Gattuso's Revenge celebrate winning the inaugural Antonio Folmi Cup

Gattuso's Revenge sprang a surprise by beating Specsavers 1-0 in the final of the inaugural Antonio Folmi Cup.

James Williams scored the only goal of the game with a first-half penalty.

Revenge had to hold off some late pressure from Specsavers, the IAG Saturday League Champions, but become the first name on the trophy.

Revenge captain Stuart Le Flocq said: "They've beaten us three times this season but we knew if we stuck to our game plan we had a chance."

The new Guernsey competition was inaugurated by Antonio Folmi's widow, Kim, who presented the trophy in memory of her husband, who died in 2008.

The President of the IAG Saturday Football League, Rod Hamon, feels the competition is an appropriate tribute to a fondly-remembered social league player.

"He played Sunday League football for a number of years," Hamon explained. "Football was his love and he passed away at a very early age. His wife wanted his name remembered and fortunately it has been a great success."
