TRON stunned hosts FC Wildebeest with a Lee Neal thunderbolt from 25 yards after just 12 minutes of their Andover Presidents Cup quarter-final tie on Sunday.

The match was a scrappy one, played on a muddy pitch, making Tron’s usual good football hard to maintain.

FC Wildebeest created chances but were unable to convert any of them, with Tron keeper Luke Stickland pulling off any saves necessary and James McCallion and captain George Paphiti defending well.

Tron were reduced to 10 men but held on until Harry Cook netted the clincher near the end to give them a 2-0 win. Chineham played well in the first half of their Bernard Cornish Cup semi-final match, holding a 2-0 advantage over Bramley United at the interval.

Bramley, who hadn’t dropped a point or lost a game since September, pulled a goal back with a Dean Ridgers penalty, but Chineham scored again to restore their two-goal advantage.

Neil Armstrong reduced the deficit for Bramley United on 75 minutes to 3-2, but they couldn’t make up the difference.

This was Chineham’s second win over Bramley this season. Their scorers were Shane West and Jamie Dockree with a brace.

In the other semi-final match, Division Three side North Warnborough Reserves matched UWS from Division Two in an even and competitive first 20 minutes, until Stuart Jarvis scored to make it 1-0 to UWS.

The match continued to be an open game and a cross by Andy Parker to the far post brought an equaliser through a Nial Day header and it was honours even at the break.

A solo effort by Nial Day on 65 minutes edged Boro ahead, then from a corner Tom Lucas crossed for Henry Ransley to head in to seal a 3-1 victory and a place in the final.

n In Division One, Husaria took an early lead over visitors Oakley after a fine header from Pawel Derbot. Oakley levelled from a Dan Bloma penalty before the break, with no further scoring. It was a fair result in the end for either side in a match interrupted too often to enjoy.

n Republic of Chineham beat Affini Technology 2-0, with goals from Alex Pickering and Johnny Ervin, which was payback for a defeat in the corresponding fixture in September.
