Everton were crowned as Junior Section champions of the Milk Cup last night after a penalty shoot-out win over Cruz Azul.

It means the Toffees have now collected the trophy three times in the last four years, such is their dominance of the tournament.

Between the two finalists they had notched up 14 goals between them in this year's tournament, but they proceeded to cancel each other out in the decider, with 60 minutes of football finishing scoreless.

The ensuing penalty shoot-out finished 5-4 to Sean Lundon's boys as George Newell confidently sent the goalkeeper the wrong way to net the winning kick.

Everton skipper Jon Joe Kenny then picked up the trophy before he was mobbed by his jubilant team-mates and covered in the obligatory spray of milk.

It was hard luck on Cruz Azul , who had their chances, including an early effort from Andrew Mellado, which he sent over the bar.

Ruan Ledson then went close for Everton before Sergio Fuentes dragged an effort just wide for the Mexican side as the game remained scoreless at the break.

After the break Everton goalkeeper Richard Griffiths denied Mellado and then Roger Solis as the clock ticked down and eventually took the contest into penalties.

Ipswich Town finished third in the Junior Section after they won their final game against Danish side FC Nordsjaelland in Castlerock.

Town fought back after conceding an early goal to win what was a tight affair.

Mathias Jensen put Nordsjaelland in front after 20 minutes, but substitute Cemal Ramadan scored the equaliser just seven minutes later and he put his side into the lead 15 minutes into the second-half.

Ramadan came within a whisker of his hat-trick with five minutes left as he hit the post, but George Clarke was on hand with an easy tap in to make it 3-1.

Ipswich academy director Sammy Morgan said afterwards: "It was a good finish to the week for us, after not losing a game in the tournament.

"It was hard to follow on from Thursday night's defeat on penalties as I felt we were very unfortunate, but the boys picked themselves up very well."

Co Tyrone won their second penalty shoot-out in as many days as they claimed the Globe Decider against Co Armagh after a goalless draw, earning boss Paul Kee the award for best county side in any section at this year's tournament.
