Under-16 County Cup Final
CHICKERELL UNITED 3 SHERBORNE TOWN 0
CHICKERELL United lifted the County Cup after beating Division One leaders Sherborne Town in a well contested final.
Jimmy McKay fired the Chickens ahead after 10 minutes when connecting well from a Dan Austin cross.
United continued to press forward and were rewarded when Joe Charles powered a header into the roof of the net.
The second half saw Sherborne retain their composure in search of a breakthrough but were thwarted by a fine defensive performance by Peck, Hanger, Charles and Mitchell backed up by confident keeping from Connor Doherty.
McKay increased the advantage and Stew Walbridge was unlucky to have an effort disallowed. Rob Condliffe’s powerful strike on to the cross- bar deserved to put the result beyond doubt.
Hard work from Ashley Batchelor, Matt Bosomworth and James Legg assured that Sherborne were kept at bay until the final whistle.
