Bayswater Back to Back Cup Wins

Today was the 2014 Football West Coolridge Cup Final played between defending winners Bayswater City and Stirling Lions at Macedonia Park in a cool but then blustery and wet conditions.
Anthem was played and formalities took place and then it was ready for the final. Bayswater were in control of the game from start to finish with two early goals in the first half with the men from Frank Drago failing to capitalise on some open scoring opportunities. Stirling had a few chances late in the game but they were not many and just failed to get clear shots on goal being shut down on the edge of the box.

Bayswater ending up 2-0 winners and as a result winning back to back state cup finals, well done Bayswater.

Food was a bit of an issue here at Macedonia Park due to being a cup final and well I think the grounds are not truly prepared for the amount who come and watch. On average there was about a 30 minute wait so i didn't end up getting food. No olives or feta by the bar as it got devoured by the fans and were not replenished which was a shame but it was rather busy so these things fell off the radar.

Selection of drinks were always in plentiful supply and had Beez Neez for 9 dollars but for a 440 ml can of Canadian Club & Dry for 10 dollars i switched to those instead for a change.

Must give a plug to the Mighty Quinn as I decided to go there after the match for a meal. Bangers and Mash for 19 dollars was on the money and the serving was good, incredibly delicious and a fantastic venue inside. You wouldn't know it was by looking at the outside!

Well another cup final has been put to bed and now the rest of the NPLWAU is now the focus of Stirling and Bayswater. Macedonia Park is always a great venue to watch some good football.
