Final Tie
Coventry Empire FC 3 - 2 Trent Valley FC

On a sunny afternoon at Liberty Way Trent Valley and Coventry Empire both competing in the Final for the first time battled it out for the Jewson sponsored Stockingford Charity Cup.

It was Coventry Empire who came out flying and deservedly took the lead on 12mins when Reece Snape headed in from a corner, that then became 2-0 on 20 mins when Ryhs Deehan scored from outside the box. Trent Valley responded and got back in the game on 30 mins when Jack Shillcock scored from a mistake from the Coventry Empire goalkeeper scoring from close range. 

Coventry Empire dominating possession made it 3-1 on 38 mins when Reece Snape scored his second of the game from close range. The second half was more even with both sides cancelling each other out but Trent Valley then made it a nervy last few minutes when Cole Burchill pulled one back. Coventry Empire stood strong and lifted the trophy for the first time. Credit to both teams for an excellent final and a very successful season for both clubs. 

It looks like we will be donating over £1,000 to the Lily Mae Foundation.
