HOLYPORT stunned Premier Division Flackwell Heath as they beat them 3-2 on Tuesday night in the AM Print Floodlit Cup.

However, the Heathens showed their class in the opening stages with Port caught in the headlights.

Adam Paget smashed the visitors in front after eight minutes but that sparked the hosts into life.

Lewis Driver had an effort blocked, Jamie Handscombe headed over and the keeper saved well from Scott Chapman.

Flackwell started the second half brightly an doubled their advantage when Mitch Woodward let rip from 30 yards to beat Matt Collis.

Heath were then reduced to 10 men and Port cranked up the pressure with Driver pulling one back in the 71st minute.

A Rapley free-kick was caught by the keeper who appeared to be nudged over the line by Adam Sharp but the goal was awarded and the keeper given his marching orders for dissent.

The winner came in the 87th minute courtesy of a free header from Arron Coleman.
