Two local senior clubs had their bank accounts boosted to the tune of thousands of pounds as reward for one of the most successful ever FansFocus.Com Essex Senior Cup Finals when Southend United narrowly defeated Chelmsford City at Roots Hall on 1st April.
The Board of Directors at Chelmsford were delighted to receive £3,750 towards club coffers at their Melbourne home recently, consisting of £3,000 worth of gate receipts from the showpiece and £750 prize money for finishing as runners-up.
First Team Shrimpers Manager Steve Tilson, meanwhile, took hold of Southend’s equivalent £4,000 cheque as winners of the competition.
United claimed the silverware in front of 2,995 enthralled spectators, with Hungarian defender Zoltan Liptak’s solitary close-range strike on 27 minutes meaning the side picked-up their first Senior Cup in eleven years. Essex County Football Association Chief Executive, Phil Sammons, was thrilled to be able to contribute such large sums to the finalists, which were unprecedented figures in recent competition history.
