 Lee Morland (r) saved a last minute penalty Dial-a-Cab's sensational footballers started the new season in the same
scintillating manner as they had finished the old season. Following last
year's second place in the league just behind CWB - even though we were
defeated only twice all season - Dial-a-Cab qualified for the Champions
League Cup, which consisted of the top two teams of all four leagues. |

where they
finished undefeated. But that record fell against mighty DaC who took the match 5-4 in a thrilling, topsy-turvy encounter. In the semi-final, we had to face the team who had pipped us to the league championship last season after taking the title without losing a match, CWB. This time the smell of revenge was in the air and Dial-a-Cab made no mistake, running out winners by 8-4. And so to the Champions Cup Final and Kleinwort Rangers. Bearing in mind that Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein have returned to Dial-a-Cab as clients, our boys had to be on their top form as well as being the ultimate diplomats! Kleinwort quickly took the lead |
and within minutes had doubled the lead to 2-0. Then DaC started to
push the ball around and within nine incredible minutes, had scored four
times! But Kleinwort were pressing hard and their centre forward scored an
individual goal of great skill bringing the game back to 4-3 and putting
the result into the balance. Then with little time left, Kleinwort were awarded a disputed penalty. The suspense was electric. DaC's experienced goalkeeper/dispatcher Lee Morland prowled the line as the Kleinwort captain stepped up to take the penalty. Lee guessed right, making the save and giving Dial-a-Cab the Champions Cup for 2001. Well done lads... |
