Final win is last action of Norfolk Christian football season  

The final title of the Norfolk Christian Football League’s 2818-19 season was decided last Saturday when Stoke United’s Under 14s won a seven-goal thriller in the Plate knock-out final reports Alan Barnes.

The final between Lighthouse FC and Stoke United took place at the FDC Open on May 11 and Lighthouse had the early breaks with goals from Ben Smith, 10 minutes, and Isaac Palmer, 20 minutes, putting them 2-0 ahead. Stoke gained a lifeline before half-time when Henry Fagan reduces the deficit.
 
Stoke came out ready to attack in the second half and equalised through George Riches after three minutes. Further goals from Henry Fagan and Finley Williams put them in control of the match. However, a late Lighthouse goal from Jude Philpott ensured a tense final few minutes.

Stoke held on to win 4-3 in what was a well contested final.
