In my teens I remember being at York Street and seeing us win the Eastern Professional Floodlight Competition after a penalty shoot out. On checking I found it was on Wednesday 10 May 1972 against Romford. We had drawn both legs of the final 0-0 and won the shoot-out 3-1.
The EPFC was a midweek competition and included teams such as Cambridge Utd, Cambridge City, Chelmsford City, Stevenage, Kings Lynn & Brentwood Town to name some I remember. United often used to field teams that were less than full strength. Squad members on the fringe of the first team and some Reserves frequently got a game.
