Wembley Stadium Att: 90,000

Sheriff is celebrating a Cup double tonight after his Boston Rock side saw off the CFJs in the WSFFL FA Cup Final. It was a disappointing game for the neutral with the pitch cutting up badly and preventing both teams from playing their natural free-flowing game. Darren Bent, who has taken more than his fair share of stick this season opened the scoring on 29 minutes. He was quickest to react when a cross from the right caught the CFJs defence in two minds and lashed the ball past Edwin Van der Sar. Sheriff couldn't contain his delight, vindicated by his continued faith in the striker.

The Boston Rock rearguard did the rest from there. Paul Robinson displayed the sort of form that made him England's first choice and Curtis Davies, on as a sub for an under-par Rafael, also gained the plaudits of the 90,000 crowd. It was former Boston Rock player Chris Samba who came closest to an equaliser but his looping header dropped wide. Glen Johnson finished off the CFJs challenge with his clean sheet. Congratulations Sheriff, more silverware to the Whitby Grove Enormodome, unlucky Chris, a good effort getting to a final in just your second season.
