Town lift cup after shoot out success

On Friday night, at the home of Lincoln Moorlands, Horncastle Town lifted the Challenge Cup after beating Brigg Town Reserves 7-6 on penalties.

After 90 minutes the scores were level at 1-1 and nothing could separate the sides after another half an hour of extra time. The dreaded penalty shoot out followed and after captain Chris Johnson scored Towns seventh successful spot kick Lewis Birchnall became Towns hero with a great save to thwart Briggs captain and win the cup for Town.

Nathan Rawdon had earlier given Town the lead on the half hour mark but Brigg levelled with twenty minutes to go.

Richard Jackson, Scott Lowman, Andy Bullivant, Dave Marshall, Michael Harness, Steve Brown and Chris Johnson all kept their nerve from 12 yards to send the travelling Wongers into celebration.
