Three players who stood out as Bristol City proved the future's bright with cup triumph

Bristol City Under-18s held their nerve in a dramatic penalty shootout to lift the GFA Senior Challenge Cup with victory over Cheltenham Town at the High Performance Centre.

The Robins looked set to seal the win in normal time when Jed Meerholz headed home in the first half as they asserted their class with a dominant first half performance.

Cheltenham came out of the blocks with more impetus in the second half and had their tales up after Adulai Sambu missed from close range before Tom King's effort came back off the crossbar. Just as it looked as though City weathered the storm, Brandon Liggett drilled home from distance with eight minutes to play.
