Castle Point youngsters picked up a stack of medals at the Southend Boys Junior Football League finals on Sunday. Five teams from the area were involved with two winners and three losers.
The Under-15 final saw Concord Rangers beating Benfleet Amateurs 3-2, all the goals coming in the first half.
The other winners were Hills and Kings in the Under-10 final against Whitmore Rangers. Both sides scored twice and when extra time failed to find a winner, Hills and Kings won on penalties.
Benfleet Boys suffered defeat when their Under-9 team was beaten 2-0 by Southend Manor and Hills and Kings Under -13 side were beaten 7-0 by Priory Athletic in their final.

I was born in Benfleet in 1971 and only moved away to Southend in 1986. As a youngster I played football for Benfleet juniors and this afternoon found an old badge in my loft, (see photo above). This was from the year 1980 I believe.
The team was a Sunday junior football team and consisted of players from Kents Hill juniors, South Benfleet juniors and Jotmans.
Should be Clayton Brewster and Clayton Jones not Clapton sorry.
