SEASON REVIEW – LOUGHTON THURSDAYS

Another superb season on Thursdays at Loughton which ended on one of the best games of football!

PINK PANTHERS had set out on a mission, having won the Championship in their first season they were looking to win back to back titles immediately, and after losing the first two games due to holiday fill ins they started up against it!

After some fine form they went into the season finale against YK, league leaders and reigning champs.

YK looked set to bag a second title in a row as a win here made sure they would wrap it up

YK started off strong and in a great game of football which was end to end at times, they led 2-1 with 4 minutes to play and Panthers at this point looked miles away! But they dug in deep and brought it back to 2-2 with about a minute on the clock, at this point this result meant BAYER NEVERLOSEN could benefit by winning their game they could take the title home for the first time!

But then out of nothing PANTHERS worked an opening and slammed the ball home to send the lads into hysterics to claim their first Premiership title and back to back titles!

What a superb season and congratulations to the new Premiership Thursday Champions – PINK PANTHERS

Squad: Luke DIMOND, Cane SULLIVAN, Sean O’REGAN, Bayley CLARKE, Jack SMITH, Ben SMITH, Will HUDSON, Liam DALEY, George MILLER & Sam MAY-PARROT
