| Bromsgrove Sporting lifted the Midland Football League Les James Challenge Cup with a late winner at the Banks’s Stadium after twice going behind in an exciting Cup Final in Walsall.
The first chance fell to Sporting, but Joshua McKenzie shot wide before Saints took the lead after just ten minutes from the penalty spot through Bridges after a handball in the area. Sporting were back on level terms in the 19th minute as Reece Hewitt latched onto a rebound off a Saints defender to slot past Tom Cross. They nearly doubled up three minutes later when breaking from defence following a Saints corner and it took a good stop from Cross to deny them again in the 28th. All square at the break.
Saints opened up well in the second half, with Chris Bright shooting over the bar after a free kick was half cleared by keeper Jake Bedford and then a good move involving Lee Thomas and Crisp saw Bridges through, but his shot lacked real power. A superb left-foot shot into the top corner by Thomas put Saints back in front in the 74th minute, after a good exchange of passing with Bright, but the lead was short-lived as Sporting were back level when the defence failed to clear a free kick and Sam Wills fired home.
With the action end to end, Cross saved at the near post from McKenzie before Sporting went ahead for the first time in the match in the 79th minute. The ball was lobbed over the defence and McKenzie ran through to beat Cross low down. Another chance went begging for Sporting and then Conway beat Cross, only for Matty Hunt to clear off the line. Saints almost squared it on the stroke of full time, but substitute Stefan Grudzinksi’s shot came back off the post.
