Ladies sign off with League Cup triumph!

From the off this was a tight game with both sides working hard, creating opportunities and defending well

Sutton had an early chance when Louise Price headed over after 16 minutes

On 25 minutes Sutton's stand-in keeper Ally Forbes made a fantastic save down to her right following a cross-shot from Leafield

The second-half saw much of the same with both sides trading possession and shots

Hayley Chatwin came close with a header and direct from a corner for Sutton

Leafield had two shots well gathered by Ally Forbes in the Sutton goal

The match-winner came in the 78th minute when substitute Imogen Fisher bundled in a quality cross from Cheyanne Jarvis at the far post to give Sutton the victory

Player-of-the-match was stand-in keeper Ally Forbes who was quality throughout and pulled off many fine saves

Boss Andy Burman said "This was the tightest of games. It was clear that just one break would decide the outcome. The players were hungry for this win and fully deserved their win. We wish Leafield all the very best in the National League next season, they deserve to be League winners"
