North 3, St Martin’s 2
NORTH survived a dramatic end to a pulsating second half to claim the Rawlinson Cup at the expense of St Martin’s.

In a thoroughly entertaining affair at the Track, Ross Cameron’s side raced into a 3-1 second-half lead before St Martin’s pulled a goal back with minutes remaining.

Saints then struck the post in the dying seconds, inches away from snatching a dramatic equaliser.

Both side played excellent football throughout, striving to keep the ball on the deck and neither side could have been begrudged victory in a very even contest.
