CUP FINAL WIN FOR BRACKLEY TOWN LADIES.
Brackley Town Ladies grabbed the first opportunity for them to secure silverware this season with a hard-fought victory over Long Buckby last night in the NTFA Cup Final.
Long Buckby, having won the NWGLF first division came out of the blocks strongly in the first few minutes, but it was Brackley Ladies who took the lead in the 6th minute.
A cross from Kerry Stapleton was only cleared to the edge of the area, where Emily Horring struck into the top left corner to give the Saints the lead. Brackley took control and dominated possession but were unable to increase their lead despite plenty of shots. Long Buckby then struck back in the 31st against the run of play. A free kick on the left found its way through and into the net, making it 1-1 at the break.
The second half continued in much the same fashion as the first, with Brackley dominating possession but no end result. With 5 minutes remaining, substitute Holly Springate made a darting run, beating several players only to see her left foot shot bounce off the inside of the post and back out across the face of goal away to safety.
Full Time 1-1 and straight to penalties.
The shoot out was a tense affair, but Brackley goalkeeper Robyn Tillyer became the hero, saving one Long Buckby penalty, with three missing the target by a long way.
The final score after the shoot-out was 2-0 to the Saints, sparking triumphant scenes as Brackley Town Ladies return to St James Park with the trophy.
Next up for Brackley Town Ladies.
The Ladies return to league action this Sunday when they visit Rushden & Diamonds with a chance to win the league. Islip Playing Fields, NN14 3LH, 2pm KO.
Then they have a second Cup Final on Sunday 18th May with the league cup final against Harpole at Steel Park, Corby, 2pm KO.
Congratulations Ladies!
