Their tactics were similar to Brighton’s and their defence was the toughest Chi had faced all season – but the boys from Oaklands Park still won 2-0.
Head coach Walter Womersley said: “Our squad has developed tremendously and we should be very proud of all our players this season.”
Player of the tournament was chosen by the captain, Jakey Wood, and it was Rory Minton.
