Even though Woodstock had the number one Premier Division striker in its ranks (J. Wright # 8 - 16 goals), one got the feeling that the team in white - as St. Thomas did just a week earlier in the Premier Cup Final versus AEK - would have difficulty in scoring.  AEK ranked much higher than Woodstock in goals scored in the regular season and had allowed much fewer in terms of goals against.  In fact, in regular season play AEK only allowed 13 goals in 18 games while Woodstock allowed 32 goals in 18 games played.  Nevertheless in a single 90-minute period theoretically anything could happen.    With the opening whistle Woodstock came out strong, moving the ball up field fairly quickly and openly challenging AEK midfielders in their own zone.  This sudden spurt was not to last though, as subsequent to this AEK's very cohesive approach to the game had Woodstock looking outnumbered on almost each and every play.  AEK played as a unit while defending, and played as a unit while on offense as well.  And as usual, their keeper took on a vociferous and influential role in managing team responses to Woodstock thrusts.    Significant pressure was put on the Woodstock goal through the first half, and their keeper performed quite well until the 29 minute mark.  At this point in the game AEK's Paul Arnold #19 broke the scoreless tie.  He received a pass unopposed perhaps 10 metres to the right of the centre box boundary, travelled with the ball to that point, then let a hard, slightly curving left footed shot go that found the top left corner of the net.    The rest of the half remained scoreless with quality shots on net heavily favouring AEK.    With the opening of the second half Woodstock remained determined to compete and almost immediately the play got somewhat rougher.  Numerous infractions were called as Woodstock was forced to repeatedly defend their territory in the wake of nearly continuous AEK advances.    In perhaps two or three instances Woodstock strikers put serious pressure on the AEK goal, but somehow they just could not convert.  As the game wore on Woodstock began having difficulty in tackling and effectively clearing the ball up field.  This state of affairs continued roughly until the end of the game, when in the final minute AEK's # 12 Ahmad Birani beat his man near the centre entrance to the box and went in unopposed toward the goal, firing a rolling shot that found the bottom right corner of the net making it 2-0.    Moments later the final whistle blew, with AEK claiming not only the Premier Cup, but the League Cup Championship as well.  JHS
