The first of the two sides competing for the trophy is the home side, FC Viking. They currently compete in the Central & South Norfolk League Division two. Their opponents are Northwold, who also compete in the Central & South Norfolk League, Division two. The last time these two sides met was in the Stephen Boddy Primary League Cup earlier in the season where Northwold ran out 4-1 winners.
FC Viking have made their way through to the final with a variety of wins including a nine-goal thriller against UEA FC in the third round, two penalty shoot-out victories, as well as a comprehensive 4-0 win against Poringland Wanderers FC in the semi-final. Their league form sees them sitting 4th in the table.
Northwold have had a more straightforward route through to the final, scoring 33 goals in 5 games. They currently sit 5th in the table, one place behind FC Viking, with 3 games in hand. It promises to be a hotly contested final!
The third team on show for the spectacle will of course be the match officials. They, like the teams have also earned the right to be here, and I would like to extend my congratulations to them on their selection. I wish them every success in what I hope will be a memorable occasion for all involved. The Referee is Craig Guy, Assistant Referees are Julian Driver & Kevin Wingfield with Fourth Official as Mark Riches.
