After two weeks of some great six-a-side football which saw welcome additions to the trophy cabinets of Green Cypress, Spartans and Colloids, the last game of the competition came down to a cup final between league founding members Squadron and German All Stars. With the match tied after 15 minutes of normal time which saw chances for both teams and some really excellent saves from the Squadron keeper, it was 4-on-4 5 minutes extra-time. Enter Steve Cairns, GAS player-coach for the day, who took on the GK jersey to give the Huns, what seemed like, a one man advantage with the Germans keeping possession and moving up the pitch. Cue the Bagman who received the ball around 20 yards out, took a touch and then rifled home the winner against a spirited Squadron side. The rain stayed away most of the day and the mercury kept to a reasonable level making for a fine day of football and a nice close to the 2016-17 season.
