Douglas Royal won the Warehouse Fitness-sponsored Women’s Floodlit Cup final for a record sixth time after coming from behind to defeat Peel 3-2 at the Bowl on Sunday.
The westerners had taken a 2-0 half-time lead through strikes from Kira Buchan and Sarah Wignall. However, Douglas Royal produced a stunning come-back in the second half and secured the women’s season’s first piece of major silverware courtesy of strikes from Rebecca Cole (2) and Donna Shimmin.
