Today was the Carling Cup Final with Arsenal playing Chelsea in Cardiff, but the real action was at Frome between Frome Collegians and Avon Arsenal. Despite the unpredictable weather which ranged from a mini gale to bright sunshine the boys put in a tremendous effort and commitment which saw them win 2:7.

Avon Arsenal kicked off and immediately went on the attack putting the home team under pressure, Jamie forcing the keeper to make a fine save. The Frome team did manage to break away with a one to one on the goal keeper, saved by Guy. Both keepers were forced to make fine saves as the game went from end to end. It was Avon who were putting the pressure on Frome when Taity passed a clever through ball to Jamie to find the net with a great shot. The next goal came from a long throw in by Will to Kaylum who scored leaving the half time score at 0:2.

In the second half Will went into Goal. It wasn't long before he had to make a scrambled save as the Frome side desperately tried to get on the score sheet. Chris showed his skills as he took the ball from his own half along the right touchline to score. The next goal came from a long kick up field from Will. A back header from a defender fell kindly to Kaylum who was clinical in the finish with just the goalkeeper to beat. Yet another goal came when Guy crossed the ball to James who managed to beat the fumbling keeper as the ball just crossed the line. The next was by a fine pass from Chris to Taity who side footed the ball into the net, and later Guy was running towards the goal when he was sandwiched between two defenders, who in desperation kicked the ball into their own net.

Frome still forced Will to make some fine saves but couldn't prevent them creating two late goals as Avon were playing without Jamie, who sadly injured his right knee during a tackle, forcing him to miss the latter part of the game. At the end he was helped by his somewhat sympathetic team mates to as far as the edge of the playing field, leaving Jamie to hop back to his car whilst his mates engaged in a mud fight.
