Huge shock in Portsmouth Sunday League Challenge Cup as sixth tier Soberton knock out top flight North End Cosmos in 11-goal thriller

Four goals from Cosmos striker Brendan Ebireri couldn't stop Soberton from progressing.

Cosmos led 4-3 at half-time but Soberton, playing some of their best football of the season, came out fighting and were rewarded with a further three goals - eventually winning 6-5.

On target for Soberton were Anthony Swift (2), Andrew Easton (2), Jordan Farnden and Harrison Green.

Ebireri, meanwhile, now has 15 goals in just five league and cup outings for Cosmos this season.

Cross Keys Athletic claimed a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Bransbury Wanderers.

Keys were ahead at half-time when Johnny White took advantage of a poor clearance to score.

Early in the second half Keys had the opportunity to extend their lead when awarded a penalty, but saw their spot-kick saved.

Wanderers levelled from a free kick but White scored his second after latching on to a Jamie Hayden through ball.

Bransbury Reserves are also out after a 5- 0 defeat to Freehouse Reserves B, goals coming from Craig Shaw, Ian Forte, Lewis Clarke, Terry Boscoe and Jordan Lane.

Probably the game of the round saw top flight FFTP claim a remarkable 9- 7 victory over Division 3 leaders Jewellventus.

Four goals from Brandon Jewell - taking his tally to 26 for the season in just six games - couldn't stop FFTP from progressing.

Imon Khan (3, Issa Bangura (2), Samad Sapara (2), Mahee Uddin and Jamal Ahmed were on target for FFTP.
