Two Southend Junior League sides enjoyed vastly different fortunes in Essex cup finals. In the Under-14 County Andrews Cup, Shoebury-based Blackgate Gunners triumphed 3-2 over Grasshoppers after extra-time, thanks to goals from Woolf, Barton and White. However, in the Under-15 Rosser Trophy, Southend's brave Ekco Whitecaps, drawing 1-1 with Ferns after extra-time, were beaten 4-3 on penalties. In the Under-13 A Division, Danny Coulson was up to his super scoring feats again for champions Shoebury Boys. He netted eight in the 9-1 win over Hullbridge Sports to take his tally for the season to 129. Canvey's Northwick Boys boast some of the meanest defenders in the game in the Under-12 C Division. They have won the championship with a 100 per cent record and have conceded only eight goals in the process. Fairfax Rangers 2nd are runners-up, completing a great season for the club as their first team have taken the Premier crown with Ekco Whitecaps second. Kingdown Rangers take the A Division title from Leigh Ramblers.

We are the champions - that is the happy cry from Shoebury Boys under-10 side, who have won the Southend Junior League B Division title under the sponsorship of Sanders Stores
