AMESBURY Town retained the Salisbury Hospital Cup with a dramatic penalty shootout win over rivals Laverstock and Ford.

Tuesday night's final at the Ray Mac went all the way to penalties after Danny Finnigan cancelled out Tom Mundy's opener as it ended 1-1 at full time and at the end of extra time.

Blues kept their nerve in the shootout to win 4-2 for a second piece of success.

It came after the Bonnymead Park outfit had an end of season training camp, after securing promotion from Sydenhams Wessex Division One, in Magaluf.

They now have a two-month break before preparing for next season in the Wessex top flight.

Oxford City, from National League South, have been confirmed as their first pre-season friendly opponents.

That game is set to take place in mid-July.
