DESPITE taking a 3-0 lead in their Andover Presidents Cup tie, Tron were pegged back to 3-3 by visitors Pharmasol Appleshaw Sports last Sunday.
Two goals from Michael Morey had put Tron 2-0 up at half-time, and increased the lead to 3-0 with a header at the back post from Ross Soper-Dyer, before the visitors got on top and looked likely winners as the game entered the final twenty minutes.
Then Scott Winterbourne came on as substitute and made all the difference.
He set up three goals, converted by David Parry, Siyani Thomas, and finally a Parry tap in for Tron to win 6-3, taking them through to the next round with four wins in a row under their belts.
In their Hampshire Sunday Junior A Cup tie, Hampshire Irons travelled to East Christchurch SSC Reserves, and took a fifth minute lead, after Sam Frizzell put Dan Kilmartin through.
However, the home side bounced back to 2-1 ahead at half-time, then 3-1 shortly after. Tom Chant set up Rob Mead to reduce the deficit, but again the hosts restored their two-goal cushion 4-2.
Tom Chant set up Jack Miller, who closed the gap with a stunning bicycle kick, but couldn't prevent the match ending in a 4-3 exit for Irons.
