THIS season's SFA Junior A Cup final on Easter Monday will see Bush Hill take on Velmore after both teams won hard-fought derby semi-final ties at Cutbush Lane on Saturday afternoon.

Velmore took on Otterbourne A, who were quickest off the mark, taking an early lead through Tom Milczarek.

Brett Hyde equalised for Velmore before half-time and early in the second half the lively Bryan Ryves was brought down in the box and got up to fire home the spot kick to put Velmore 2-1 up.

John Howard killed of the gallant Otters with a late third.

Bush Hill also went behind before coming back to win by the same scoreline. They needed extra time, which they played with ten men after Kraig Chapman was dismissed.

Bricklayers went ahead through Adam Harris midway through the first half.

Bush Hill's equaliser was rather fortunate. Kraig Chapman's shot was going wide of the goal until a Bricklayers defender, aiming to clear the ball, ballooned it into his own net.

There was no scoring in the remainder of the 90 minutes or in the first half of extra time, but two goals late in the second half by sub Danny Watts took Bush Hill through to the final.

It will be Bush Hill's third appearance in a cup final at Stoneham and they will be hoping it's third time lucky as they lost to Malvern and Academicals in their previous visits.
