This is what it is all about. Playing lacrosse and winning a trophy.
Ultimately the day ended as I had hoped, with Timperley taking home the
cup, but I never thought that it would prove as dramatic as it did for
players and parents alike.
In the round robin format, a lot depends
on the draw, and we got a favourable one, with only Cheadle (last
year's winners) looking a threat. We breezed through our opening two
games, winning 13-0 against Mersey Guild B, and then Wacs 12-1. The
whole afternoon changed with the Cheadle game as we struggled with
their direct tactics and eventually went down 2-3. Chins were down, the
boys were moaning about the ref, which in reality was good to see
because it showed they cared; from this moment on, the team seemed to
gel as they realised they were going to have to fight for this cup.
The
fourth game was against an unbeaten Mersey Guild A, and we had to win,
or it was the early bus home. We came through in style to record a
comprehensive 12-1 win. Bring on the semi final draw........... which paired
us with Cheadle. We were going to have to win it the hard way.
The
game was as we expected but our tactics were better and we coped with
Cheadle's long game. We were never ahead, but never more than a goal
behind, and we were playing some really good lacrosse, whilst not being
hurt too badly by the big kids on the opposition. Full time came, with
the score at 3-3. It was a golden goal to settle the game - first to
score wins - no pressure then.........
This led to what was for me the
most memorable and important moment of the afternoon. We won the face
and after a bit of scrapping, put together a great four man passing
move that ended with Oli Loveland coolly slotting the ball home for his
hat-trick, the golden goal and a sprint half the length of the pitch to
celebrate with his team mates. I was leaping around and so were half
the spectators - we'd won it 4-3 to reach the final against Rochdale.
Rochdale
had one really big player and we played him as best we could.
Unfortunately we'd not been tipped off about their other top player who
would go on to score 5 goals in the final. However, it didn't matter..........
This
was another game where we were never ahead until the end, but again we
held it together and were never more than one behind. To counter the
two good players Rochdale had, our team played some excellent lacrosse,
slugging it out goal for goal, only losing its head once with about two
minutes to go where the long ball reared its ugly head. We got over
this mini crisis and then took it to Rochdale from 5-6 down to score
two in the final 90 seconds to be 7-6 up. Our ball on our back line
with 20 seconds to go and we killed some time, before a final assault
from the big kid was repelled, and we'd done it, winning 7-6 in a
brilliant final.
Every one of the boys played their part today
(Matthew Stewart, Sam Harris, Oli Loveland, Oliver Crosby, James
Prickett, Will Callaghan, Tom Cox and Ed Loveland). They became a real
team over the course of the afternoon and ended up really battling for
each other to achieve the victory for themselves and the club. There
are a lot of proud parents, coaches and managers in Timperley tonight.

Sunday
29.11.09 the final match of the U19 league and Timperley players knew
that a win would see them lift the trophy for the first time in the
club's history. In the event, as closest rivals Brooklands lost in the
match immediately before, Timperley had won the trophy before their own
match started. But the players wanted to go out with a clean sheet of
wins.
Cheadle
had other ideas and quickly took a two goal lead but the Timperley
players continued playing with the inner belief that cream rises to the
top and soon the Cheadle keeper had to make two good saves but then
Greg Sandy with a burst of speed drove from behind the goal and scored.
1 - 2
Elliot
Shaw hit the post at the start of the second quarter, then Ollie White
gave the final pass to Elliot who scored and Jack Brook who shot
narrowly wide. Cheadle were rocked back by the force and power of the
Timperley attacks which came at them from all angles with Tommy
Kirkland getting the third goal to take the lead and then it was one
way traffic with Jay Armstrong winning all the faces. "Rob Nob"
Edwards, Jim Anderson and Will Hawksley all played their part in the
dominance with Ross McDermott being denied by a great save from the
keeper but Timperley added another three for a score at half time of 6
- 2.
Mike
Smith got in on the act supporting the attack with his long stick in
the third quarter and more goals came with the Timperley defence of
Tommy, Matt Raven, Larry Poole and Pig Forster keeping Cheadle chances
to a minimum. The quarter ended with Ollie shooting and diving at the
same time but the goal was disallowed. Ollie looked good whilst doing
it though !! 8 - 3
Coaches
Justin and Rory did not let Timperley relax in the last quarter and
more flowing moves saw another two goals, although at one point the
Timperley defence were down to a three man zone with Mike, Ross and the
Mighty Pig trying valiantly to keep Cheadle out which they managed to
do for almost a minute, but Cheadle scored late on in the penalty. Will
Hawksley took a face and showed he perhaps should have taken more in
the league with a good effort. Final score 10 - 4.
The
celebrations afterwards showed how much winning the league meant to the
players and they had done it in style coming through some tough matches
by playing excellent lacrosse. The team remained cool and calm when in
a close match and is a sign of their collective maturity. They fully
deserved the trophy.
36 shots, 24 on target, 10 goals (good display by the Cheadle keeper).
17 face offs, 12 won.
10.5 minutes penalties.
Stats by "Statto" Toby Hawksley, drier than last week.
