Dukes holds his nerve to land Vin Boden Cup for Wanderers

Dukes converted a 90th-minute penalty for the only goal of a tight final against Belgrade.

And it was Belgrade’s Antoine Julien who took home the man-o-the-match award – presented to him by Billy Ebblewhite, son of Vin Boden’s nephew Ian.

Julien fashioned the first opening for Belgrade by flicking the ball over the head of Lewis Siverns and driving into the area. His square pass was met by Andre Meads, whose first-time shot was pushed away by Barley’s Ollie Monk.

Barley settled and were close to taking the lead when Jack Hannon clipped the ball over the head of the onrushing goalkeeper, only for a covering Belgrade defender to clear off the line.

The second half continued in the same vein with chances few and far between. Donny Shinn had the best of them with a right-footed shot from the edge of the 18-yard box, but Mike Powell got down well to his left to push the ball away.

But there would be a late twist as substitute Andy Smith burst through and was brought down by a Belgrade defender – and Dukes sent the ball to Powell’s right for the win as Barlet held out for five minutes of stoppage time.
