Vets Show The Way For Outstanding Win !

Saturday 31st May 2014 saw the final curtain on the season with a showpiece final in the Beckenham Hospitals Charity Cup played at John Roan, Kidbrooke, London.

A very tense and gruelling affair saw Meridian VP fall behind to Sporting Santos two goal to nil.

This being a tense affair had it moments with Meridian VP ending up with nine men and an up hill struggle.

It was good coaching and management that saw the breakthrough with two substitutions on the 65th minute which led to the first Meridian goal with a sublime midfield pass from Wade to Matt who in turn slotted a inch perfect ball to Dan Gaydon and in a blink of an eye bent it round the opposition keeper to the right.

With the momentum on the up and the opposition in a state of shock the second soon followed from Meridian's left with a good strike and save made by the keeper only for the ball to bobble into the goal 2-2.

Extra time was here, players feeling the pain of the 90 minute exploits and one great planned decision.

On came Meridian's last substitute Foday who had the hunger and desire to make the difference and soon enough the chance came with great defending from Meridian VP and a vision of a pass to Foday who out stripped the central defender and lobbed the on coming goal keeper from 30 yards 3-2.

Meridian VP defended and kept there discipline ever so well which finally saw them lift the trophy as CHAMPIONS !

This is a credit to all the management & players on the day who deserved a fitting end to a good season and disappointment on missing out on the league title on the final day of the season.

Well Done !!
