FC Hulland made Coach Rangers work hard during the first half which ended with Coach leading 3-2. It was a different story in the second half as Coach showed why they are chasing for the title but hitting five goals without reply.

Summer League's 2010 Bill Redfern Memorial Cup Final was a thrilling encounter between two sides who really wanted to win. Holly Bush took command with two early goals both netted by Brent Freeman in the 11th and 12th minutes. Richard Smith pulled a goal back in the 28th minute and a spectacular own goal from Simon Thorniwell got Coach back on level terms. Neither side could find a winner in the remaining hour so the Final went to extra time. Neil Bennett converted a 94th minute penalty to put Holly Bush back in front but Coach showed great spirit to equalise again through Jimmy Carter. Still level at full time, the game was decided by penalties and Holly Bush won the shoot-out 4-2.

Second-placed Coach Rangers eased to a comfortable victory against lowly Kirk Langley, who played most of the second half with ten men after losing a player through injury.

On a warm and sunny evening, Coach scored twice during the first half and wrapped up the win with three more after the interval.

All in all, a really enjoyable evening and, for the first time, an Ashbourne Summer League 'champagne job'!

Originally I was heading for Coach Rangers until a text message persuaded me to re-route to Mappleton Playing Field instead. Wheel Inn began this Summer League game with ten men and conceded the opening goal after just 27 seconds. Their eleventh man soon took the field but Bradley were 7-0 up by the 22nd minute.
