SAXTON Rovers twice came from behind to see off a determined Division 2 outfit Westminster 4-3 to book their place in the final of the North Berks Charity Shield, writes RICHARD UNDERWOOD.

Westminster took a surprise lead when Simon Joyce fired home a free-kick from 40 yards, then just before the break, they extended their lead as Harry Ackland fired home.

Saxton pulled one back through Tom Stanley, and with five minutes left, Danny Parry fired home a penalty to level the scores.

Westminster regained the lead a minute later as substitute Jason Hillis headed home, only for Saxton to level again in the final minute as Parry netted his second.

In extra time, with penalties looming, Saxton clinched victory when Parry set up sub Daniel Cox, who headed home the winner.
