Windscale Reserves completed their fixtures for the season going down 6-0 away to Whitehaven Miners in the Divisional Cup.
It looked as though the game might go into double figures with the score 4-0 at half time to the home side. However, the young Windscale side settled better in the last 45 minutes conceding only a further two goals and missing three golden opportunities to get on the scoresheet.
Miners goals came from Bradley Glaister (2), Jamie Thursby, Owen Woods, Dylan Elsworth and ex-Windscale youth goalkeeper, Lewis Park.
The competition, which was structured on a round robin basis, will conclude with a one-off final between the two teams finishing in the top two positions.
