MONKS LEAGUE CUP TRIUMPH
Hamble Club celebrated their second Velocity Wessex League Cup in three years after defeating Premier Division champions, AFC Stoneham by the odd goal in five at Downton on Bank Holiday Monday.
Tyrrell Sampson put the Purps in the ascendency after fifteen, but it was short-lived as Matt Casey drilled home from the edge of the box shortly after to draw level.

Duarte Martins made no mistake from a loose ball to restore Stoneham's advantage going into the interval, before substitute, Chase Michel restored parity for a second time just before the hour mark with his first touch of the game.
Moments later Hamble got their noses in front from a super free kick from Braydon Douglas, which would turn out to be decisive, despite late Stoneham pressure.
Our congratulations to Hamble Club on their success; AFC Stoneham meanwhile have the prospect of a further three cup finals still left to navigate, including a trip to Wembley in the FA Vase final, alongside the Southampton Senior Cup final and Russell Cotes Cup final, in a historic campaign which will see the Stoneham Lane side compete at Step 4 for the first time.
The Velocity Wessex League would like to extend its thanks to all at Downton FC for their hosting and hospitality of this season's League Cup Final.
Att: 304.
