Coach and Horses Albion eventually prevailed in dramatic fashion against Wicor Mill to lift the Challenge Cup at AFC Portchester’s On-Site Group Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The game itself had ended in a 2-2 draw between unbeaten Division 3 champions Albion and Division 1 winners Wicor.
Wicor, who had Billy Butcher sent off in the first half, twice led through Jake Pepall (penalty) and Sam Kessack, only for Tommy Tierney and Craig Watkinson to level.
Albion keeper Adam Puckett then saved three Wicor penalties in the shoot-out.
