THE 2007 South Holderness Cup Final will be between Easington United and Hedon Rangers following a nail-biting second semi-final at Low Farm last week.
Holders Easington eventually emerged victorious from their meeting with Withernsea – but only after a dramatic penalty shootout.
On an atrocious night, goals from Mike Nicholson and John Batch gave the hosts a significant half-time advantage. After the break, however, The Seasiders struck back courtesy of a Chris Frost penalty and a Neil Stephenson goal.
Stephenson then inadvertently headed past his own keeper to seemingly put Easington through with just five minutes left but a minute later Simon Wilson again tied things up.
Extra-time brought no more goals and the teams remained locked at 1-1 on penalties after two attempts each. Frost then saw his shot saved by Eastenders goalkeeper Kevin Appleyard, with Ian Barrow scoring to give the home side the advantage. Mark Wilson and Danny Medforth exchanged successful pens for 3-2 and when Appleyard made his third save, from Chris Hardcastle, Easington were finally through to their eighth South Holderness Cup Final in ten years.
A week earlier, Hedon had earned their place in the final in somewhat more comfortable fashion, cruising past surprise package Roos 6-0 thanks to goals from Adrian Parkinson, Mark Sansam, Peter Birney, Mike Dowd, Derek Peat and an ‘own goal’.
The final, which is being kindly sponsored by CFS Fuel Supplies, takes place at the Destiny Fitness Ground next Wednesday, 30th May (6.45pm). All proceeds from the competition go to the Neurosurgical Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary.

EASINGTON UNITED and HEDON RANGERS will contest the final of this year’s South Holderness Cup at the Destiny Fitness Ground, Saltend next Wednesday (30 May).
The holders earned the right to defend the trophy after a nail-biting semi-final against WITHERNSEA at Low Farm last Wednesday week.
Easington eventually triumphed 3-2 on penalties after the teams had been locked at 3-3 at the end of extra-time.
The Eastenders are attempting to win the trophy for an unprecedented eight times in ten attempts following victories in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006 (they didn’t enter in 2001). Victory next Wednesday would provide them with a record that neither of the Cup’s most successful sides, Withernsea nor Hedon United, achieved during their prolific years of the Sixties and Seventies.
Hedon Rangers are appearing in their first final under their current name although manager Kenny Harrison’s side have previously tasted victory as ‘Keyingham’. They defeated Withernsea 2-1 to take the Cup in 2001.
Rangers were the last team to beat Easington in the South Holderness Cup. Two years ago they won on penalties at Low Farm, only to then lose to Patrington in the semi-finals. They also tasted victory the last time the two teams met, courtesy of a 2-0 win at Low Farm in the HPL Premier Division in March.
The Final kicks-off at 6.45pm. All proceeds from the competition go to the Neurosurgical Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary and the Committee’s thanks again go to CFS Fuel Supplies for their kind sponsorship of the competition.
