Assistant Referee Richard Latteman supervises the penalty takers, but one person obviously doesn't want to watch!

Setting the tone for the FA Cup Final which followed, on a blazing hot day it took 120 energy sapping, goal-less minutes and 20 penalties before Christ Church East Greenwich eventually overcame Hayes Ambassadors in this season's Mike Laxton Cup Final

Having missed two previous opportunities to win the game, Christ Church eventually were grateful to last-minute replacement Nassos Stylianou, whose penalty went in off the underside of the crossbar to clinch victory in a well-fought, end-to-end game which neither side deserved to lose.
