Illogan RBL 1, St Austell 2
BEN Douglas scored in the 90th minute to clinch a dramatic victory for St Austell in the Westinsure Cornwall Junior Cup final at Saltash on Easter Monday.
Illogan, beaten finalists the previous two seasons, ended the game with nine men after David Thomas and Ryan Treloar were sent off in the second half.
The Lillywhites took a 13th minute lead thanks to a Phil Hutchings penalty after player manager Nick Ward's foul on Douglas.
Illogan came more into the game after the break and equalised in the 55th minute through Gareth Pitt.
But with 71 minutes on the clock Illogan were reduced to ten men when Thomas was sent off after a second yellow card.
And then, in the 90th minute, after Treloar was sent off for a professional foul, the resulting free kick fell in to the path of Douglas who scored from close range.
