FOOTBALL - Hampton stun Knowle to lift Les James Challenge Cup trophy

TOM Kinsey’s injury-time goal saw Hampton stun local rivals Knowle to lift the Les James Challenge Cup.

Kinsey headed in Luke Benham’s free-kick four minutes into injury time to win the trophy for Hampton.

Defeat for Knowle saw the Robins miss the chance to win the competition for a third successive year.

The game was originally due to take place Walsall’s Bescot Stadium.

However, Walsall’s involvement in the play-offs meant the game took place at Bedworth United’s Oval ground.

And the game’s only goal came at the death as Benham delivered a dangerous ball into the box from close to the left touchline which Kinsey guided into the right corner of the goal.
