East Chevington lifted the ACS Dobfar Cup following a 2-1 win over Morpeth Waterford Lodge.

As with last week's final, a late goal decided the game, and the winners came from a goal down to win. Lenny Lansbury put the Waterford in front on the half-hour mark with a smart finish, and his side held the lead until three minutes into the second half, when
Chevington leveled with a calmly dispatched penalty from Sean Palmer.

Both sides had chances to take the lead during the second half, but both goalkeepers made important saves to keep the scores level. The game was heading for extra time when Sean Palmer netted again with another well-taken goal to settle it.
