Charles Twelftree Trophy Final

BURGHFIELD were crowned as the Berks & Bucks FA Charles Twelftree Trophy winners after they defeated Maidenhead Town in the final.

The Fielders broke through in the ninth minute when Sam Guze got on the end of Matt Symington’s pass and slotted past the keeper.

With a little over 10 minutes left to play, Burghfield had one hand on the trophy when they doubled their money through Tom McClellan who fired into the top corner to make it 2-0.

That’s how the score ended as Burghfield got their hands on the trophy.
