Bowers triumphed 3-2 on spot-kicks after the two Essex teams were locked level at 1-1 after 120 minutes. And Bowers’ player of the year Geofrey Okonkwo could not contain his delight at the final whistle. “Promotion was our goal at the start of the season, many wrote us off but we stuck together throughout. “We had so many ups and downs this season and that just makes this promotion feel 10 times better.”But Vaivada admitted Bowers were made to work hard for Saturday’s win. And Vaivada feels the team's togetherness has played a huge part in the success achieved this season.
