Our football team Emmanuel Church FC contested the Memorial Cup final today.
It was a great performance by the lads, but unfortunately they lost 2-1 with a very late goal in extra time.
Having gone 1-0 down in the second half, the lads equalised through a great strike by Steven Ferguson, meaning after 90 minutes the score was 1-1.
It looked as though the match would go to penalties when NCLC United claimed the win with a scruffy goal from a corner.
But it's been a great season for the team, winning promotion back to the North East Christian Fellowship League Premier Division. Well done to everyone. And thanks to everyone who came along to support the lads.
And everyone is invited to the club's End of Season Awards at the Radison Blu Hotel in Durham on Saturday 4th June. For more information, see Ben Westerman.
