in at the far post and a second from Olly Farthing who
tapped home after another great effort from Newson. Harling
got back into the game and scored a good goal direct from a
free kick. In the second half it was end to end football but

solid as ever at the back Brandon defended well. Jamie
Newson was awarded a penalty which was well taken by Olly
Farthing for his hat- trick. This was a great all round
team effort from the lads & a great result to end the
season. Final score 4 – 1

April Plate Competition @ Mundford FC
Brandon lads under 8's
have just won through to the South Norfolk League
Plate Final. In lovely conditions at Mundford FC, the
boys played 3, 14 minute games against, Watton, Bulldogs
and
New Buckenham. The boys narrowly lost their first game 0
- 1 against Watton, but then bounced back with a 3 -0
win versus Bulldogs, which then set up a nervous last
game against New Bucks, knowing that only a victory for
them and hoping that Watton may slip up against Bulldogs
would
see them through. After going a goal down, the boys
battled hard and got back into the game
through an own goal. This gave the boys some more spirit
and they managed to score to give them the lead. On the
other pitch Bulldogs were holding Watton and the final
whistle blew for a final score of 0 - 0. Brandon now
knew that they needed to hang on to their lead to make
the final, which they did. Well done to all the boys who
took part, and lets hope for a brilliant Plate final.
The final will be held at Watton FC on the 6th May
kick-off time to be confirmed.
