MEN’S FOOTBALL: Reigan Heskey scored an 87th-minute winner as Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1 in Thursday evening’s FA Youth Cup final. City opened the scoring late in the first half through Floyd Samba, before United’s Godwill Kukonki equalised almost immediately. United have won the cup a record 11 times, including the first five competitions in the 1950s, but this was only their second appearance in a final since 2012.

The men’s final later in the day pits London Lions against Cheshire Phoenix. London finished the regular season twelve points ahead of second-placed Cheshire.

DARTS: Defending champion Luke Humphries beat Gerwyn Price 6-4 in Thursday night’s Premier League final as both players sealed their places in the end of season play-offs.

Bottom-of-the-table Josh Rock continued his miserable run with a 6-3 first round loss to Gian van Veen.
