Travers got the nod to go up for the corner, and the rest, as they say.
Ireland goalkeeper Mark Travers did his best Roy of the Rovers impression on Tuesday night after his interventions at both ends of the pitch secured the Hampshire Senior Cup for Bournemouth.
The 21-year-old made two penalty saves after scoring a stoppage-time equaliser for the Cherries under-21s against Eastleigh.
An already eventful game saw Eastleigh leading 2-1 with seconds remaining at Snows Stadium, with Travers having made one spot-kick save in the first half.
The best was yet to come however, as the former Shamrock Rovers keeper rose impressively to head home compatriot Gavin Kilkenny’s corner and take the final to a shoot-out.
