Its been a few years since EFC were at IDCFL finals day, so there was a buzz of excitement as players gathered pre-match. A special boost to the team was Pastor Ants driving from 'Up North' that morning to join us in pre-prayer!
Our 2023/24 EOS awards were handed out pre-match (see photos in the media section)
Most Valued Player - Captain Morgan's Washing machine! lol
Top Goal Scorer - Mark Anthony
Managers Player - Luke
Players Player - Henry 'The Rock' sweeper keeper
All awards were well deserved for some amazing performances and commitment to EFC...
The Final - We always felt being drawn on the 4g pitch that this could help us play our pass and move football on a carpet rather than a mud bath and it showed with early pressure paying off when Joel's cross drops to Oba who shoots low for 1-0.
With a massive pitch EFC were able to dominate, winning every ball and soon after Mark Thomas assists Benji to chip the keeper going in off the inside of the bar 2-0.
Upney start to settle and Henry makes a couple of saves and catches until Di Cap slides Benji though with some fancy step overs beating the keeper for 3-0. Then just before half time a bit of a goal mouth melee and Oba fires home for 4-0 at the break.
A couple of changes from the Gaffa and it only takes 10 mins for sub David to slide Oba in for his hatrick and 5-0. And thats were it ended with a comfortable EFC win.
A big thanks to all who have played, managed, supported and helped EFC this season.
