Nevill Juvenille Bonfire Society became the world’s first winners of the Bonfire Cup on Saturday following a dramatic penalty shoot-out with Cliffe Bonfire Society.

Cliffe were looking comfortable with a 2-1 lead in the final until a late breakaway secured a 2-2 draw for Nevill, who went on to win 5-4 on penalties.

The afternoon was deemed a success by Lewes FC Director, South Street member and Bonfire Cup organiser Ben Ward who was pleased to see all but one Lewes society accept the invitation to participate, with a guest slot being taken by Newick.

Congratulations to Nevill and a special thanks to all players and spectators who came down to the Pan and made it such a special occasion.
