MITCHELDEAN defended for their lives to win their West Dean Charities Senior Cup final showdown with Redbrook Rover by 2-0 at a wet Harrow Hill FC on Sunday. Damon Beaumont netted twice on the counter-attack to see off the favourites.

Redbrook suffered an early setback as both Keith Buffrey and Dan Spence went off injured.

Clint Jones was inches away from giving Mitcheldean the lead, just missing Stu Saving's low delivery across the face of goal.
