Its the clash of the local non league season at SMS Tonight
AFC Totton and Sholing meet at St mary's tonight (Wednesday) in the final of the Hampshire Senior Cup at 7.30pm.
Both clubs contested the Zammaretto South West Division title this season with it looking like going Sholing's way for a big part of the time, but like Saints Totton came through with a barnstorming run and although they faltered a bit in getting over the finishing line as Sholing themselves looked to come back from the dead, it was Totton who put their play off heartaches of previous seasons behind them and gained the promotion to the premier division, one step from Eastleigh and effectively only three promotions from league football, a tremendous achiveement for the Club who celebrate their 125th anniversary this year and who played Saints in competitive cup action back in 1887 losing 1-0.
Sadly Sholing could not join Totton in promotion, mirroring the Stags in previous seasons the Boatmen despite finsihing runners up only two points off top spot and 16 ahead of the club that eventually beat them in the play off final it was heartbreak for the club formerly known as Vospers.
So they now meet in the Hampshire Senior Cup Final at St Mary's with Sholing out to prove a point and Totton out to make sure there is no doubt who is the top dog this season.
There is sure to be a big crowd for the game and entry is only £10 for adults and £5 for those over 65 or under 16.
