Ryan Fagan nets a hat-trick as Royal Engineers put five past Royal Artillery in cup semi-final

The Royal Engineers are through to the final of the 2025 Woolwich Cup after a 5-0 thrashing of the Royal Artillery in Chatham.

Ryan Fagan, one of the heroes of the British Army's Inter Services triumph last month, scored a hat-trick to fire the Engineers into a final showdown against the Royal Logistic Corps, who beat the Royal Signals in extra-time on Monday.

Franklin Fitzmaurice and Kimron Quashie were the other scorers for the home side.

• Military rally drivers jumpstart season strongly at Bovington Stages Rally
• Sean Woolley strikes twice as RLC beat Royal Signals in extra time to reach cup final

This cup run coincides with the 150th anniversary of perhaps the Royal Engineers football team's greatest day - winning the FA Cup in 1875.

Fitzmaurice grabbed the opening goal in style with a long-range strike that flashed past the Artillery goalkeeper.

Quashie netted from close range in the first half before the Fagan show began as he scored a penalty to complete a hat-trick.
