HALLOW are through to the final of the Worcestershire Football Association Sunday Premier Cup for the first time in their history after a nail-biting 3-2 win against Stourport Swifts.
After falling behind to an early goal from the Kidderminster and District League side, Shaquille Tulloch equalised with a header at the far post.
The same player then gave Hallow the lead after the interval before a superb strike from Brad Birch made it 3-1.
In a nerve-racking last five minutes, Hallow had Andy Richardson sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity but keeper Shaun Morris saved the resultant penalty.
Stourport made it 3-2 in the last minute but Hallow hung on and will play current holders and seven-times previous champions Black Horse from Studley in the final on Sunday, April 3, at Bromsgrove Sporting (6pm).
