Fratton Park
Pitching In Southern Football League Division One South club Moneyfields retained the Portsmouth Senior Cup after bating Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier side Baffins Milton Rovers on penalties at Portsmouth`s Fratton Park on Thursday night.
Under interim manager Louis Savage and his assistant Louis Bell, Moneys beat Rovers` league rivals Fareham Town in the semi-final last month and were given a stern test by the Step 5 outfit.
This was actually the much-delayed 2019/20 final, with Moneyfields having won the previous competition by hammering Paulsgrove 7-1 and then the global pandemic caused the competition to be halted.
Steve Hutchings
A good crowd of 831 saw Moneyfields take the lead 3 minutes before half-time through Steve Hutchings.
That looked like being enough to take the trophy. However, with virtually the last kick of the game, Rovers were awarded a penalty which was converted by Tommy Scott.
So, it was to spot-kicks to decide the outcome and Moneyfields eventually triumphed 6-5.
