Idle's six appeal

4:49pm Monday 12th May 2008

Idle lifted the open age League Cup final for the first time by beating Leeds City 6-3.

Lee and Matty Mathers both scored twice in the first half to give their side a commanding 4-1 half-time lead.

But it was game on after the break when Idle goalkeeper Steven Sample conceded a penalty and a Leeds striker produced an audacious lob to make it 4-3.

However, a free-kick from Tom Duck was converted into his own net by a Leeds defender before a goal from Chris White sealed victory.
