Dons claim maiden trophy win
31 January 2008
Andrews had missed two good chances to break the deadlock but kept his cool to steer in from the spot before O'Hanlon thumped a late header in to seal the win.
Ince's men were the better side throughout but counterpart Alan Buckley was left to rue a penalty miss of his own when Danny Boshell's first-half effort was saved by Willy Gueret.
Ince's side started brightly but were caught out on the break in the 19th minute. The lively Peter Till dribbled forward and hit a shot which hit O'Hanlon and spun away. Paul Bolland chased it down and nicked it over Gueret who brought him down.
Referee Phil Joslin pointed to the spot after his linesman flagged and although Boshell struck the kick firmly, Gueret dived to his left to palm the ball to safety.
Ince's men were cutting through at will in the second half and the breakthrough finally came in the 73rd minute with the second penalty of the afternoon.
Cameron found space on the left-hand side of the area and sent in a superb strike which left Barnes rooted to the spot but hit the far post.
O'Hanlon reacted first but his side-footed effort was tipped onto the post by the recovering Barnes. However, the referee awarded a penalty for a push on Danny Swailes by Nick Hegarty after the linesman had controversially raised his flag for what appeared to be an offside decision.
Nevertheless, Andrews stepped up to place the ball in exactly the same spot as Boshell but crucially sent Barnes the wrong way for his 13th goal of the season.
And Barnes was again helpless in the 81st minute when Cameron's inswinging corner was met inside the six-yard box by O'Hanlon with a powerful header which went in off defender Rob Atkinson.
