TIMBERLEY CHAMPIONS!!

By Joe Perkins

Timbers topple LG in dramatic season finale.

Timberley ended Lyn Green's league domination following a 1-0 win over their main rivals and sealed their first ESPSFA league title.
On a breath-taking afternoon of football at Colebourne, both sides saw off the hosts to set up a grand finale. Timberley struggled early on against The Coles but eventually won 3-1, whereas LG had no problems in cruising to an 11-0 win.
And so the season showdown. And it didn't disappoint. In a tumultuous game played at break-neck speed both sides produced a high quality game of football. Timberley were the dominant side for the most part but LG always carried a forward threat. The winning goal was a beaut, a sweetly-struck half volley that veered into the far corner of the net from twelve yards out and scored by the Timbers captain. Timberley could have doubled their advantage late on but for an unbelievable double save by the Lyndon 'keeper.
The game was played in an excellent spirit with both teams giving their all and were a credit to their schools and the league. It was a brilliant end to an exciting season that sees Timberley crowned ESPSFA League champions for season 2014-15.
