We have waited so long…..

We have waited so long…..

Cobham News Editor25 May - 21:03

Cobham prevail on penalties after the tightest of contests at Kiln Brow in the playoff semi final vs Redhill.

We have waited so long…..Could it be that Step 4 football could be coming to Anvil Lane next season?

Even though we knew we would be in the playoffs some 2 month ago, we did not know our opponents until 21st May, just 10 days before the season had to end by stipulation of the FA that no football shall be played in June. It turned out to be Redhill who finished 3rd after their 3 points deduction and against whom we had taken 4 points in league fixtures.
What was probably one of the worst games we had experience throughout the season was then totally transformed by the thrill of the penalty shootout and celebrations which followed.
Craig Lewington and his relatively small squad just about deserved the win on the day which has brought us to the final in Jersey this Wednesday.

The club been waiting 140 years to achieve this standard and the prospect of playing some of our more illustrious neighbours such as Leatherhead and Kingstonians is truly exciting.
Jersey and Redhill achieved over 20 points more than Cobham in the league, before the 3 point deductions so to beat both of them would be a truly outstanding achievement.

You will be able to follow the playoff decider vs Jersey on Football Web Pages or even better, we will be live streaming the final in the clubhouse on Wednesday 28th May
Kick off is at 7:45pm

Come on you Hammers!
