Droitwich Spa Pirates' penalty hits bar as they are edged out in Midland Junior Premier Football League Cup final by Oadby Owls

A tight game was decided by an Oadby goal a few minutes into the second half but Spa fought to the end and got a penalty kick five minutes from time.

Harvey Osborne’s goal-bound header was handled by an Oadby player to prevent it going into the net.

But the penalty struck the bar and despite further Droitwich  pressure they could not take the game to spot-kicks.

Pirates put in a great display after an unprecedented achievement to get to the final in the first place.

Jenson Warrier captained the squad of Isaac Pepper, Luka Ferguson, Adam Hanson, Lucas Pepper, Luke Bahia, Harvey Osborne, Samuel Lea, Ewan Carter, Shravann Raajkumar, Joshua Hurdman and Alfie Bateson.

Manager Clive Carter said: "All the boys should be very proud of their efforts and achievements this season and when the dust settles they surely will be.

"They are a credit to their club, their parents and coaches. We hope they can go one better next season and bring the cup back to Droitwich."
