It took a penalty shoot out to decide the winners of the $1,200 first prize and the bragging rights until the next competition comes around.

Orande James had put Gunners in front in the first round of the match. In the second half, Julian Mc Nichols made his presence felt almost immediately when he equalized

A Dwight Allen free kick put Cane End Gunners back in the ascendancy.

That lead was short lived as Mc Nicholls had another say, netting the equalizer, to send the match into penalty kicks.

In the nervy spot kicks, Cane End Gunners prevailed 4-3, to send their supporters in glee.
