Vasco 3 Dev.Colts 1 (Colts win 7-3 on aggregate) With better finishing Vasco might just have overturned Colts' comfortable 6-0 first-leg lead in the Dudley Eve final yesterday at St. David's.

Punch drunk and down for the count after Thursday's hammering, Vasco surprised just about everybody with the way they came out fighting in the second match.

And when they pulled back two goals in the first 17 minutes the large crowd was bracing itself for something as spectacular as Colts' margin of victory three days earlier.

But there was too much time in between Vasco's second and third goals -- 53 minutes -- as they left themselves needing to score three more goals in the last 20 minutes to wipe out Colts' aggregate lead.

When Marvin Belboda put Colts back up four goals overall in the 87th minute the match was over. But Vasco had won Colts' respect.

"Most definitely, they came out, didn't think it was impossible and believed in themselves and gave it their all,'' said Colts captain Shannon Burgess afterwards. "My hat's off to them for that. They got two early goals and then they ran at us like anybody would. They put four up top (up front) and we took a while to adjust to it.'' While it was Vasco doing most of the attacking it was Colts who almost took the lead less than two minutes into the game when Marvin Belboda and Sullivan Phillips linked well.

Belboda cut in on the right and squared to Phillips, whose shot was tipped against the bar by Timmy Figureido. Vasco found the net in the sixth minute but Del Tyrrel's overhead kick which was ruled out for dangerous play. But Vasco were not to be denied, breaking the deadlock two minutes later through the same player, who beat Troy Hall with a shot into the bottom corner.

Vasco struck again in the 17th minute when, from a free kick deep on the right, former Colts player Jermaine Belboda flighted in a cross that Hall dropped over the line.

After that it was a series of misses on Vasco's part as Colts were kept under pressure. A spectacular shot from defender Kuma Smith hit the woodwork and then Tyrrell blasted high and wide after a ball bounced through an anxious Colts defence.

"I don't know if it was panic or immaturity,'' said Burgess.

Vasco substitute Albert Wolffe, who had a heated exchange with referee George O'Brien in Wellington Oval on Boxing Day, ran into more trouble yesterday when his conduct on the Vasco bench got him the red card from referee Richard Knight in the 41st minute.

Wolffe had been fussing from the outset and his anger boiled over when he disagreed with a call. When the ball went into touch right in front of him and Aljame Zuill went to retrieve it, Wolffe kicked out at the Colts striker.

The Vasco catalogue of misses continued early in the second half when Clay Smith put a header over the top from inside the six-yard box.

By the time Chris Anderson scored from close range in the 70th minute, it was too late, although substitute Sharrieff smashed a shot against the bar in the 79th minute.

Marvin Belboda, who was to be subsituted but earned a reprieve when McKonnen Hollis pulled up injured, scored Colts' lone goal following a good run into the Vasco box.

"I thought if we had a couple more lucky breaks the game would have been even more interesting,'' said Vasco coach John Rebello.

"That (first leg result) was humiliating and they felt they had a point to prove and they proved it.'' Vasco: T.Figureido; W.Augustus, C.Roberts, K.Smith (T.Forth 90min), J.Belboda, K.Burchall, D.Tyrrell, K.Jennings, C.Smith (D.Sharrieff 63min), A, D.Basden, C.Anderson.

The Trojans beat Boulevard 4-3 on penalties in last week's semi-final, but this time they finished up losers as PHC came from behind to win an exciting shoot-out, Dennis Joell saving Aaron Williams' hard drive before scoring at the other end himself.

Somerset took the game into penalties when substitute Nadir Wade scored with a header two minutes into stoppage time.

Jelani Scott had put the Trojans ahead after 56 minutes only for Kamal Williams to equalise two minutes later. Fifteen minutes from the end Patrick Russell and Mikey Williams combined to set up Kevin Richards to score before Wade's late reply.
