LABOUR Club booked their place in the final of Basingstoke B Cup after a thrilling 2-1 win over AFC Berg after extra time.

They will have to wait to see who their opponents will be as the Herriard Sports and Winklebury Wizards semi-final was abandoned at half-time due to a waterlogged pitch.

It was a bad mistake by the Berg goalkeeper Torden Kirrage in the 20th minute that handed Labour with the opener. Instead of picking up a though ball from Jack Barlow, he opted to fly kick which he sliced and it gave Arron Johns his chance to pounce on the loose ball to net. As Berg tried to get level, both Gavin Harkness and Louis Chambers looked in fine form in the heart of the Labour defence until the equaliser came in the 70th minute.

Mason Saunders, way out on the wing, tried a deep cross into the box and it ended up in the far corner of the net.

In the 80th a great goal line clearance by Charlie Costen stopped Gavin Curry giving Berg the lead and Keiran Allayne hit a chance over the bar.

Barlow, celebrating 18th birthday, was unable to snap up a chance after a clearance from Kirrage hit him on he back.

With the scores still level at 90 minutes, extra time was played and with five minutes left came the winner. Curry was adjudged to have handled a shot from Martin Wieorski, a penalty was awarded and Wayne Barlow put the spot kick away.
