LAST year’s runners-up Blewbury lifted the North Berks League War Memorial Trophy with a 2-1 win over Letcombe at Wantage Town, writes RICHARD UNDERWOOD.

In front of around 200 spectators, Blewbury went in front when a fine run and cross from Charles Jamieson saw leading scorer Arran Gray tap past Letcombe keeper Ben Beasley.

Letcombe equalised early in the second half when Jamie Saulter’s free-kick to the far post found James Wright, who fired in from close range.

Blewbury were reduced to ten men when Lee Chapman was dismissed for a late challenge.

But despite being a man down, Blewbury secured the trophy when Boyan Thorpe fired past Beasley to make it 2-1.
