The Cookham Wanderers need a new trophy
cabinet after a fantastic International football victory in Portugal!
 |
||
|
We are the Champions |
||
| Yes,
Cookham's leading footballers pulled off a legendary win at
the Algarve Stadium when they beat the Beacon Dynamos 2 - nil in a
classic nail biting encounter on a football, tennis, golf and vino
tour of Portugal.
The Wanderers goals came from a looping header from Robin Trinder who latched onto Alan Day's demon touch forward from David Tom's goal kick. |

 |
||
| Robin
celebrated with wonderful premiership style somersault!
In the second half, another assist from Alan saw Stevie Smith catch the ball 20 yards out, turn and blast it into the right hand corner beyond the grasp of the Beacon goalie! |

 |
||
|
It's a Goal |
||
 |
||
|
Best Result Ever |
||
| David Tom said "This is our best result ever!" and Wanderers tour leader and captain Colin Robinson was delighted that the singing afterwards " 2-nil to the Wanderers" led to some glum expressions on the previously party faces of the Buckinghamshire boys! | ||
 |
||
|
Cookham's goalie - Paddy King made some fine saves |

What a Save |

and couldn't resist attributing
Cookham's victory "The fact Beacon Dynamos stayed out til 4
am the night before and we were tucked up in bed by 3 had effect
at all! The sardines and vino verde helped a bit but frankly we
won because it was our turn. After 8 international tours it's time
we came home with something to show our friends and
families!"
The Cookham Wanderers will be
signing autographs at the Trinity Festival and showing off
their bruises and their trophy this weekend
