Highgrove Utd 3, Lakeview 1 ESFC Premier Cup, Semi-Final

First Division leaders Highgrove Utd showed steely determination to come from behind and defeat Lakeview on a windy morning.

Despite condeding a goal after just 45 seconds Highgrove took the game by the scruff of the neck and eased back into it courtesy of some good work by the right-back, who followed up his free-kick to plant a killer ball back into the fray to be lifted over the advancing keeper. It was 2-1 by half-time and game over following a third not long into the second period as a promotion and cup double now beckons for Roy Smith and the "Orange Army"
