Clifton knock out holders

Ipswich, the holders, went out of the AEWHA Cup yesterday, beaten 4-2 at home by Clifton, whom they beat in last year's final. Clifton will play Hightown in the final at Milton Keynes on 25 May, writes Bill Colwill.

Juliet Rayden scored after three minutes for Clifton and Tracy Fry equalised with a penalty stroke on half-time. But two goals from Denise Marston- Smith and one from Tammy Miller sealed Ipswich's fate despite Vicki Sandall's second for them at the death.

Hightown won 2-0 at Doncaster thanks to goals from Linda Carr in the second minute and Maggie Souyave in the 59th.

In the Under-19 championship Olton, with a 100 per cent record, won a third successive title.
