Despite the ice and snow there was a full house at Wembley for the traditional WSFFL Boxing Day showpiece, the Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy Final. Boston Rock were attempting to with the Trophy for the third year in a row and they were up against old rivals and the team they defeated 12 months ago, Aardvark Abacus.
Ady's team have been right out of form in recent weeks and they started slowly again today. Darren Bent had already gone close with a header but he made no mistake on 17 minutes when he timed his run to perfection to power Sheriff's team ahead. It was Bent's tenth goal in all competitions this season and follows on from his strike in last season's FA Cup Final. A man for the big occasion indeed.
The game wasn't a classic by any means with chances at a premium. William Gallas came closest to levelling the match on the hour but couldn't force the ball past a determined 'Sky Heroes' defence from close range. Sheriff's team held firm with few alarms after that and the final whistle confirmed his team as the first to win any WSFFL Trophy three years in succession.
