CRUMPSALL needed extra-time to clinch a 4-3 U13 Bradshaw Cup final win in the Bury and Radcliffe Junior Football League.
Coward and Slater opened a seemingly comfortable lead only for Contello and Fitzgerald equalising for Avro Juniors to take the game past the 90 minutes.
Contello scored his second to push Avro in front but Coward levelled for Crumpsall, whose winner came from man of the match Slater with just two minutes remaining.
U14 GREENHALGH CUP FINAL
Lester edges it
BRANDLESHOLME lifted the U14 Greenhalgh Cup after a sturdy display in a tight clash with Elton Fold.
With both defences holding firm it was going to be a low scoring match and the only goal from Ashley Lester was enough to see Brandlesholme triumph.
Elton played their part in this final and Phillip Donnelly won the Man of the Match award for an outstanding personal performance.
U15 WELSHMAN CUP FINAL
Welsh success
NORDEN St Clements lifted the U15 Welshman Cup with a goal either side of half-time killing off Bury Juniors.
They took the lead with a Lester Peters strike after neat play through the middle then, in the second half, Nick Webster hit Norden's second to seal victory.
Norden's Lee Leonard was awarded Man of the Match after a solid display.
U16 RAYNER CUP FINAL
Simon's late show
AN EXCITING U16 Rayner Cup final was eventually snatched by Brandlesholme despite a strong display from Rochdale Rangers.
Both teams started quietly in a first half but things got moving in the second period when both teams wasted chances to open the scoring.
Extra-time was needed to separate the sides when Simon Gallander broke clear and slipped the ball past the advancing 'keeper.
Brandlesholme held on to their slender lead to clinch the title.
Brandlesholme broke away down the left a square ball into the six-yard box found their striker unmarked, but he hit the ball straight at the Rangers keeper. Minutes later Ranger's had a chance to break the deadlock, when the referee awarded a penalty, but the Brandlesholme keeper dived to his right to pull off a marvellous save. The game carried on in this fashion with chances created and missed by both sides. During the second period of extra time Brandlesholme broke away and a neat through ball found Man of the Match Simon Gallander and he made no mistake with a low shot passed the advancing Rangers keeper. Brandlesholme held their slender lead for the last few minutes to take the cup.
