Grays Athletic 1 Lakeview 2
Echo A Division Cup Final

LAKEVIEW produced a performance to be proud of on a sunny day in Aveley Stadium.

They played the league leaders Grays Athletic and dominated the game from start to finish with Bains producing a M.O.M performance.

The early exchanges saw view create chance after chance and they were shell shocked to find themselves 1-0 down at half time after a poached goal by the bright Grays forward.

Some regroupping was needed and View powered out in the second half although the early exchanges did not bring about the goal. With time running out G.Burton created space down the right and crossed for Alhad to thump home from close range.

With the crowd roaring every Lakeview touch the ball got feed to Alhad who tricked the tough left back into a challenge. The crowd went silent as G.Burton stepped up and unfortunately put his well struck penalty wide with minutes remaining.

The game went to extra time but View looked fresh for the challenge and as Mclune picked up the ball he turned and left 3 Grays players trailing before delivering a superb ball to Burton who would not be denied his moment, smashing the ball low and hard in the bottom left.

The crowd went wild and Lakeview carried home the League Cup for the first time. All the boys performed superb. Well done to everyone connected to Lakeview F.C.
