Pre-Match Line-Up
The players and officials line up to be greeted by the Ryman League officials before the kick off of the 2011 Ryman League Cup - also known as the Championship Manager Cup.

Behind is the covered terrace at the northern end of the Imber Court ground which is home to Metropolitan Police FC. The buildings beyond are part of the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch training school - the pitch looked like some of the horses had been on it!

Imber Court
Entrance to the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch training school. A horsebox can be seen parked a little way down the road. The main training area for the horses is behind the buildings on the right. The sign on the righthand gate warns of young Police horses in training. The one on the left reminds that passes and warrant cards must be worn at all times, though whether that applies to the horses is not clear.

Taking The Lead
David Laird's placed shot defeats the dive of Dulwich Hamlet's James Dunn. Leon Smith (9) had outpaced the Dulwich number 6 to the byeline before passing the ball back across the area to his strike partner, creating the goal. Wingate & Finchley would score another in the second half to win the Ryman League Cup (Championship Manager Cup) final 2-0. Their first silverware for 16 long years!
