On April 18, five winners of the Danny Fullbrook Fearless Journalism competition were asked to write up a match report on the Brentford v Bolton Wanderers match.
There were some very impressive entries, but the Fearless Foundation chose Joseph Brooks from St Joseph’s Primary School in Hanwell as their overall winner.
His prize is a good one too – Joseph will attend the 2015 FA Community Shield match at Wembley before the beginning of next season.
And we hope he will write up another brilliant match report of that game.
Here is Joseph’s winning entry:
On Saturday 18th April, 11,874 spectators filled Griffin Park with barely a seat unused.
It was Junior Club Day 2015!
However, the Bees' dreams of playing in the Premiership may be gradually drifting away as they themselves were stung twice, with Bolton equalising in each half of the match for a 2-2 draw.
Brentford still climbed from 8th to 7th place in the table with just two matches to play, as the Wanderers remained 17th.
The opening ten minutes saw Heskey squander a glorious opportunity that would have given Bolton a wonderful start.
On the 31st minute the crowd remembered, with a minute's applause, James Pettifer, 31, a lifelong Brentford fan who had died suddenly the day before.
Brentford then took the lead on the counterattack with Judge passing to Pritchard, who hammered the ball into the back of the net.
This goal really brought the game to life with another two goals in the next seven minutes.
Heskey played a through ball to Le Fondre, who tapped it into the bottom right corner but Brentford kept pushing forward and their efforts paid off with a header by Douglas three minutes before the end of the first half, making it 2-1 to the home side.
There was a buzz around the Bees' stadium at half time - children in their home strips, photos being taken on the pitch and the opposition fans cheering to give their team a boost.
Bolton started the second half in a more determined way and they earned their reward following a horrible mix-up by the Brentford defence, which had been very strong throughout.
It gave Bolton the gift of a tap-in to make it 2-2.
Both teams kept attacking to score the winner and Brentford had an outstanding chance to claim victory right at the end but Bolton keeper, Bogdan, who will be offered a new contract with the Trotters for next season, made a good save to keep the visitors in the match.
After the game, the Bolton manager spoke of his pride for his team: "I'm delighted with my team. It's not easy coming here but we did our best and, for me, still finished as the stronger team."
Speaking about Brentford's chances of reaching the Championship play-offs, their manager, Mark Warburton, who will leave the Club at the end of this season, remained confident: "78 points may well be enough. It's a big big figure to say you're not going to get the play-off."
So the Bees will have to look to winning their next two games and their supporters, old and young, who cheered their team along under a cloudless blue sky in West London, will have to wait to see if their team can achieve their dream.
