Attitude Wins Trophies – Lizards Crowned Bowden AFC Easter Cup Champions!![]()
The Bowden AFC Easter Cup didn’t start like champions for us. The first game was tough defensively, but it turned out to be the wake-up call we needed.
After that, everything clicked.
Every single player stepped up. It wasn’t about individuals — it was a full team effort. The attitude made the difference. The boys bounced back, stayed together, and showed real character.
They battled all day, finished top 2 in the group, and earned a place in the Champions League final.
The final was a defensive masterclass — disciplined, strong, and fearless in a physical game. A proper team performance.
Bringing the trophy home over Easter made it even better.
Both coaches are proud to work with this group — seeing their growth is what it’s all about. Thanks for all the support as always.
Player of the tournament: Archie O’Connor. Stepped in as keeper and saved three penalties in the final — unreal.
Proud of every one of you.
We go again Wednesday in the Greater Manchester Cup — same attitude, same energy.

Match Report:
Boothstown Devils U12's Vs Old Rivingtonians
5-0![]()
Although the second half slowed into game management and perhaps a little fatigue, the first half was one the best team performances we have seen for a while, everyone was ready, everyone was reading the game in attack and defence, and they were working really well together all over the pitch. They managed the game really well on a strange pitch with a drop off on our side that was steeper than Old Trafford's.![]()
Special mentions to the MOTMs today:
- Parents' MOTM - Fletcher - a defensive understanding beyond his years, reading the game position and space knowing when to pounce and when to dribble with his quick feet.
- Coaches' MOTM - Oliver (Hilton) - first game back from injury like he had never left, enjoying the battles with a cheeky smile on his face, not just in defence - causing some damage on the left wing when he settled into the different position demands.
- Players' MOTM - Luca (Matthews) - working really well with the central midfielders and defenders when in the wings, and when he moved into central midfield there were some awesome attacking passes and through-balls creating chances.![]()
Some well taken and poachers goals today, with a well-deserved hat-trick from Norton. You can all be super proud of the boys today, we definitely are! ![]()
