Les James League Cup 1st Rd
Frampton United 1 Hardwicke 1 (Hardwicke win 4-2 on penalties)
FRAMPTON United were drawn to face last season winner of the trophy Hardwicke. This was a local derby as the clubs are not too far apart.
Hardwicke went through but not before it went to a penalty shootout after 90 minutes. Hardwicke got off to a great start and took the lead on four minutes when Josh Wilson lobbed the ball over home keeper James Marklove.
Two minutes later, Frampton’s Jack Bartman saw his free kick pushed over the bar by the visitor’s keeper.
Hardwicke were unlucky in the 12th minute when Joss Wilson’s header hit the crossbar. Frampton were on level terms after 25 minutes when Matt Cook’s 25 yard shot finished up in the back of the Hardwicke net.
Frampton’s Jake Ward saw his fizzing shot just clear the bar on 86 minutes and Nathan Dennis’s rasping shot was scrambled away by the visitor’s keeper right on time.
With the scores level on 90 minutes the game was settled from the penalty spot with Hardwicke winning 4-2.
