THE young Ross Juniors Women’s team put up a brilliant performance in the Herefordshire Cup Final at Hereford FC's Edgar Street last night (Tuesday, April 18), drawing 2-2 with Pegasus before missing out 5-3 on penalties in the shoot out.

Pegasus went 1-0 up after 23 minutes, but the Juniors team of 16 to 18-year-olds responded with a wonder strike before half-time from outside the box over the keeper’s head.

Juniors were in dreamland when a chance fell inside the six-yard box and the ball was netted for a 2-1 lead after the break.

But Pegasus fought back when a long shot was partly saved by the keeper but fell kindly for a tap-in for 2-2.

That brought penalties for Juniors in their first ever senior cup final, bu it was the older city side who prevailed to lift the silverware.
