Challenge Cup Final

Sleaford Town Reserves 0

Hykeham Town 6

Sleaford Town’s second string were hit for six by a rampant Hykeham Town in the Challenge Cup Final at Ashby Avenue, home of Lincoln United.

Hykeham, who had already won the Lincolnshire FA Junior Cup for the second consecutive season, proved too strong for the Sleaford side and never looked in any danger after Josh Raby gave them the lead midway through the first half.

Ben Good added a brace of goals early in the second half before Robin Newman smashed home the fourth.

Raby then wrapped things up with two late goals to complete his hat-trick and earn him the man of the match award.

Sleaford Town Reserves: Alex Smith, Padley, Rice, Wells, Sidney, Firman, Caudwell, Llewellyn, Tunstall, Barratt, Thompson, Cook, Adam Smith, Hingley, Shaw, Tite.
