SALAMINA WIN THE AUBREY CUP FINAL !

Our first Cup Final in Saturday football, was the Prestigous Aubrey Cup Final. Our opponents today were giant killers Oxhey Jets Reserves. We were going to be in for a tough match.

The boys were determined to win for our Chairman Kyri Spyri who is extremely ill and watching from his bed via the live feed of Hellenic TV.

The first half was a game of posturing and a great deal of closing down space, not letting each other play. Salamina had the lion share of the chances. Richard Georgiou shooting wide from close range. A great volley from George Lutaaya just went over and a Ryan Hervel free kick was easily saved. The bumpy pitch did not allow for flowing football and Salamina's rhythm lacking.

To the shock of the large crowd Oxhey Jets took the lead in the 39th minute, a flowing breakaway found the impressive left winger who expertly fired home for 1 - 0 to Oxhey. Salamina shaken and Oxhey were buoyed and pressurised the reds through to half time.

The second half saw two quick changes, Nicholas Kouroushi and Charlie Georgiou both brought on, and both had immediate impacts. Nicholas cool passing and Charlie's tenacity brought Salamina level. Charlie won the ball on the right and cleverly reversed passed to Leon Mckenzie who scored a great goal from just inside the penalty area 1 - 1.

Charlie continued to terrorise the Oxhey defence and won a penalty when he was felled in the area. Richard Georgiou stepped up and dispatched the penalty home for 1 - 2 and Salamina moved into the lead.

Oxhey were hard working and creating half chances but mostly kept at bay, by the impressive centre back duo of Andy Anastasiou and Marcus Rose.

The reds then had a further great chance to go further ahead, when Richard Georgiou was brought down in the area, but his spot kick went wide.

Oxhey piled on the pressure toward the end of the game, but Salamina stood strong and win the Aubrey Cup.
