The boys' team from the Dunstable College Football Development Programme has won the SESSA Cup 2006. SESSA is the Southern England Students' Sports Association and the boys came away as the Soccer Intermediate Plate Winners 2005-6.The final against West Herts College took place at the Ford Training Ground in Essex on Wednesday 26 April. The boys did not play particularly well at the beginning of the first half, but started to get together before half-time; however, they were unfortunate to go into half-time 1:0 down. They came out in the second half a much better, more controlled team and eventually managed to grab an equalising goal from Terry Billy. Towards the end of the half, the Dunstable boys were playing good football and seemed in control and were lucky to get a penalty 5 minutes from time. Phil Feakes mis-kicked the ball and it went wide. It was a nervous last few minutes to the final whistle. The final result then went to penalties.
The first penalty was taken by Phil Feakes who put this one in the net, the following goals were scored evenly with the opposition. Niall Lynch, Danny Howson and Gary Catlin all scored from the spot. Gary then went on to save a penalty from West Herts and the final kick was left to Ryan Mulford, who was playing his first match of the season due to a bad back injury. Nervously he took the kick, which was spot on target which allowed the boys to triumphantly collect the well deserved trophy.
