WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY YESTERDAY, AS WE LIFTED THE
BRADLEY LOWERY MEMORIAL CUP.
In the semi-finals we were drawn against NEW HOPE FC.
This was the first game of the day, which proved to be an incredibly tough game, with NEW HOPE FC matching our boys in all departments, and the first half ended 0-0.
This tournament allows all teams to make 7 subs,in each game.
At half time we brought on some ofour big guns, but it was only after a NEW HOPE defender brought down JARO with a heavy tackle in the box that we scored with a penalty by PHILO.
With 5 mins remaining NEW HOPE FC were also awarded a penalty, but a fantastic save by SHAKURU, prevented the game going to extra time.
This was one really tough game.
In the second semi final NAIVASHA WAZEE beat VIWANDANI FC 1-0 with VIWANDANI also missing a penalty.
So after a 90min interval, we took to the pitch against NAIVASHA WAZEE for the Final of the BRADLEY LOWERY MEMORIAL CUP SPONSORED BY DAVE and LUCA JACKSON from South Shields UK.
Naivasha Wazee are a team of former top Kenyan players, and we knew we would be up against top quality opponents, but as usual our lads seem to continue to rise to every challenge put in front of them.
In the opening 30mins we had numerous opportunities to opening the scoring, but finally the opening goal was certainly worth waiting for, because Jeremy picked up the ball on the halfway line down the left, he beat 3 defenders and unleashed a thunderbolt, which flew into the top left corner of the net, leaving the keeper helpless.
Half time 1-0.
In the 2nd half the superior fitness of our lads showed through as we dominated the game and added another 2 goals through PHILO and KEVO.
Full time
SUNDERLAND AFC KEROCHE 3-0 NAIVASHA WAZEE.
This tournament means so much to our club, and we are so happy to lift the trophy 🏆 In memory of our super little hero BRADLEY LOWERY ❤
It was also special to lift this trophy 🏆 on the day we celebrated our 10yr anniversary, in front of our UK President GARY LAMB, and our HON. MP JAYNE KIHARA. who both presented the medals and trophies to the winners and runners. ... See MoreSee Less
