M AND E FREEMAN JUNIOR CUP FINAL

ELY Park Rangers Reserves lifted the trophy after a thrilling extra-time win over much-fancied Stapleford.

A handling error from goalkeeper Leigh Follen presented Stapleford with an early breakthrough, but Matt Brodie levelled from the penalty spot after Steve Pollard had been sandwiched in the box.

Rangers fell behind again, but Richie Murfitt equalised from Simon Farrow's pass with 20 minutes of normal time remaining.

Goals from Pollard and Richard Dewsbury wrapped up a 4-2 victory in extra-time, but it was the performances of Gareth Arter and Gary Dewsbury which caught the eye.
