The Jersey Cup

Goalkeeper Jason Valinder starred as Arncott lifted their first Jersey Cup with a 1 � 0 victory over KEA at Bicester Town on Easter Monday. Valinder was named Man-of-the-match in the 120th final after making some superb saves, particularly as KEA pushed forward in the second half. Anthony Davidson scored Arncott�s winner midway through the first half of a clash which was preceded by a snow blizzard. KEA came closest to scoring when Nathan Hunt and Cleveroy Edwards hit the woodwork, while Captain Charlie Bone had an E excellent game. Valinder was ably supported by his experienced defence of Nick Smith, Lewis Smith, Nick Cameron, and Paul Anderson as Arncott held on for victory. �We must have had 40 shots compared with three from Arncott, but it wasn�t to be� said KEA boss Gary Waddup. �Things didn�t go according to plan for us, but it was a well-deserved first trophy for Arncott�.
