APR – CBC PREMIER – Chapeltown RBL
take the title for the first time –
Chapeltown RBL beat Joker
Wickersley Youth CC to confirm their first ever League title - a deserved
reward for all the hard work Dave Adams and Adam Todd have put into the
team. After winning the League 2 and League 1 titles in the previous two
seasons, Chapeltown RBL clinched their third title on the trot sweeping
Joker Wickersley aside 5-1. Elliott Simpson opened the scoring after 8
minutes with a trademark free kick. Man of the match Niall Smith doubled
the lead when Jed Phillips found him on the half way line, and following a
marauding run he coolly slotted home on 20 minutes. 3 minutes later Jay
Carter made it 3 with a left foot finish, after good work by Luis
Afonso-Ferreira. Early in the second half Joker were awarded a penalty for
holding, which was well dispatched by Matthew Langley. Top scorer Jed
Phillips regained RBL's three goal lead with a calm finish, and when Mikey
Vella found Morgan Cowell on the edge of the box, he fired home to make it
5-1 on 85 minutes to seal the title in style. Chapeltown are pictured
right with the trophy.
Eckington BFC put themselves a point further
away from the bottom three with a draw at Stannington Village. Eckington
took the lead with a Tom Gambles penalty, but it was cancelled out when
a Jon Wall cross was sliiced into his own net by an Eckington defender.
Stannington then took the lead when a Luca DeFalco shot was parried by
the keeper, but Shaun Flynn was on hand to put home the rebound. It was
then Eckington's turn to level when Pat Stothard netted, but Stannington
looked to have won it when Flynn put Wall through to score. Eckington
claimed their point in the final minute with a Brad Spencer strike and

pounced on the rebound to score. Eckington hit back and levelled the
scores with a Pat Stothard strike and only the woodwork twice stopped them
taking the lead. It was Joker that won it though when Jacob Pearson found

to score.

After the break a Rhema Obed strike levelled the scores, before a real
screamer for McQuillin’s second won it for Crookes.
Although Mosborough
Lions got a point from a 3-3 draw with Southey Social, their situation
looks precarious. Harry Wareham gave Lions a half-time lead with a good
strike after a quick break, but Southey soon levelled after the break when

cross was pulled back to Max Howard and he scored from the edge of the

Chapeltown almost there –
Leaders Chapeltown RBL are just one win away from their first League title
after their 5-2 victory over Oughtibridge WM.
Chapeltown RBL hosted Oughtibridge at Jubilee Sports Club due to a
waterlogged home pitch and RBL were fast out of the traps when Brandon
Whitfields perfect pass in the first minute found Luis Afonso-Ferreira who
beat the keeper to the ball. Oughtibridge equalised after 13 minutes with
a quick free kick routine, Jed Phillips put Legion back in front on the
half hour after good work from captain Josh Savage.
It stayed that way until
64 minutes when a well worked Oughtibridge move levelled the scores. RBL
responded with Harley Wilson’s raking ball sending Whitfield through and
he rounded the keeper to put RBL back in front. Morgan Cowell made it 4-2
by finishing well from a Whitfield cross and the scoring was complete when
Adam Todd crossed for Cowell, who saw his effort well saved, only for
Phillips to get his second and 16th goal of the season.
Royal Earl kept themselves in the race with a 2-1 victory at Stannington
Village – a defeat that means that Stannington cannot now retain the title
they won last season.
Ashley Cooper put Earl
ahead with a looping cross that caught the Stannington keeper out and Joe
Pearson made it 2-0 inside 15 minutes with a lovely cushioned header after
a great cross from Matty Ord.
Stannington had a great
chance to get back into the game before half-time when they were awarded a
penalty, but Jacck Holmes dragged his spot kick wide. On the hour mark
Stannington did pull one back when from a Jon Wall corner saw a goal bound
header from Dave Shepherd glanced in by Shaun Flynn. Stannington pushed
for an equaliser but Earl defended well to take all three points.
Joker Wickersley Youth CC are technically still in the title race after
their 6-1 victory over an FC Inter.
In very windy conditions Joker opened the scoring with a James Hardeman
strike from the edge of the box. FC Inter equalised soon after with a
beautiful effort from Yassine Teache caught the keeper in no-man’s land,
but in the second half it was then one way traffic.
Alfie Miller put Joker
back in front by calmly finishing a great cross from Nathan Taylor, before
an Adam Daughtrey free kick assisted by the wind looped over the keeper
into the top corner to make it 3-1.
A Matt Claxton long ball forward saw Ben Thornton go one on one with the
keeper who he rounded to make it 4-1. With little time left Thornton
turned provider, cutting the ball back for Michael Cuckson. Matt Godley
had a chance to put himself of the scoresheet but with what only could be
described as the miss off the season kept him off it, but Daughtrey scored
his second with a strikers finish into the far right corner to complete
the scoring.
Woodman Intake also look doomed for the drop after their 4-3 home defeat
by a Sheffield Sixs now 7 points clear of the drop zone.
After a goalless first half, Sixs took the lead straight after the break
when George Utley was brought down and Luke Allison covered the penalty.
Ross Lamkin made it 2-0 on 52 mins when he capitalised on a goalkeeper
error to slot the ball home, but quick goals from Oliver Currie and Harry
Murphy levelled the scores. Ben Southwell restored Sixs lead on 65 mins
with a stunning striker into the top corner, but a second from Murphy had
Woodman level again. It looked like that would be it until, with virtually
the last action of the game, Chris Belsaw won it for Sixs when he headed
home from a corner.

Boynton close
in on promotion, while Dronfield celebrate –
Boynton look certain to be promoted after their 4-1
victory over Sheaf House. The game started a bit frantic with Sheaf giving
as good as they got, but once it settled, Boynton started to control the
game and a crossfield ball by Jake Gamban was played back across the box
for Richie Atkin to tap in. Boynton added a second before half-time when a
great through ball by Lee Jordan was slotted home by Curt Priday.
The second half saw
Boynton come out fast and Lee Jordan got his first with a great finish.
Boynton then made a number of changes and Sheaf started to get a real
foothold in the game and left back Nile Ions scored after a great run and
bottom corner finish. Sheaf managed a few more chances, but the Boynton
defence held firm and when Boynton sub Nathan Fletcher was introduced he
calmed the game down. Boynton, with man of the match Ben Jordan rolling
back the years with an excellent midfield performance, retook control and
Lee Jordan added his second from a Alastair Holland through ball.
Leaders AFC Dronfield
already knew they were up and they celebrated their promotion as two Ross
Dawson goals and a terrific team performance gave them a 2-0 victory over
second place Jubilee Rangers. The result was a blow to Jubilee’s title
aspirations, but it’s still very close at the top.

Cotts keep
their hopes alive, and Winter Green look Ruddi good –
Cotts kept their slim
promotion hopes alive with a 5-1 victory over Norton Oaks. Chris Salt took
his season’s League and Cup tally to 16 with a hat-trick, with Cotts other
two coming from Ryan Simmonite. Norton’s goal came in the second half when
Kyle Grantham tackled the keeper and Chris Pigott chipped the keeper and
defender into the open net.
Ryan Ruddiforth netted
four times as Winter Green scored their third away win of the season, 5-1
at Chapeltown FC. Tyler Doman opened the scoring for Green after 5 minutes
before Ryan Ruddiforth added a second before half-time. Chapeltown were
their own worst enemy by creating and missing chance after chance, but
Harry Byrne pulled one back for them after they were awarded a penalty.
The second half belonged to Ruddiforth though as he showed his opponents
how to finish by adding three more.
