CHAMPIONEES CHAMPIONEES OLÉ OLÉ OLÉ

Buntingford Cougars Under 15’s Blues secured the Royston Crow League title on Sunday with one game to play as their only contenders Sawbridgeworth Town dropped points going down 3-1 at home to Baldock Town Templars. Sean Curran’s team did their job with a sound four nil victory away at Hitchin based FC Comets. To claim the accolade of champions before their final home game on Wednesday at The Bury is a fitting tribute to the team that lost their league final just one week before against their title contenders. The picture shows Cougars Under15’s.

Before the half way mark Robin Harpin added a second with a determined effort from close range.

In the final twenty minutes the hosts scored twice and were on top so it was with some relief to Cougars that the final whistle came.
