Despite a few blips in the group stages of this years competition,MSR turned on the style on Finals Night to win the all new 7 a side Carlton Cup for the 2nd year on the bounce.

The night started with a cracking contest between Burton Joyce and Misfits with Misfits winning 2-1 with less than a minute to go but the game was turned on it's head with Burton Joyce claiming an equaliser at the death and then winning the Penalty Shootout 3-2.

MSR eased passed Mighty Ducks with Daniel Fletcher outstanding for Carlton Town's major sponsors.So for the final with Burton Joyce who had beaten MSR in the group stage taking an early lead through the impressive Ryan Marsh but MSR stepped up their game and went into the interval 2-1 up after some fine passing interplay.With the game in the balance,that man Fletch came into the forfront and with Wheldon,Ball and Gent providing an awesome combination in the middle and Hickling holding the ball well up front,MSR put together some fine finishing and passing to romp home 8-1.

A special mention for young Joel who came in at the back and Matt Pepperday who dropped back to cover Andy and Chris May who were away,they did a fine job for the holders and credit must also go to Burton Joyce who have been a credit to this competition and played some cracking football throughout.

The Garton/White management combination can be well pleased with their teams efforts and particually with the Finals Night Starman Daniel Fletcher,goals,tackles,running and control,he had it all and his talent stood out in what has been a first class Tournament at Carlton Town FC.

There were 4 thrilling Quarter Finals on Quarter Final Sunday with 2 games going to penalty's as the Carlton Cup reached it's final stages.

Burton Joyce played out a thriller with Gedling United who have got stronger as the Tournament progressed and came out 5-4 winners to set the tone for the day.A tight contest followed between the Mighty Ducks and Bag of Chips and it finished all square at 1-1 but the Ducks kept their nerve to win 3-2 on penaltys.

The next game also went to penaltys after Misfits and Caythorpe shared the spoils,2-2  this time but the Misfits came in winners 4-3 on spotkicks.

Cup Holders MSR looked like going out when they went 2-0 down to Pat FC but a great save from Keeper Danny Wardle and a fine move well finished by Andy May put them back in the frame and they upped their game in the 2nd half to run out 6-3 winners.

Finals night is all set for Wednesday 15th July and Mark Steggles has confirmed that MSR Newsgroup will take on Mighty Ducks and Misfits will play Burton Joyce in the Semi Finals with the winners playing in the final afterwards.
