Banstead almost caused a shock when they took Spartan League Champions, Hampton, all the way to extra time in this League Cup Final at Staines Town. Banstead’s, Peter Chase gave Banstead the lead after 5 minutes, after which there were several near misses at both ends. It wasn’t until the 85th minute that Hampton equalised through Morris. The equaliser was celebrated by a mini-invasion of younger Hampton supporters. Allen scored in the 106th minute, before Timberlake put the issue beyond doubt in the 118th minute.
That's it for now, planning to do a new set for next season.
