Panthers Defeat Medway United In Cup Final Classic

Panthers Defeat Medway United In Cup Final Classic

Ben Bradley5 May - 11:19

u16s Panthers 2-1 Medway United South

The Panthers headed into the John Leeds Cup Final against Medway United South as favourites, having beaten them twice during the league season.

60 started brightly and were moving the ball well but were missing the finish, while Medway looked dangerous on the break.

The Panthers broke the deadlock halfway through the first half, excellent pressing from Prince won the ball from the right back, he drove into the box and his excellent cross was flicked home by little Sam who made a superb run across the defender.

Both sides had opportunities, but 60 preserved their advantage at the break.

The Panthers came roaring out the traps and doubled their lead minutes into the second half as Josh's inviting free kick into the box fell to Joe, who swept home from 8 yards out.

But Medway fought back and halved the deficit as a dangerous free kick was palmed away by Matthew, but the ball was squared back across goal and bundled home from close range.

Medway now had the momentum and were chucking everything at the Panthers, but Man of the Match Louis stood strong and keeper Matthew kept them at bay with a number of vital stops as the Panthers held on to lift the John Leeds Trophy!
