WHEN Crediton Youth Under 9’s Cobras and Vipers took to the field at Tiverton Town FC to take part in the Exeter and District Youth League Cup Final, it showed just how far the club has progressed over the past few seasons.

With not much between the two sides it was always going to be a close game.

Lucas Verrier, with an early goal, put the Cobras in front. The game flowed from end-to-end with some fine saves from both goalkeepers, kept the scoreline at 1-0, before Seb Roche, with a fine effort, brought the scores level just before half-time.

The second half was again end-to-end stuff, and only some superb defending from both sides kept the score at one each.

Just as it looked as if the half would finish all square Seb Roche grabbed his second goal of the game to give Vipers victory.

Both sides should be so proud of the part they played in an exciting final. Special thanks must go to the EDYL officials and Tiverton Town FC for putting on such a great finals weekend.
