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.
