The Somerset Trojans and the Dandy Town Hornets will battle in the Dudley Eve Final on November 11th at the National Sports Center.
Somerset Trojans 1 Flanagan’s Onion’s 0
The first Dudley Eve Semi-Final of the 2014/15 Season saw the Somerset Trojans win a hard fought match 1 – 0 over the Flanagan’s Onion’s.
In the 12th minute the Flanagan’s Onion’s failed to clear a corner, the ball fell to Alton Trott who’s 20 yard left footed shot went through a maze of players and into the back of the net.
From there the game became very physical, with hard tackles, even some pushing and shoving off the ball.
Substitute Keston Lewis came close to drawing the Flanagan’s Onion’s level but he was denied by Somerset Trojans goalkeeper Shaquille Bean from close range.
Dandy Town Hornets 3 (4) North Village Rams 3 (3) – After Extra Time
Both teams took time to settle in the first half, but when Ayshaun Smith scored mid-way through the first half the Dandy Town Hornets took a 1 – 0 lead.
Damon Ming doubled the Dandy Town Hornets lead when he found the back of the net in the 52nd minute scoring from a free kick.
Keishen Bean pulled a goal back for the North Village Rams and then with virtually no time remaining on the clock North Village Rams substitute Jonathan Briers scored to make it 2-2 sending the game into extra-time.
In the first period of extra time Bean scored his second goal of the game giving the North Village Rams a 3 – 2 lead, but Azende Fubert’s header in injury time of the second period for the Dandy Town Hornets has sent the game into penalty kicks.
The Dandy Town Hornets advanced to the Final in a rollercoaster match winning 4-3 on kicks from the penalty mark.
