FARNWORTH United retained the Bolton At Home Sunday League Division One Cup with a 2-1 win against Queen Anne at Radcliffe Borough’s Taurus Park, but they were made to work hard for it.

The holders were given a helping hand with an own goal putting them ahead at the break and although they were reduced to 10 men, Jon Stephenson doubled the lead in the second half.

Although Niall Callaghan’s late goal gave Queen Anne hope they were unable to force a second.

The first goal came out of nowhere, with Tom Halligan misdirecting a back pass to his goalkeeper, Craig Lewis, and finding the bottom corner of the goal.

Farnworth almost scored a more conventional goal late in the half but Lewis’ diving save prevented Aaron Monks from doubling the lead.

Twenty minutes into the second half an altercation between Queen Anne's Paul Hatton and Farnworth's Matty Crook saw the latter dismissed.

But Farnworth went further ahead when Stephenson collected Joe Cappy’s cross and fired in a shot on the turn.

Queens’ manager Dean Walmsley pushed Kieron Edwards further up the field and they were rewarded five minutes from time, his pass allowed Carl Cover the time to put a superb cross in the area which Callaghan volleyed into the bottom corner.

Although Monks put a chance narrowly wide for Farnworth, the late pressure came from Queen Anne but they could not turn that into a goal and Farnworth retained their trophy.

The Division Two Cup final was another tight affair, and needed penalties to separate Westhoughton and Deane.

Westhoughton won the shoot-out after the match had ended locked at 1-1.

Deane, who finished fourth in the league, could not make the most of their early chances, as Karl Dumbarton twice fired narrowly wide.

And Westhoughton, who only finished above their opponents on goal difference, capitalised on the let-offs as they score a 15th-minute goal with their first real attack.

Deane keeper Craig Holt twice foiled the forwards, parrying shots from Adam Dorken and Josh Pennington, but when the second rebound fell for Dorken he made the most of his side’s third bite of the cherry.

Ten minutes before half time Deane drew level, Jack Thornley finding the top corner with an excellent volley.

Defences dominated in the second half, with only one chance created, Deane top scorer Dumbarton again missing the target on a rare off-day for him.

Westhoughton looked the more likely to find a winner in extra time but Deane’s man-of-the-match Holt was having an inspired game in goal, and they almost snatched it right at the end but Christian Borrows’ shot came back off the post, meaning penalties would be required.

Two impressive saves in the shoot-out from Westhoughton keeper Ryan Gannon set up the chance for Ben Howarth to smash home their final spot-kick for a 4-2 victory.
