Wrawby took the bragging rights this morning, avenging their defeat to the Ulceby Veterans last year by running out 5-2 winners.
Wrawby took the lead early in the first half, with Kian Haughey's deflected effort flying past Paul Blythin in the Ulceby goal.
Ulceby soon levelled up with Scott Lee lashing home from close range, only for Wrawby to grab two quick-fire goals through Charlie Ledbury and Oliver Mallet.
Max Clark then reduced the arrears, stabbing home following a goalmouth scramble and then thought he'd equalised soon after only to be denied by a questionable flag from the linesman.
Ulceby started the second half in the ascendancy, with Wrawby seemingly happy to sit on their 3-2 lead.
Alex Dunn could have levelled things up for the home side when he latched onto a superb Jay Maddison pass, but could only hit his shot against the keeper when clean through and then Wayne Beresford thought he'd won his side a penalty when he was sythed down in the area only for the referee to wave it away.
Wrawby continued to soak up the pressure, then hit Ulceby with a classic counter attack by breaking in numbers resulting in Sean Christian firing home and then Simon Webster was unlucky to put through his own net following a melee in the area.
Wrawby then looked to be matching last year's score against them when they were awarded a penalty, but Paul Blythin was equal to the spot kick saving smartly low down to his left.
So congratulations to Wrawby who level things up at 1-1 and take possession of the trophy for the next year.
