Frome Town completed a historic league and cup double with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Portishead Town last night in the Somerset Premier Cup final at Twerton Park.
The Robins capped a remarkable season, having already secured the Southern League Division One title, but were made to work for their latest silverware after twice coming from behind.
Portishead took the lead on 12 minutes, before David Duru brought Frome level just before the break. The Robins fell behind again early in the second half, conceding on 51 minutes, but substitute Sam Meakes equalised with 10 minutes remaining to set up a tense finish.
Callum Gould then struck the decisive goal on 86 minutes to seal the win and spark wild celebrations.
The victory marks Frome’s fifth Somerset Premier Cup triumph, following successes in 1967, 1969, 1983 and 2009, but their last two finals, in 2014 and last year in 2025, have ended in disappointment.
Town fans will have a chance to celebrate the club’s first ever league and cup double in the final game of the season in a repeat fixture against Portishead Town on Saturday at Badgers Hill.
