Sunbury Lose in Surrey Final of Cockspur Cup Some fifty Members turned out at Horsely and Send CC to urge on their fellow Members on the field of play to see the Club victorious in the Surrey Championship semi-final stage of the Cockspur Cup against Malden Wanderers before losing to a strong Wimbledon XI in the final. We wish Wimbledon well for the forthcoming area, regional and national stages.
The Cockspur squad ably led by Kevin Smith had played well throughout
the competition with support from a wide range of Members. Disappointing
though the outcome was in the Final, being Surrey runners up is no mean
achievement and is a credit to Kevin and to all those concerned.
