On Saturday the 1st XI played in their second consecutive White Cup final in Kent. After some battling performances to get there and a long coach drive to Herne Bay the team found themselves 2-0 down in just 5 minutes. But once again they battled back, Harry forcing the keeper into some saves and going close multiple times. George then headed in from a corner to half the deficit. Josh then made some excellent saves to keep it 2-1 going into half time. The pattern continued into the second half, Judd mostly on top but Maidstone countering. Stan was denied a well worked goal by an excellent save by their keeper before Maidstone scored from a corner of their own. Once again the 1st XI didn't lie down, and with 4 minutes to go Toba bundled one in to make it a grandstand finish. As Judd threw men forward in pursuit of an equaliser Maidstone broke and scored with pretty much the last kick to run out 4-2 victors.

A brave effort from those involved. Thank you to all who came and supported it really was appreciated! And a thank you to all the Year 13s who played and have played throughout the years. They have embodied the rise of football at Judd since it was introduced back in Year 7.
