AINSWORTH A took the Division Two Cup with an excellent 3-1 victory over Garswood United at Eagley Sports Club.
Ainsworth started the brighter and Ian Bentley gave them an early lead before he produced a fine run to lay on the second for Mark Lindsay.
That sparked Garswood into action and they started playing some attractive football. They were rewarded when John Deakin pulled a goal back just before half time.
