Royalist Cup 11

Royalist Cup 11

Purple Cavaliers     The eleventh Royalist Cup was played on sunday september 20th, at Bedgrove,  Aylesbury, Bucks. The Purple Cavaliers were victorious beating the Gold Cavaliers by the final score of 8-3, after only leading 3-1 at the break.
Ryan Blake grabbed a hat trick on his impressive Cavalier debut for the Purple Cav`s, along with other debutant strikes from Jamaican Howie Hylton, and Leon Thompson who powered home a header. The Gaffer Paul Borzone slotted home a penalty, and Jordan Castello and Josh Rice also netted. Rai Long struck an hat trick for the Gold Cav`s, which made him the all time leading Cavalier goal scorer with a tally of 31 goals.
Dino Rice stood in as a last minute choice as goal keeper for the Purple`s and played very well. Young Jamaican Jabari Hylton caught the eye for the Gold`s with some mazy runs and trickery, whilst Devon Blackman was again so close to getting his first Cav`s goal.
The game was refereed well by original Cavalier Errol Henry, who`s task was not helped by not having any proper linesmen.
It was only the first loss for the Gold Cav`s in the eleven Royalist Cup Finals played to date.
