St Ives Rangers Under 15s enjoyed a sweet success when lifting the Cambridgeshire Women’s & Girls League Cup – by sinking their biggest rivals for the first time.
They beat Cambridge City 2-1 in a showpiece clash staged at St Neots Town FC last Friday night thanks to a late winner from Ella Burnley.
St Ives earlier hit the front through Abbie Townsend, but City levelled moments later in the first half.
