FA Trophy final: Aldershot Town 3-0 Spennymoor Town

The Shots fans that made the trip to Wembley travelled in great numbers, and with over 18,000 tickets sold they packed out their allocated quarter of the ground.

Before the match, their supporters were bouncing as the players made their way to the pitch, a sea of red and blue throwing balloons and streamers into the air.

It was the National League side’s Wembley debut after they beat Woking 2-1 to progress to the final, while Spennymoor, of the National League North, reached the final after beating Rochdale on penalties.

Despite being smaller in number, the Spennymoor supporters still made a decent noise, with a big group of their fans packed into a section behind the goal as well as further along the stand.

It was Aldershot who had the first real chance, a cross was whipped in from the right and forward Barham’s glancing header sailed just wide of the far post.

After 20 minutes Spennymoor had a brilliant chance to take the lead. Finley Shrimpton burst down the right and charged into the box, laying the ball off to Rob Ramshaw, but his weak attempt fell right into the grasp of Aldershot keeper Marcus Dewhurst.

The Shots then went up the other end and Barrett forced a tremendous save from Brad James as the Spennymoor keeper palmed away a dangerous curling effort.
