The final, played at Newton Abbot, saw Tivvy field a handful of youngsters and took a 25th minute lead through skipper for the night, Niall Thompson, whose 25-yard effort went in off a post.
Three minutes later, the Yellows went two-up when Louis Morison spotted Rovers` keeper George Burton off his line and chipped him from the halfway line!
Tiverton held their 2-0 lead until half-time, but 10 minutes after the restart, Willand got themselves back into the game when a defensive error allowed Jack Rice to finish well.
Then, on 74 minutes, Tiverton’s 16-year-old keeper Ollie Saunders produced a stunning save to prevent Rice from equalising.
But 5 minutes into stoppage time, Willand were awarded a penalty for a foul on Rice. However, Doug Camilo’s spot-kick was superbly saved by young Saunders and the trophy was Tiverton’s.
