MEADOW Park under-14s ended a long and hard season with a deserved 1-0 victory over Newtown Sports to clinch the Worcestershire FA County Youth Development League Cup.
The boys from Bromsgrove controlled the opening exchanges and took the lead with a wonder strike from Terrel Jeffers but their resolve was tested throughout the remainder of the game.
After a mammoth season, Park’s squad of 15 was carrying no fewer than six injured players so when midfield maestro Harri Gerner was forced to leave the field after 18 minutes with a sprained ankle, things did not look good.
Despite the odds, Park dug deep and showed tremendous spirit to stifle Newtown’s attacks and lift the trophy for the second year running.
Park are looking for new players to add to an already talented squad which finished in the top half of the Central Warwickshire Youth League Premier Division.
