The Saxton Rover captain makes peace with the referee after an altercation. Saxton Rovers were playing AFC Wallingford in the North Berks Cup Final, a game that Saxton Rovers dominated and won 1-0.
Here he is again receiving the cup for the second year running. They have also dominated the league for the second year running – winning all but one game which they drew.
Abingdon United Manager, Andy Slater, was clapped off the field by his team after the last game of the season against Yate Town…
Andy Slater was kitted out as number 17 in order to make a brief appearance.
I spoke to the Abingdon Herald photographer before the game to get some tips. He said the goals are not always the best thing. It is the aggro and attitude and drama you need to capture. In this first picture I unfortunately just missed the Yate Town player kicking the ball directly at the referee after a contested penalty award.
Abingdon United scored their one goal from the penalty spot. Unfortunately Yate Town scored two.
So even though Andy Slater did not win this one, he has had a successful 7 years in charge during which time the club rose to win promotion from the Hellenic League, and have consolidated their place in the Southern League.
