United shock Lacock to reach Knockout Cup Final
AFC Melksham and FC Devizes United will contest this season’s A M Print & Copy sponsored Knockout Cup Final following semi-final victories over respective opponents Pack Horse FC and FC Lacock.
Dave Jenkins, who is in his first season as Melksham manager, will be happy to have avoided a potential banana skin after booking their place in next Sunday’s final with a nail-biting 3-2 triumph over Gary Williamson’s Pack Horse outfit.
Cup favourites, Melksham, who suffered a 2-0 loss to Box Rovers in the 2019 final, looked to be coasting to victory as they went 2-0 up in the opening 15 minutes as Joe Maloney gave them the lead on 9 minutes and Jordan Kick doubled the advantage 5 minutes later.
