13/05 - Under 10`s Exeter Friendly League Cup Final

Tiverton Town 0 v 1 Crediton Saints

It turned out to be a bad day for a cup final with the conditions not allowing a normal game of football and the pitch being severely waterlogged it turned out to be a lottery.  Although Tivvy went 1 – 0 down early on it did not at all reflect the game with the yellows having the majority of the possession throughout and Ryan Clarke having very little to do between the sticks.  Tivvy were always pushing for the equaliser but the Crediton goal keeper was on fine form and the conditions stopped them all the way. Whilst Tivvy outplayed the Crediton side the goal needed was frustratingly not achieved.

All the players deserve credit for reaching the final and should feel proud of themselves for finishing comfortable winners in the unofficial table with games played in such a strong league.

Did Crediton Saints beat Tiverton today or the weather and bad pitch conditions? Well the pictures tell the story of a game better suited to a swimming pool.
