Brize Norton beat RAF Cup holders Boulmer to reach final despite late red card

Watch: Highlights from the RAF Cup semi-final between RAF Boulmer and RAF Brize Norton

RAF Brize Norton have booked their place in the final of the 2024 RAF Cup after a 2-1 win over holders RAF Boulmer in Leek.

Zac Vale's first-half header gave Brize a deserved lead, but they were pegged back in the second half by Sean Jennings' close-range finish.

Brize did grab the winner through Allando Davis and, despite Ben Treadgold's red card, they held out for victory.

They will find out who their final opponents are next week when RAF Cosford and RAF Leeming battle in Leek.

Earlier in the day, the RAF Plate semi-final saw RAF Valley dispatch RAF Odiham thanks to a 5-4 penalty shoot-out win.
