Glenthorne United boss David Blitz is predicting a bright future for his side as they finished off a dramatic season for the club by grabbing a last-minute equaliser to keep alive their promotion hopes against rivals UJS Norstar B.

Facing a five-way tussle to go up from the JC MSFL Division Four, it looked like a season which has seen Glenthorne’s A team fold from the Premier League, would end in defeat for Blitz’s men, after an 82nd minute strike by Nick Benson put UJS Norstar B ahead.

But a brilliant Jamie Lawrence curler – shortly after a five-minute delay for a dislocated shoulder sustained by David Blackman – helped the Thornes keep alive their promotion challenge.

“We kept going to the end and it paid off,” said Blitz who believes that his side, which contains former A team player Dan Lipman, will re-build the club’s reputation – whether they are in Division Three or Four next year.
