The last major cup final for the London APSA youth team boys ended on a high as they beat Juva Youth 5-2 to lift the MJA Trophy at the Old Spotted Dog Ground, Forest Gate.

Although the scoreline seemed one sided it was a very tense game for both sides from start to finish.

APSA however broke the deadlock after Tanbir Ahmed's cross was met by Faez Kashem who headed it in to make it 1-0. Minutes later after a Juva corner APSA were on the counter attack and after a quick succession of passes Akram Miah found the back of the net with his powerful left footed strike that left the Juva keeper with no chance,

However on the stroke of half time Juva managed to pull a goal back when the APSA players let the ball run to a Juva striker who took full advantage and made the scoreline 2-1.

As the second half started both teams had belief of winning the game, however it was London APSA who showed more hunger and determination to win the game, their fluid passing combinations were no match for Juva and they got a third after Shafiiq Shipkoylee played a sweet ball into the 18 yard box which was met by Akram Miah who finished it off and made it 3-1 to APSA.

At this moment London APSA were in full control of the game and got 2 more goals through Tanbir Ahmed and Faez Kashem. As the final whistle blew, APSA boys were joyous in celebration as this was another final they had to work very hard to win.

Manager Hafiz Ahmed commented on the game saying 'Was a great game of football, 5-2 winners on the night but it was a really tough game, especially when it came to breaking down Juva's back four, we switched to 4-4-2 in the second half and I think that was the game changer as we attacked every time we got the ball, Switching Shafiiq from right back to right wing payed off as he was working hard to feed the balls into our strikers, man of the match performance from him'.

Second Place APSA Finish Leaague

The London APSA U12s were very unfortunate to lose their first Saturday league title together as a team by a single point. The were up against East London Soccer School as the race for the title went on, APSA forfeited a game as most boys had a school cup final that day, this obviously was they key reason in losing the league as if they played and won that fixture they would of won the league.

However a lot of positives had to be taken out of this campaign as it was the first time the boys played outside of an Asian League and showed to other teams from outside Tower Hamlets what they are capable of doing, and not to mention star striker Kamran who got scouted for the Crystal Palace Academy.

London APSA 2-1 Newham Warriors 

The Last pre-season match and what a match it was, played at Wanstead Flats, the game kicked off with APSA dominating possesion in the first half, creating several chances but could not find the back of the net. At half time it was 0-0

. As the second half kicked off both teams done their at most best to get a goal but it was the APSA boys who got the breakthrough when Kamran Uddin's free kick from just outside the edge of the 18 yard box went straight through the keepers legs. It was a memorable goal for the youngster as he went to celebrate with his team mates. The frustrated Newham Warriors players kept their game and piled the pressure onto APSA, but great recovery runs from our wingers Faez and Arram kept them out. It was just 2 minutes left on the clock and the Warriors came back to make it 1-1 after the APSA defence failed to clear the ball. With just under 30 seconds remaining APSA get a corner which was taken by Kamran and in came Akram with a thumping header which went straight to the back of the net to make it 2-1 and there was the final whistle.

Although the boys played against boys who were a year older then them they showed how their hard work determination and hunger is second to none and that is what made them go home victorious.
