Captain Fantastic (for a day!) Thom Perrett proudly displaying his side's Semi-finalists' shield following a battling performance in a tournament run that pitted the yella army against clubs with much greater resources.

With 2x bare bones squads and no subs, the CapCans were always going to struggle to make it all the way, however the day left us with some fantastic memories - Norwich 'Bs' even made it to the quarters, with 2 thrilling wins 3-2 & 4-1 goal-fests undeniably expunging last year's dismal performance when only 1 goal was scored in 4 games and exiting in the qualifiers.

The memory of the day however must be the victory over Glasgow Rangers (for only the 2nd time in the clubs history, the first occuring about an hour earlier in the above 4-1 drubbing) in a thrilling penalty shoot-out. Nick Denys (keeper) hurled himself low and right to deny the 'Gers top spot-kicker for the first time ever - allegedly - in his entire footballing career. But for a real captain's performance, Enjoy perrett's text-book 'pen' again and again and again .. below.

Well done chaps!
