New Brighton in final
New Brighton moved into the final of the Hertz soccer cup after beating the southern league side, Rangers, 2-1, on Saturday. The New Brighton team opened the scoring after just four minutes through a John Mitchell-Paul Brown move, Brown finishing off nicely after latching on to Mitchell’s cross.
The jubilant Brighton side lifted its game and it was not
until the fifty-eighth minute that Rangers was allowed the equaliser.
Mike Cowen unleashed a typically powerful shot to revive Rangers chances. Extra play looked likely but eight minutes from time the young Gary McCosh took full advantage of a goalmouth scramble to steal victory and a chance at the Hertz Cup for 1988.
