Cowan and Davies star as Meon lift Sunday cup

- PAUL OASTLER

The Meon boasted two hat-trick heroes as they romped to victory in the final of the Hampshire FA Sunday Senior Cup.

The City of Portsmouth Sunday League outfit thrashed East Christchur­ch SSC 6-0 at the Winklebury complex in Basingstok­e. The goals were shared between James Cowan, pictured, and Max Davies.

There was further success for the COPSL in the Hampshire FA Sunday Vase when Division 3 winners Fort Cumberland lifted the trophy with a 2-1 win over Waterloovi­lle Social.

In the league, all but one of the divisions have been decided.

Creech Wood dropped points in their bid to overhaul ACFC and be crowned Division 6 champions.

They were held 1-1 in the first game of a double header against AFC Eastney – Richard Duggan equalising for Eastney – before losing the second 2-0 courtesy of a Jake Hampton double.

Wood must now win both of their remaining fixtures to pip ACFC for the title on goal difference.

Cowplain leapfrogge­d FFC to finish runners-up in Division 4 thanks to a dramatic victory over them.

FFC looked good for second place when they opened up a 2-0 lead following a Callum Coker double. But Cowplain hit back thanks to a Cameron Tomkins double and a FFC own goal.

Fulcrum had to win both their last two games against AC Copnor to secure the Division 2 title. This they did courtesy of two 1-0 wins in a double banker, Reece Austin scoring in the first game and Charlie Fry in the second.

Barry Jeans took his Freehouse seasonal tally to 42 in all competitio­ns after netting five in a 10-2 Division 5 caning of AFC Farlington Reserves.
