Basingstoke & District Sunday League Match Reports from Sunday 5th December, By Tony Spencer.

In a thrilling match, Tron found themselves 0-3 down after only 20 minutes, from set-piece corners and a penalty, in their Hampshire Sunday Senior Cup home tie against FILO from Andover. The turning point came when Harry Cook beat two players to fire into the bottom corner of the net for 1-3. Cook got his second with a header from a corner high into the net, to make it 2-3. Cook's inspiration spread to the rest of the team, starting a move through Connor Dawber who found Finley Hall; he cut inside to level the match 3-3. FILO bucked up their own ideas after seeing their three-goal lead melt away, so they struck back, first to 3-4 and then 3-5. With 26 minutes left, FILO were reduced to 10 men after a second bookable foul on Steven Caswell. With the freedom of space this provided, Cook was inspired, scoring three more goals, one from an individual run, the second a header from a corner to level once again, with just three minutes left, and finally, deep in injury time, he beat three players to squeeze the icing on the cake, a 6-5 home win. Tron's 100% record continues unabated.
