Gary wilson flicks ball away

Punjab United 0 Cold Ashby Rovers 1

HT 0-0

Punjab were beaten by Cold Ashby in the Divisional Cup Final with a penalty in the last 20 minutes.

Cold Ashby were using a 30 to 40 yard throw-in to the advantage but the Punjab rearguard did well to hold it at bay.

When Cold Ashby scored Punjab knew they had to chase the game with up to 7 chances squandered by them.

A late penalty claim was waved away for Punjab and the Cold Ashby goalkeeper produced some wonderful saves.

All in all a great experience of the Cup Final Day that started at 2pm at Telford Lodge and finished at Jun Aksu's house at 6am Friday morning.
