Forest Green Rovers Women were victorious in the Gloucestershire FA Trophy final after defeating 3-2 Pucklechurch in dramatic fashion.

Rovers nearly broke the deadlock in Almondsbury after nine minutes when Estelle Randall was played through on goal, but her lob sailed over the bar.

Pucklechurch opened the scoring when a free-kick from 25-yards-out sailed into the top corner, beating Ameliah Yarwood in the Rovers goal.

Forest Green equalised 10 minutes later, with Randall finding the target this time. She rose highest to meet a cross from the right.

Rovers should have taken the lead shortly after the interval. Ellie Briscoe squared the ball to Randall, but the forward was denied her second by the Pucklechurch 'keeper.

Hattie Jones then tried her luck from just outside the box, but the Rovers captain saw her effort deflected wide for a conrer.

Pucklechurch regained the lead when a mishit cross from the right found its way into the back of the net.

With the minutes ticking down, a cross from the left was floated into a dangerous area, but Katie Jones couldn’t divert the ball home.

With just over five minutes left to play, Nynka Rucker broke through and slotted the ball past the Pucklechurch ‘keeper to bring the game level. Hattie Jones then had the chance to give Rovers the lead for the first time, but her header from a wide free-kick was saved.

It was a dramatic finale as the pacey Rucker was sent in-behind in the dying seconds, and she was once again calm in front of goal, smashing home the winning goal - as Rovers won the Gloucestershire FA Trophy.
