Reading win their first HA Cup final

Hockey:

Reading, appearing in their first HA Cup final, lifted the trophy at Milton Keynes yesterday. After extra time in a bruising and at times ill- tempered match with Old Loughtonians the score was level on 2-2. Britain's goalkeper Simon Mason dived to save Jason Lee's penalty stroke in the shoot-out after the teams to give Reading the Cup 3-2.
