CAMDEN NEW JOURNAL CHALLENGE CUP FINAL
Globetown 2, Steeles 2
Globetown win 3-1
on penalties
KEEPER John Reid’s penalty saves clinched the trophy
for Globetown after a thrill-a-minute final between these Camden
Sunday League giants went right to the wire on Sunday.
Steve Hounslow scored the winner after Reid had saved twice
from the spot to send Steeles crashing out in a heartbreaking,
sudden-death shoot-out at Wingate and Finchley FC.
The boys from Belsize Park shrugged off the loss of hot-shot
striker Jack McNicholl, who was injured in the warm-up, to take
a 2-0 lead against Globetown.
Steve Isbell scored in either half after fine work from Eli
Nathenson and as the hour approached, it looked as though the
three-times Challenge Cup winners had secured number four.
But Globetown had other ideas and Laurence Easeman’s goal
was breached on 61 minutes; Peter Walsh squeezing the ball home
after Paul Dunne had pressurised the keeper.
Five minutes later, Darren Abbott sealed an impressive comeback
with a 30-yard cross-cum-shot that looped over Easeman and into
the net.
And Walsh and Dunne could have settled it but were denied by
defender Leo Moynihan and Easeman to force extra time.
Yet even that was not enough to separate the sides despite a
25-yard howitzer from Dunne that hit the bar and clever run
and shot by Steeles’ substitute Mark Riches that was palmed
away by shoot-out hero Reid.

Robin Harrison was the hero for Reddot, his left foot volley

Town side. |
