Three in a row for Duke


22/ 5/2008

IT’S becoming more difficult to understand how a team, who cannot win their divisional championship, can beat Heywood Reform, a team widely regarded as the best in the Bury and District SFL and unbeaten champions of the premiership. But it has happened three times.

Last season, Duke of Wellington were 1-0 winners of the Presdent’s Trophy and earlier this year they grabbed the Millenium Cup off holders Reform. Last Sunday they nicked the Challenge Cup 2-1.

   The writer of this piece ignores the true story. Last time the Duke beat the Reform he chose to rewrite what happened, how a 4-1 loss can be described as unlucky is anyones guess. The Reform players knew what happened that day and in effect that was why they lost again in this game. Once the Duke equalised there was only going to be one winner as the minds of the Reform crumbled. The articles writer choses to ignore a penalty appeal from the Duke for hand ball and several chances they had to score through the game whilst celebrating the Reforms missed opportunities but these are merely views. What matters is results and once again, 3 times now, the Duke take the trophy home.
Duke of Earl, Middleton
