MONKS FACE ROYALS ONCE MORE
The Velocity Wessex League Cup final will once again be contested between Hamble Club and AFC Portchester, after the sides came through their respective midweek semi-finals.
Hamble will be looking to retain the trophy they won in 2023/24 in beating the Royals 2-0 at the OnSite Group Stadium.
The Monks earned their spot on Wednesday night - seeing off Fareham Town by the same score at Hamble Lane - courtesy of first half strikes from Clayd Road and Nick Yeomans.

Portchester meanwhile advanced with 3-2 success at Millbrook on Tuesday - Lee Wort, Charlie Williamson and Ryan Pennery on target for Gav Spurway's table-toppers, who are also in the hunt to retain their Hampshire Senior Cup crown, while advancing to the final of the Russell Cotes Cup and semi-finals of the Portsmouth Senior Cup.
The final will take place at The OnSite Group Stadium on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5, 3pm k.o.
Advance tickets for the final can be purchased via the link below, priced £8 (adults), £4 (over 65's and under 18's), with a family ticket for one adult and up to two children at £10.
