Soaker hose

Good afternoon all. 
Might seem like a silly question but is there such thing as a hose pipe end cap? We have a soaker hose to use but don’t need the water to come out the end just the bits along the length. I have looked at B&Q but can’t see an end cap for a hose pipe and looking online I can only see plumbing type fittings for pipe etc? Does anybody have any recommendations please. Maybe I don’t have the right name for what is required when searching. Thanks in advance!

    The one I bought came with an end cap.  Failing that, a piece of dowel pushed into the open end, secured with a jubillee clip should do the job.

    Mine came with an end cap too, but you can buy them on Amazon and ebay if your GC doesn't have one.

    My soaker didn't have an end cap so I folded the end over twice and tied it with wire.
    5 yrs on it's still good.
