Braddan stun St John's to reach semi-finals

Braddan shocked St John’s to reach the Ascot Hotel Junior Cup semi-finals on Saturday.

The JCK Combination Two side defeated the Combination One outfit on their own patch.

It had all being going to plan when Nick Ford gave the home side the lead but Kyle Sum-Warrender equalised before Daniel Bedford clinched a 2-1 win from the penalty spot to cap a terrific day for Braddan.

Andrew Moody was the star at Blackberry Lane as holders Rushen beat the newly crowned Combination One league champions Old Boys 2-0.

Moody hit a goal in each half to fire the southerners into the last four where they will meet old firm rivals Peel in a repeat of last year’s final.

They eased to a 10-0 romp at Combination Two side Douglas Royal who faded after a battling first half display.

The in-form Aaron Costain and Will Morris helped themselves to hat-tricks and they were joined on the scoresheet by Chris Cain, Dan Corkill, Simon Cowley and Tom Wood.

2013 winners Corinthians booked their place in the last four with a 2-0 win at Laxey, courtesy of a Robert Bentley double.
