STUDLEY Lions booked their place in the final of the Bromsgrove League Bridgwater Cup after an enthralling 5-5 draw with Redditch United Sunday before winning in the penalty shoot-out.

United had taken a commanding first-half 4-1 lead through Jamie Sippitts (2), Rob Beadle and Leon Hewitt while Sam Smith netted for Lions.

But whatever was said at half-time by Lions boss Clay Dyson kicked his side into gear as they came from behind to take a 5-4 lead thanks to Nick Briggs (2), Smith and Rupert Antley.

The drama was not over though as Jack O’Donnell smashed home for United to send the game into penalties where Lions prevailed 4-2 from the spot.
