AFTER finishing as runners-up twice in the last three years, Haddenham Rovers Colts under-11s A have been crowned as champions of the annual Cottenham five-a-side competition.

Rovers began their campaign with a goalless draw, but won all their remaining matches and conceded just one goal.

John Falconer top scored with six goals, Jake Bartolozzi hit three and Alex Lowe netted a brace to guide Rovers to the final.

Strikers Oliver Holden and Joe Snooks produced some excellent link play and Matthew Morton was a driving force in midfield as the entire squad played as a fantastic team unit.

Haddenham were always the better team in the final against the hosts. The only goal came just before half time when captain Alex Lowe's low drive gave them a deserved win.

Haddenham A: Richard Padmore, Joe Snooks, Jake Bartolozzi, Matthew Morton, Alex Lowe, Oliver Holden, John Falconer.
