Arthurian League 2 - 1 Latvia Amateur

Goals from Craig Bonnar and Sam Thomas gave the Arthurian League a winning end to their UEFA Regions Cup campaign in Finland, today.

The team bow out of the tournament, finishing 2nd in the group after Länsi-Vantaan Ylpeys (which translates as 'Pride of West Vantaa') overcame the Lisbon FA 2-0 to win the group and progress to the final tournament, and the Arthurians were already out of contention as they needed a win by 4 goals or more to stand a chance of nicking top spot, but the result shows that the team were in the mix, holding the two favourites from Finland and Portugal to creditable draws.

Bonnar opened the scoring after fifteen minutes, converting Jake Raine's assist following a Harry Larke corner but Dāniels Geidāns levelled for Latvia just before the break. The AL's excellence at set-pieces shone through again in the second half when Andy Evans' free-kick was turned home by Sam Thomas for the winning goal.
