Saints penalty shootout agony

ASC Saints played in the South Cheshire League U11 Cup Final last night and lost out to Boro Boys in the dreaded penalty shootout!

The game itself was a pulsating one and had finished 4-4. Saints had flown out of the blocks to score after 20 seconds and added another a few minutes later to establish a two goal lead.

Indeed, for large parts of the game they were in front, including at 3-1 and 4-2. However, Boro Boys simply never gave up and scored twice deep into the second half to draw level.

With no further goals added in extra time, the game was decided with a shootout which Boro won 5-4. As disappointed as the boys are, a runners up medal is not to be sniffed at and they must now pick themselves up for Sunday's last league game.

A draw in that game will secure the league title for the Saints. Opponents are last night's cup winners Boro Boys – kick off is 10am (Barony pitch 4).
