FOOTBALL: Peacehaven thrash Wick in RUR Cup final

Wick never got their game going and were 2-0 down after just nine minutes.

Peacehaven went ahead in the fifth minute when Callum Saunders' cross found Wes Millis at the back post. His shot came off Wick keeper Alex Bryant and rebounded off Wick midfielder Lee Barnard into the goal.

Within four minutes, Peacehaven had been awarded a penalty when Saunders was tripped by Ben Buckland and Saunders got up to score from the spot.

Peacehaven moved 3-0 ahead midway through the half when Tom Burton headed home a Saunders free kick.

Wick had their first effort on goal in first-half injury-time but substitute Phil Turner sliced his effort well wide.

Wick's Daren Pearce shot just over on 49 minutes before Peacehaven got their fourth two minutes later through Ashley Rees.

Saunders nodded home his second on 65 minutes before he completed his hat-trick from a Clive Snell cross on 72 minutes.

Wick got a consolation with two minutes left when George Gaskin brilliantly lobbed home from 20 yards after Phil Turner was denied by Peacehaven keeper Jake Buss.

WICK: Bryant; Torode, Buckland, Sharman, Freitas; Gaskin, Pearce, N.Murfin, Barnard, Huggett; S.Murfin. Subs: Turner (Sharman 25), Bassil (S.Murfin 61), Wrigley (Freitas 73), More, French.
