Saturday 24 April 2021, Lawford Lads 3 Sudbury Sports 2 - School Lane, ESBL, Knock out Cup, 3rd Round
Maybe 69 miles from the old West Ham ground, but the village of Lawford, in rural essex, close to the Suffolk border has a link to West Ham. John Lyall the former West Ham manger lived close by when he managed Ipswich and when the pavilion was built it was named after the great man. In 2001 it was opened by another former Hammer in Trevor Brooking.
Today was cup game and Sudbury started favourites, a team linked to AFC Sudbury full of good young players. they soon took the lead but were a bit more fortunate with their second, and went in at the break, two nil up.
The second half, a breeze picked up and the home team went direct, and got one goal back then levelled from the penalty spot, with just 4 minutes left, Lawford bought a sub on who managed to get the winner with his first touch.
