 at ewen fieles, home of hyde united for manchester premier cup final, fc united of manchester, 14th in conference north vs trafford, just outside play offs in step 4 northern league division 1 north. 

fc won this conpetition on a barmy evening last may at oldham's boundary park, and with them having secured safety last week will be hoping to retain their crown. 

trafford will be hoping to spring a cup upset. 

but the weather is far from barmy here in east manchester this evening. late drama at ewen fields. 

ft 2 each. 

trafford better side in first half, much more cohetion, and appeared to watt it more. 

2 each at ht, with fc coming behind both times. 

traford man sent off in 2nd half which gave fc momentum but they could not make the extra man count. 

game went to penalties. 

this sparked panic amongst some  fans, some of whom hurried to the car park which closed at ten pm and aiming to avoid their car being empounded before the cut off time. 

 

the rest of us charged down the other end where penalties were being taken behind oposite end. 

  

fc coming out 3 2 winners in shoot out, one pen each saved. 

 in a pulsating end to the tie. 

crowd 1004.
