Nantwich Pirates beat Cheshire Cat 4-1 in the Final of the Crewe & District FA Sunday Vase at the Cumberland Arena, writes Jonathan White.
The Pirates were 3-0 up after a brace from Alex Beedles and a goal from Liam Hayes-Porter.
The Cat seemed to be putting together a fightback when Alfie Sanders scored in the second half, but a fourth Pirates goal by Ryan Moss clinched the trophy for the Nantwich side.
Nantwich Pirates Man of the Match was won jointly by Josh Cooke and Alex Beedles.
A spokesperson for Nantwich Pirates said: “What a win for the Pirates in the Crewe FA Sunday Vase.
“To be fair to the Cat they played the better football in the first 15 minutes, but we had joy down the right hand side through Jord Cotterell.
“We had a majority of the ball in the first 10 mins of the second half.
“Cat then started getting on the ball more and had a majority of the ball chasing to get back into the game, their winger fired a rasping shot into the top corner with Andy making an amazing save onto the crossbar, sadly we could follow the rebound and they followed in to make it 3-1.
“The game was tense with both sides struggling with lads getting cramp. We finished the game off with a 4th, Mossy running onto a through ball from Rhys and calmly slotting the ball past the keeper, 4-1.
“An unbelievable performance from the lads, the subs all having brilliant impacts when coming on and the support was amazing from everyone that got down to watch, what a day!”
