 Trowbridge Town

Wiltshire League Cup (Final)
Saturday, May 1st, 2004
Southbank, Corsham
Referee: Keith Milburn
2:00 PM Kick-off

Scorers: Mike Little

Despite Trowbridge taking an early lead, Bradford denied them a cup double, two strikes by Tom Pang doing the damage. The opening goal was scored after just seven minutes, Mike Little heading home a Gavin Eyre corner. Bradford worked hard to get themselves back into the game, Pang going close on 20 minutes with a shot just over the bar. Ten minutes later they were level. A cross from the right found Pang unmarked on the left and he confidently slotted the ball past Adam Sheppard.
Trowbridge started the second half quite well with Gordon Saunderson going close but as time went on they began to look tired and Bradford started the look the more likely to score. Pang's second goal was worthy of a cup final. A superb volley into the right hand side of the net which gave Sheppard no chance. Trowbridge tried to get back into the game but always looked second best. They nearly earned extra time in the last minute when Nick Quinton made a point blank save to tip a header over the bar. Probably just one game too many for Trowbridge during this hectic spell of matches but congratulations to Bradford who deserved their win on the day.
