FOOTBALL: The Bridge earned a place in the final of the Robertsbridge Charity Intermediate Cup sponsored by AK Rother Taxi Services in a thrilling win on penalties over Rye Town. The Bridge took the lead on 12 minutes with a strike from Guy Ballard and when Curtis Coombes netted a minute into the second period The Bridge looked good for a win with Ben Hardy out-standing at the back to earn the man of the match award but Town levelled to take the tie into extra time. Paul Barnes gave The Bridge the lead again with a penalty 2 minutes from the end but the Town levelled to earn a shoot out. Bridge keeper Grant Lewis gave The Bridge the perfect start saving the first two penalties as United went on to win 4-1 and earn a final tie against Division 1 promoted side Punnetts Town at The Pilot Field on a date to be confirmed.
