Sun Sports win Reserve Cup

Division One runners up Sun Sports Reserves made their season even more memorable by taking the Herts County League Reserve Cup in Thursday's all Watford final at Leavesden Hospital.
In a game where both sides lacked coherence in midfield, Sun full back Terry Reynolds - a converted centre forward - captured the cup a minute before half time.
Undaunted by a Graham Seabrook "goal" that was disallowed for pushing, Sun pressed forward again.
First teamer Tony Stratford and Tom Barber contrived a neat move that made the Leggatts Way defence look rather sketchy.
Barber's cross was missed by Don Blackett but Reynolds appeared 20 yards out to smack a drive past Tom Dignum.
Minutes before this, only an airborne save by goalkeeper Trevor Swinhoe had prevented the Old Boys gaining the lead.
Cunning Ken Coniam tore down the middle, veered across the face of the goal and with the Sun defence still not committing themselves, the winger hit a shot bound for the corner of the net until Swinhoe intervened.
Leggatts Way's hopes of winning the trophy for the first time since 1966 scarcely got off the ground in the second half.
With the Sun defence, built around Bob Davies, closing up the middle, the Old Boys opportunities were restricted to two which fell to Bill Newman and Dai Jones.
The one man capable of redeeming the Old Boys' lost cause, Ian Butcher, was taken off 15 minutes from the finish with a head wound that needed five stitches at hospital.
He was injured in a clash of heads with Sun defender Colin Tattam, who was replaced by substitute Terry Webb a few minutes later.
