22 MAY – Chapeltown RBL get the Nod over Earl at Chesterfield FC to win in the League Cup Final -

The Blades Super Draw League Cup Final between holders Royal Earl and Chapeltown RBL played at a superb Chesterfield's SMH Group Stadium saw Chapeltown win the cup for the first time 3-2. It was a terrific head-to-head of the champions for this and last season.

This season’s League Champions Royal Earl went into the game as firm favourites to complete the double and it was their leading scorer Leon Howarth that had the best chance of the first half the best chance, but seeing his effort go wide. Owen Cooke looked lively for RBL, but the half remained goalless.

The second half saw five goals, with the first coming two minutes in. Danny Booth burst from midfield and fed man of the match Josh Nodder (pictured right collecting his Man of the Match award), and his right foot shot found the bottom corner. Boosted by that Chapeltown continued to look the more dangerous team and Alex Mosley’s sweetly struck volley hit the inside of the post and somehow stayed out, but just past the hour mark that man Nodder added a second when he cut inside and fired home from the edge of the area, leaving Earl keeper Dylan Parkin no chance.

The Earl goalkeeper then made two great saves to keep it at 2-0 and his work was rewarded minutes later when Earl reduced the arrears with a Sam Fewkes free header from a corner. That gave Earl the momentum they had been missing and Legion had to make changes to weather the storm. On 89 minutes one of those changes, Morgan Cowell (pictured right), was sent through and he made no mistake by rounding Parkin and slotting home.

The fourth official indicated 6 minutes injury time, and on the stroke of 95 minutes Earl made it 3-2 through Tom Bishop, but RBL saw off the last few seconds - resulting in Chapeltown skipper Niall Smith deservedly lifting the trophy.

The win means Chapeltown RBL have now won the titles in Division 2, Divison 1, the CBC Premier and the League Cup in successive seasons - the most successful period the club has ever seen.

The League is indebted to Chesterfield FC's Media Manager Nick Johnson and everyone at Chesterfield FC for helping to make it a terrific night for players and spectators alike - their welcome, hospitality and organisation was terrific. More pictures from the game are below:
