Boro win Premier League All Stars
Middlesbrough have tonight won the Premier League All Stars 2-1 against West Ham. The competition has be running all week in the David Beckham academy arena in London and has been a huge success. Tickets were free for every night of action and the arena had bumper crowds almost every night. The teams were made up of four legends, three celebrities and three fans. Each half lasted fifteen minutes in the final with the last of each of the fifteen minutes being power plays, which meant goals counted double.
Boro won 100,000 pounds for their chosen charities after they came from behind against the Hammers. Famous actor, Geoff Bell put the Hammers in front with a splendid finish after some neat play by Tony Cottee. Craig Higgnet got Boro back in the game when he scored after an unfortunate error by the Hammers keeper. Alaistar Griffin finished the game with a goal in the final power play to send the Boro fans home happy and hand Boro the first ever Premier League All Stars shield.

fantastic event im sure it will run for years & i really got into it, glad to see my team whu get to the final. One thing that spoiled it for me was the little fat kid in the boro shirt who threw the ball at the west ham player when he was taking a corner, he fumbled the cross and boro scored from the resulting attack, did no one else notice this, as im positive the hammers players were furious as they took it very serious.
