This was the first of 2 cup finals that these boys are in.

This was such a good contested match between 2 strong teams and there was not much in it.

Ransome started the game well and where putting Holland under pressure.

Midway through the first half Ansemi broke on the left and went past the defender and hit the ball towards the goal . The shot hit the near top corner  post.

This seemed to awake Holland up a bit. and just on the stroke of half time the break through came for Holland through Ansemi.

The 2nd half got under way, and within a few minutes ransome striker latched onto a ball and raced onto goal with just the keeper to beat.. he neatly tucked it into the net. a dubios goal as he was at least a yard off side. but the linesman never saw it that way.

Holland soon struck back through ansemi to restore the lead

Holland just had to hold out for a few minutes to claim the cup.

disaster struck as Ransome was awarded a penalty. which took the referee ages to make up his mind. 

The penalty was struck to the left, hard and low. Glen pym was so unlucky not to get a hand to this .. but was just out of his reach.

With Extra Time looming the final whistle went.

Glen Harms Hollands Manager had a few minutes to sort out his team.

The first half Of extra time went by with both teams cancelling each other out.

The 2nd Half of extra time went by the same way untill in the last few minutes Ransome was awarded a free kick just outside the area. this was hit towards goal. and off a rebound Ransome stuck the ball in the net.

There was not enough time for Holland to get back into this game after the restart ..

Holland Travelled to bottom Club Oyster for this Fixture. Looking to end a run of four games with out a win.

This Game was played in such a good spirit from both sides.

Oyster may be bottom of the league but there players play with such enthusiasm for the game.

Holland started off really well playing some good football. Alfie Pym at times playing the lone defender as Holland pushed forward time and time again.

Then the breakthrough came with Holland scoring there 1^st goal. After this the 2^nd was added quickly. Through Bailey Eden and Thomas Collis.

The Boys was again starting to enjoy there football.

George Beer was playing solid and chasing the ball all over. And made some good runs and tackles too.

Finally young Tommy Whyte got his 1^st goal for the club, who could have had a hat trick if things had gone right for him.

George fuller then replaced George Beer and slotted into his normal position

Thomas Collis raised his game a bit more. As he was now looking for his 1^st hat trick for the club. And we were not disappointed when it came.

Final Score Oyster 0 Holland 6

Holland would like to thank oyster parents and manager and boys for such a good atmosphere at this game. And this is our it should be at this level of football.

The Holland under 8's Lose again should be the headline to this game.

Holland have now gone 115 minutes with out scoring a goal.

The questions might Be asked why, considering we was having a good season,

With a depleted squad at the moment with injury sickness and holidays,we where just about to put a team out for this game,

on reflection to the 7 boys out there, these young boys fought for every ball in this game and worked there socks off for each other,

Only to concide a goal in each half, and even then when they went 2 goals down there heads did not drop.

This was by far the best performance i have seen in terms of commitement and courage of this team this season.

Well done to every player out there on the pitch who gave everthing.

Final Score Brightlingsea 2 Holland 0

On the Best pitch in this league we witnessed a game of football. with us coming up against a good brightlingsea side.

This was a real battle with either side not giving away much at all.

Holland threw away chance after chance in this match and even missed a penalty..

If one goal had been scored i think it would have been an avalanche of goals

But on this occasion it was just not there day.

Final Score

Brightlingsea 0 Holland 0

This was an enjoyable game played by two committed teams.

Both teams created chances in the first half. Kurtis Firkins came closest for Holland when his shot hit the post.

The second half saw Holland apply a period of pressure. There were a number of goalmouth scrambles and it was one of these that saw Connor Holbrook poke the ball through a congested goalmouth into the corner.

The goal appeared to relax the Holland side. They started to play with a little more assurance and were unlucky not to score a couple more.

However, Clacton never gave up and created a number of goal scoring opportunities in the last five minutes.

Their efforts were rewarded when Charlie Spence who had caused the Holland defence problems throughout the match, forced an equaliser in the last minute.
