Lions beat Blues - Hardwell happy with start
With the tournament being named after a Nyetimber Lane legend, who passed away last year, it was fitting that Pagham should breeze past Selsey.
Ash Hawkes, Jake Heryet and Dave Crouch (2) got the goals that set up a final later in August v Worthing, who beat Chichester City 4-2 in the day's other game.

Hide AdLions boss Hardwell said: "It’s good to be back - although it's not the same with no spectators, so let’s hope In the coming weeks people are allowed back into watch the games.
"It was a great run out for the 20-man squad with new faces coming into the squad and showing us what they can do.
"Conditions were not ideal in the heat but both teams played with a good tempo throughout and we managed to control long parts of the game and securing a good 4-0 win which was pleasing after such a long lay-off."
Selsey thanked Pagham for organising the pre-season tournament. It's hope it will be an annual event, and will only get stronger when fans are allowed in.
