Late goals seal JW Hunt Cup for Tividale
Two late goals gave Tividale a trophy double as they clinched the JW Hunt Cup in dramatic fashion at Molineux.
Sporting Khalsa had made the Midland Alliance champions pay for failing to make the most of a string of good chances and led 2–1 with six minutes to go.
But Karl Edwards managed to create an opportunity for himself in a crowded penalty area to fire in an equaliser.
Extra time seemed certain as the last of four minutes' added time arrived but after Khalsa keeper Mariusz Kiesel had turned a Ryan Winwood drive for a corner, the resultant kick saw the ball find its way to substitute Sam Williams who drilled in the winning goal.
Edwards had fired Tividale in front after six minutes from a rebound when a Mark Smith header was blocked on the line.
Mark Habbershaw strode onto a through ball to hammer Khalsa level on 35 minutes.
Tividale must have thought it was not their night when on the hour Liam Hughes scored from the spot after left-back Hayden Williams had been sent sprawling by Luke Paskin.
Then came the late drama. And there was still time for a moment of confusion as Khalsa's Jon Cordy was sent off in the aftermath of the winning goal as Tividale players celebrated.
Tividale started the brighter of the two sides and pushed forwards as soon as the whistle went.
It didn't take long for them to draw first blood. Defender Mark Smith met a fourth minute corner to send a powerful header towards goal. His effort was cleared off the line but forward Karl Edwards was first to react to slot home the rebound.
