Paul Cartmell Memorial Trophy Final

Athletico Phoenix 0

v

The Cow-Faced Juniors 2
Hooper 13
Speroni [c]


(No cancelled cleans)

Att Wembley Stadium        Att: 90,000

Teams:

Phoenix: Marshall; Mertersacker, Williams, Lowton, Evra; Morrison; Januzaj, El Ahmadi, Cazorla; van Persie, Redmond 
Subs: Friedel; Jenkinson; Mulumbu; Bendtner

CFJs: Speroni; Coloccini; Cameron, Vlaar, M.Turner; Sigurdsson, Ozil, Willian, Kim; Hooper, Suarez      
Subs: Mannone; Riether; Pozuelo; Graham

This one won't go down as a classic final but Chris won't care when he parades the Trophy at Drove Stadium.  Brian's injury-hit team were employing project 'Stop Suarez' and while that worked Gary Hooper had too much room on 13 minutes and his long range effort took a deflection and looped over David Marshall and in.

With a clearly struggling Robin van Persie failing to make an impression Brian's best efforts came from Nathan Redmond and Karim El Ahmadi who had shots deflected over. The CFJs seemed happy to sit back and soak up the pressure and Julian Speroni was relatively untroubled. It was Chris's keeper who picked up the clean and ultimately clinched the win.
