Bloxham make the final

On a bright sunny morning Bloxham headed of to the easington tournament.
The players were really looking forward to it and were full of energy which showed from the first game.
right from the first game bloxham attacked teams and passed the ball well and some of the goals were fantastic.
the first four results went as follows.
Bloxham 1- 0Tower hill
Bloxham 2-0 Brackley athletic jaffas
Bloxham 3-0 Banbury united
Bloxham 2-0 Easington sports reds
Bloxham 1-0 shipston excelsior
Bloxham were solid all over the field and were playing as a team working for each other.
the second half of games seemed to be a bit to much for Bloxham as there positioning and team play started to go astray.
Here are the results of those games
Bloxham 0-1 Grove
Bloxham 0-3 Kennington sport
Bloxham 0-2 Brackley Town
Bloxham 0-2 easington sports

Bloxham played well in those matches but couldn't seem to be able to find the net.
Had they done enough to make it to the knock stage?
Yes they had and they had to play Easington sports reds in the semis and they played really well with some exciting attacking football and got their reward when one of there players handled the ball in their area and bloxham got the penalty and scored it.
full time 1-0.
The team they would meet in the final was Banbury united and to be honest bloxham played better than banbury but couldn't seem to get the ball past the defence and they paid the price when the opposition took a shot from distance and scored.
Bloxham did not give give up and kept on pushing forward and got there reward when there shot was fumbled by the banbury keeper to go over the line.
full time 1-1
Extra time started and like before bloxham piled on the pressure but like before struggled to get a shot off but banbury broke free and scored a lucky goal when they just hit it from the half way line and it went in.
Bloxham nearly got a equalizer right near the end when there free kick when inches wide.
full time Banbury 2-1 Bloxham.
Bloxham played well in the tournament and it was a very long day and to be honest i think all the teams that entered did well playing 11 matches over a period of 6 hours and i bet all the players slept well.
