Frome Town Sports have won the Pied Piper promotions A and B Cup after beating Lavington in a penalty shoot-out in the final at Westbury United on Friday.
Lavington were playing in their second cup final in three days after beating The Deverills 3-1 after extra-time in the Knockout Cup on Tuesday.
The first half hour saw total domination by Lavington but they were unable to score. Frome then came into the game and missed several chances to leave the score at 0-0 at half-time.
The second half started in the same vein as the first, with Lavington being on top but again they failed to take their chances. Midway through the half two Frome players clashed heads resulting in one going to hospital for stitches.
The resulting substitution seem to inspire Frome and they dominated the last 15 minutes, but the 90 minutes finished goal-less.
Extra-time was played out in the same fashion as the first 90, with both teams unable to break each other down and the dreaded penalties became inevitable.
Ashley Doel stepped up first for Frome and sent Mike Barton the wrong way for 1-0. Myles Hickton levelled for Lavington and then Jordan Lawrence (Frome) and Luke Chant (Lavington) made it 2-2.
Frome captain Lewis Collier made it 3-2 before Jamie Bayes saw his shot saved by Dean Evans. Peter Sturman then scored to make it 4-2 to Frome, but Rob Jenks kept his cool to make it 4-3 to keep Lavington in it. Substitute Ian Kennedy then put the game beyond Lavington as he slotted home to make the final score 5-3 on penalties.
