Two Albion teams contested the final with the Blues emerging victorious.

Two BHAFC Foundation sides competed in an all-Albion final for the Matt Major Disability Cup.

Cameron Huet-Nimmo struck the winning penalty as Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation Blues became the latest winners of the Sussex Matt Major Disability Cup at the GoCardless Stadium in Lancing.

The match ended 1-1 after 50 minutes, paving the way for penalties. After 14 spot-kicks, Huet-Nimmo converted the winning penalty before the Reds missed with their final effort.

This was the first time a Foundation side had won the Matt Major Disability Cup – the showpiece event for disability football in Sussex – since its inauguration in 2024.

James Vidal had put the Reds 1-0 up early on, before Fin Burrowes slammed in a rebound to equalise for the Blues.

Phil Broom, Disability Football Manager at the Foundation, was proud of how both teams performed in the final.

The Red team finished runners-up in the Matt Major Disability Cup final.

“Everyone enjoyed a really entertaining final between two great sides, and we’re all very proud of how the players and coaches have represented the Foundation.

“This final has been a great advert for our disability football programme, and we are really pleased that a Foundation side has won some silverware.”
