Richmond Rovers goalkeeper, Daniel Hamshaw has starred in his sides Anzac Day Cup victory.

The long limbs of Hamshaw were the difference between his side and Bangalow in the Tursa Employment & Training FFNC Men's Premier League Anzac Day Cup Final held in East Lismore on Thursday.

The first half saw Bangalow have the better of territory, with several attacking opportunities shut down by a desperate and scrabbling Rovers defence and several good saves from Hamshaw.

Rovers best attacking chance in the first half came from a free kick that came within centimetres of sailing over the Bluedogs keeper.

Bangalow striker Josh Cole hit the post with just 2 minutes left before the main break, to be denied possibly their best chance.

Both sides went to the break scoreless.

The second half was a similar story, with several attacking raids coming up short for both teams.

The game was still tied at 0-0 at the end of normal time and the large crowd were set for an exciting finish.

Extra time could not separate the two sides and the match was to be decided by penalties.

It was in the shootout that Hamshaw's reach and reaction proved to be the difference.

The keeper, who has been a regular in the Championship Division in recent years, proved to be the difference, with several spectacular saves to give Rovers a 4-3 win.

Fittingly, Hamshaw was presented with a deserved Player of the Final Award after the home sides warranted celebrations.

Five more Finals will be played between Friday and Sunday to conclude the first set of 2024 trophies.
