After a fantastic display the U17 secured the Cup with a 3-0 win making it a treble for the  season,adding to the pre-season Trinity trophy they also won making it a 4 trophy haul.

Redbridge started brightly with Reid and Wilson having early shots,but the Games first real save was produced by Rock who managed to stick out a foot on the Colchester goal bound effort,with the game going from end to end and half chances being missed it took a mistake by the Colchester Keeper who misjudged a catch it fell to the Feet of Reid who dispatched it with aplomb into the empty net,with the score at H-T 1-0 and a hotly disputed Pen (home decision) turned down

Redbridge came out all guns Blazing,and were creating many chances but could not find the final ball or were looking for personal glory rather than playing in a team mate,then after 65 mins with some neat play down the right Doukanaris burst into the box and from a tight angle blasted the ball top corner,with the back four looking very composed it looked game over and indeed 5 mins later it was when Wilson played in Downes who unselfishly Squared it for Reid to tap in,by now the midfield were totally dominant and creating chances for fun but unfortunately no more were taken and 3-0 it finished.

Andy and I would like to pay tribute to a great set of Lads who have trained and performed Admirably throughout and have produced a fantastic season, to them all, we wish you luck with your careers and to the Parents who have supported not only the side but also our views which Sometimes you may or may not have agreed with.
