved to be a more open affair and Big Time had a couple of lucky breaks to go 2 - 0 up. But a fine solo goal by Rich brought MCC back into the game, but pushing forward for the equaliser left obviouse gaps at the back and Big time Made a clean sweep of all the cups and left MCC to claim their 3rd second place!!!!

A big thank you to everyone who has played this season, and look forward to the return of indoor cricket in the new year, and possibly the continuation of the Football.
