3 June 2008 - FC Brimington's Euro Glory

FC Brimington's end of season trip to Amsterdam was a real triumph for the Blades Super Draw side as they completed two victories over Dutch semi professional sides. First came a 5-0 victory over Honselerdrijk from den Hagg, with Gordan, Gartlan 2 and Christie 2 grabbing the goals and, if that wasn't impressive enough, they followed that up with an astonishing 14-2 victory over Leonidas of Rotterdam. The League's leading scorer Michael Gartlan again showed his prowess in front of goal with five, while their others came from Gordan 3, Christie 2, Fadiga, Simpson, Leversidge and Brooke. Former Barcelona manager Frank Rijkard met the team and he must have been impressed with the standards he saw. - See Latest News for more details of the games.

9 May 2008 - Handsworth lift the cup

A Matt Sykes strike in the first half of extra time saw Handsworth WMC win the League Cup Final at Bramall Lane and deny Woodhouse West End a League and Cup double. It was perhaps fitting that the Man of the Match trophy went to Handsworth skipper Scott Abramski (pictured below) as it was his defensive display that proved to be the foundation of Handsworth's historic victory.

West End just shaded the first half, but some good saves by Handsworth keeper Liam Richardson kept them at bay and it was a similar story in the second half. Spencer Taylor went closest when his shot flew just past a post, but Handsworth started to have more of the game as it went into extra time and it was no surprise when Matt Sykes found himself in the clear and although West End keeper John Badkin got something on the shot, he couldn't stop it finding the net.

West End pressed for an equaliser after that and almost snatched it when their skipper Dale Fuller forced another save from Richardson, but when the ball went loose, a piece of desperate defending saw the ball hacked clear and Handsworth held on to lift the cup for the first time. See Latest News for more pictures from the final.

8 May 2008 - Abacrombie take the Prague Cup

New Division One champions Millhouses Abacrombie completed their season in style by bringing the Prague Cup home from the Czech Republic. Keeper Mark Davies is pictured left lifting the trophy, while right is Adam Sturch celebrating with the cup.

The tri-team tournament featuring Czech side Dynamo Zizkov and RAF Waddington from Lincolnshire, first saw Abacrombie stage a miraculous comeback from 3-1 down to beat the host side 5-4, with four goals from Tom Gardiner.

Dynamo took lead after sloppy defending in the 2nd minute and despite a Mark Allen equaliser Millhouses went 3-1 down after more poor defending. However, Millhouses hit back with two quick goals before half time from captain Tom  Gardiner, the second a smashing finish after great work down the wing from Will Dallman. Zizkov again took the lead after half-time but it was Gardiner's day as he completed his hat-trick from close range and then hit the winner in a one on one.

After RAF Waddington had beaten Dynamo 5-2, the tight and tiring decider saw the RAF boys go one up only for Ally Berry to waltz around 3 defenders before finishing low to keepers left. Chances were few and far between and pens followed. Adam Sturch and Ally Berry scored their pens whilst Mark Davies was once again the hero, saving two of Dynamo's pens before hitting the winning penalty himself. Left is one of Mark Davies's penalty saves, while pictured right is Tom Gardiner after receiving a shield from the RAF team to mark his feat as the tournaments top scorer.
