MB Sand & Surf BU10 Clinched the "Bronze West" title in thrilling style last weekend at Dorsey Field in Manhattan Beach. Facing the talented South Bay Falcon's team who entered the game just one point off the lead, it really was a winner takes all clash with the victorious team claiming the spoils in the title race.

A well fought first half so the team's delicately balanced at 0-0, with chances coming at a premium. The second half exploded into life when Sand & Surf's Michael Maloney gave the reds a 1-0 lead with an expertly placed penalty kick into the roof of the net. The Falcon's, understanding the importance of the game, committed bodies forward and were rewarded by an outstanding goal from their own number 10. Who hit a half volley into the top corner from some 20 yards out giving the Sand & Surf goalkeeper no chance!

With the clock ticking down, both teams fought desperately to win the game outright and with about 7 minutes still on the clock Dylan Bartlett pounced on a defensive mistake, to break clear through on goal, before cooly dispatching the ball into the waiting goal!

The final whistle brought a huge cheer at Dorsey Field as the BU10 team celebrated it's first league success.

Well done to all of the boys and their families on a terrific finish to a fine season!
