Somerset League
Pen Mill have completed the ‘double double’ after picking up their second trophy for the
second year in a row when they defeated Paulton Rovers Res 4-2 after extra time in a
dramatic and thrilling Dawn Prior Memorial Cup Final at Glastonbury. Charlotte Harmer gave
Pen Mill a first half lead, with Paulton equalising on the stroke of half time through an Alice
Ford header. Jasmine Ford then volleyed Paulton ahead for the first time after the restart and
they remained in front until a remarkable period of injury time. Ford twice went close to scoring
a third for Paulton on counter attacks, first with a shot which was saved by Kate Chard and then
hitting the side netting from an acute angle, before Megan Gratton twice rattled the bar at the
other end and at the third attempt, buried her shot into the far top corner to take the game into
extra time. A cool finish from Harmer saw Pen Mill go back in front early in the extra period and
they were to make the game safe through a cross-cum-shot by Gratton with six minutes
remaining.
