EUREKA FIND IT!

 
  AFC Royals started the 2008 Sunday Intermediate Cup Final strongly, taking a 6th minute lead when Robert Boyd converted from six yards a cross from the left. Their advantage was lost five minutes later, however, when a low 20-yard free kick by Justin Cummins found the back of the net to give Eureka an equaliser.

The game then turned into something of a stalemate. Even though Eureka gradually began to take control as the second half progressed, they only looked like scoring on a couple of occasions: when the ball did eventually cross the line, an offside decision kept the score at one apiece.

The deadlock was finally broken in the fourth minute of extra time, when Chris Hubbard broke down the left and produced a quality finish to put AFC Royals 2-1 ahead against the run of play. Once again, however, their lead was short lived as, three minutes later, Eureka substitute Alex Bramble picked up a loose clearance on the left of the penalty area and curled home a right-footed shot.

Two minutes after half time of extra time, another Eureka substitute, Louis Fazackerly, twice blocked defensive clearances and took advantage as the ball rebounded kindly into space in front of him, knocking it home to give his club the lead for the first time. This seemed to cause AFC Royals to lose their discipline, with Boyd being sent off for receiving a second yellow card and Brian Hall following him for a straight red card. Although the remaining nine players did not give up and although there was the unusual occurrence of a long throw in by AFC Royals entering the net without anyone else having touched it, they could not retrieve the situation and Eureka lifted the Cup for the first time in the club’s 37 year history.
