Cup final joy for Rimington

RIMINGTON overcame the disappointment of their mid-week President’s Cup semi-final defeat by bounc­ ing back in positive form to win the Morrison Cup on

Leach put the villagers ahead seven minutes later when he chased down a superb through ball from Blackledge and rifled the ball home Once again the Rimington defenders and goalkeeper were guilty of ball watching when they allowed Hellifield to equalise with a headed goal which came out of nothing. These two slips apart the


rebound from the keeper. The two Rimington front


players Leach and Watkins were continually putting Helli- field’s defence under pressure and the two combined in a fine inter-passing move in the 75th minute which saw Leach giv­ ing Rimington a 5-2 lead and at the same time completing his hat-trick. Hellifield were by now in a complete state of disarray with the locals creating chance after chance. In the 80th minute Leach was fouled just outside the opposi­ tion’s 18-yaid box and from the resulting free-kick Braithwaite scored his second goal to give Rimington a 6-2 win. This was a very good team

little to do until Kings scored a second goal with 30 min­ utes remaining. The game opened up into an

with Swan pushing forward, Kings introduced Cannon into the fray hoping his pace would prove v ita l on the counterattack. The crucial third goal fell to Kings with Dominic Chap­ man unusually caught out by left wing wizardry. Soon after Matt Lee ended
