Saints led via a penalty before adding a second prior to the interval, before Colden were reduced to ten early in the second half, but Crofton held out after Colden were reduced to ten following a sending-off.
Crofton could well make it a cup double success on Tuesday evening (13th) in the Hampshire FA Trophy, as they take on Tadley Calleva Reserves at AFC Stoneham (7.45pm).
The George Mason Memorial Shield that preceded also saw two late red cards for Denmead, but it didn't impact the outcome, as Liss Athletic claimed their first silverware since 2015/16, recovering from an early defecit to run out 4-1 winners (Photo: Simon Jasinski)
