TOWN BOYS were beaten from the spot in the West Riding Trophy final against East Leeds, losing a penalty shoot-out 6-5 at Woodlesford – the game finished 1-1 after 120 minutes of play.
Leeds started brightly and took the lead after 10 minutes when a well-flighted corner was headed home at the far post.
After a spell of Leeds pressure Town Boys eventually got into the game and Damian Murray had a shot blocked.
They equalised just before half-time when Farouk Hussain made a powerful run into the penalty area to slot a low shot past the keeper.
The second half was even with Rizwan Safdar creating chances and Damien Murray working well out wide, and in extra-time both sides had chances, with Leeds putting Boys under intense pressure.
In the penalty lottery, which ended 3-3 after the first set of five, Leeds took the trophy when their keeper saved Boys’ third spot kick in the ‘sudden death’ phase.
