A LATE header from Graham Poole sealed a first Essex Sunday Junior Trophy triumph for Wickbeech as Maiden were beaten 2-1 at Wivenhoe Town.
In a hard-fought showpiece at Broad Lane, Poole nodded home Bobby Hardy's centre with just 60 seconds remaining to clinch the trophy after a young Maiden side had pegged Wickbeech back just after half-time.
The game started slowly, but Wickford-based Wickbeech took the lead on 20 minutes when Tim Bird stabbed home Hardy's low corner from close range.
