Gloucestershire County League, Les James League Cup Final at Wick FC
AEK-Boco 0 Little Stoke 0, 1-4 on penalties (att 420)
It's always worth keeping an eye out for the final of the Gloucestershire County League's cup, as it's often on a Sunday and the hosting duties tend to get shared around.
This year it was at Wick FC, handy for me as their Oldbury Lane ground was one of just four in the league I'd not been to. It attracted a large crowd, and Wick did a good job of organising the event and catering for supporters.
Although the 90 minutes were goalless there was no lack of incident. It was a physical encounter, both sides had chances, and as a neutral it was a terrific cup final.
AEK-Boco's goal had always seemed a little more in peril during the match, and so on balance I think the better side triumphed in the penalty decider, although there wasn't much between the teams.
Wick is a village in countryside east of Bristol. The football club, who have just completed their second season in the Gloucestershire County League, have a decent ground. The clubhouse was busy with a large crowd, and there are two football pitches, one of which was put to good use as a car park.
The main pitch is railed off, with a pair of dugouts. There's no cover for spectators, although those standing on the far side can benefit from shelter provided by a line of trees.
