VICTORIA 2000 and Carters will meet in the final of the Newbridge Garage Sunday cup.

Both teams left it late to win their semi-final games with Victoria snatching a last minute winner, and Carters took their match to penalties before securing their place in the final.

Victoria took the lead through Darren Holmes before conceding a penalty before half time. In a close second half both sides had chances before Colin Webb broke away in the last minute and supplied the cross for Robb Dunn to tap in.

Carters finally beat Windhill New Inn 4-3 on sudden death penalties after drawing 2-2 in 90 minutes.

In the Premier Division Sandy Lane made it 12 wins in succession by beating Boltmakers 5-1. Bolts took the lead through a Cameron Farnell penalty, but Ford Coates equalised before the break.

In the second half Boltmakers had their keeper sent off and Sandy Lane took control with two penalties, one of which was scored by Tony Walker - his first ever goal - with Dave Strathie (2) and Richard Hibbert scoring the others.

Stoney Lane went level with Victoria 2000 at the top of the First Division after beating Broadford Plant 1-0 in a scrappy game. Paul Gough scored in the first half to secure three vital points for his team.
