Haddenham United ended their season on Thursday 7th May 2009 with a 6-0 away defeat at the hands of Downley Albion in ADL Division 1.
Downley, in second place in the league table, were always too much for Haddenham to compete with, and the 6-0 scoreline accurately highlighted the difference between the sides. First Team Manager Mike Rea was full of praise for the opposition, "They are a good footballing side who play the game the right way, and they deserved to win tonight."
However, Rea was also full of praise for his own side, "We were up against it tonight with a difficult midweek away match against good opposition, but we tried to play our own game of good football and never gave up, which the opposition congratualted us on."
It was a shame for the season to end in defeat, but on reflection it has been a good season of rebuilding, with a new squad consisting mainly of young and enthusiastic players. |
