SHANKLIN Reserves have dedicated their Combination 1 League Cup final victory to groundsman Joe Geddes who died of cancer recently.
The side beat Binstead & COB Reserves 4-1 at Brading Football Club's Vicarage Lane ground yesterday (Saturday).
Shanklin's goals came from Ryan Gregory and Pete Wilson headers, a superb Ji Nash dribble and shot and a tap-in from Sam Mosely, with Binstead's consolation coming from Gavin Prescott.
Shanklin Reserves celebrate their Combination 1 League Cup success and dedicate the victory to the late Joe Geddes, Shanklin's groundsman for many years.
Delighted Shanklin player-manager, Frank Luter, said: “We dedicate this trophy in memory of our groundsman, Joe Geddes, who was a popular figure who served the club for many years.”
In the other match played later yesterday afternoon, the Combination 2 League Cup final, Oakfield Reserves beat Ventnor Reserves 4-2 on penalties after they finished 1-1 at full time.
Ventnor, who had two men sent off, took the lead with a brilliant 20-yard strike from Billy Creighton on 23 minutes.
They held out until the 75th minute when substitute Sam Woodmore finished well from close range.
Ventnor were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty in the last ten minutes for a push in the back.
