The team sailed through the qualifying group winning five games and drawing two with only two goals conceded. In the semi-final, they defeated the runners up from the other group (3 v 0) and went on to win the final 1 v 0 (beating a team they had earlier drawn against in the group stage).
We have become very accustomed to winning matches and tournaments over the last few years however to retain the county trophy is no mean feat and one that is rarely attained.
Everyone played their part today and contributed to this success - I was very proud to watch on from the touchline. As tournament winners, we now get to represent Essex in the Southern England regional finals in 2017.
Congratulations to everyone who played in the tournament. Mr Faithfull
