ALCONBURY U15 Girls lifted their first-ever trophy when they overcame a resolute Hormead Hares on penalties in the S-Tech U15 Girls Plate.
Nothing was easy for the teams in the tough conditions and the sides were locked at 1-1 at full-time and 2-2 after extra-time.
Penalties were needed and the player of the day was Alconbury keeper Steph Wardlow who made the all important penalty save to give Alconbury the win.
