Red Star Mossley (1) (2) 5
Torpedo Tranmere (1) (2) 3 (aet)
As is often the case, the Cup Final proved a thrilling - and provided a goal-filled - conclusion to the domestic season, with Second Division Torpedo Tranmere - technically still, although they have just won promotion to the Championship - matching Red Star Mossley in fine style and taking them to extra time before Mossley prevailed 5 - 3 with three goals in the second period of the additional 30 minutes after Tranmere had taken the lead in the first, the initial 90 minutes having finished an equally breathless 2 - 2. For Mossley, the Cup was fitting reward for a largely irresistible run of form this calendar year that saw them finish fourth in the league, a mere three points behind champions Marine, whilst Tranmere left the arena with their fair share of glory, plaudits galore and the exciting prospect of beginning next season in the top flight.
