South Beds Sunday Football League - Invitation Cup Final
Crawley Green 1 Globe 0
Virgil Blennerhasset's Crawley Green (Sunday) Thirds ended the season in triumphant fashion with their second cup final in two weeks at Ampthill Town FC.

In a far better game than last week Crawley forced the game from the kick-off with Darren Smith testing the goalkeeper with a stinging shot in the first couple of minutes.

The game went from end to end in pouring rain and both keepers excelled as the game went to half-time level.

The second half was more of the same but Crawley possibly just edged the game and won the game with a scrappy goal half way through the second half from veteran striker Gary King - to the delight of a large following for the maroons.

King (above) must like the Ampthill ground for he scored two of the three goals in last weel's cup final win.
