Corkill wins cup for Peel

Peel ended their Junior Cup hoodoo by lifting the Ascot Hotel Junior Cup on Saturday (May 11th).

Contesting their fourth successive final, the westerners defeated 2013 winners Corinthians courtesy of a solitary goal at the Bowl.

Dan Corkill struck in the opening minute to seal the silverware in a repeat of the final from two seasons ago.

It ensured the combination side finished the season on a high after being pipped to the Combination One title.

Corinthians played the final 20 minutes with 10 men following the dismissal of Stewart Smith.

It was a happy return to the Bowl for Peel who were 17 minutes from going out of the competition in the preliminary round when they trailed St Mary’s 5-2 before recovering to win 6-5.
