However, Vets found a second wind and equalised courtesy of a smart finish from Dave Care who then rifled a shot in off the post in the 84th to give his side the silverware.

Nutt’s own goal put Murphy’s Bar ahead before he struck in the right net a minute before the break to restore parity.

David Jones put Murphy’s Bar back in front on the hour, but Nutt’s second of the game took the tie to penalties which HRI won 4-2.
