MAR
- TWENTYTWO LEAGUE CUP –
DeFalco double
as Stannington hit back and Earl join them –
Luca DeFalco (right) scored twice as
Stannington came from two down at half time to beat Joker Wickersley
Youth CC 3-2 and take their place in their 7th Final. Joker
took an early lead when James Hardeman latched onto the ball on the 18
yard line and hit the ball past the diving keeper. Ben Thornton then
went close to doubling the lead when he hit the post from distance, but
soon after he was more successful when he slid the ball home to give
Joker a two goal lead at half-time.
After the break only a world class save by Stannington keeper Harvey
Middleton from an Adam Daughtrey bullet stopped his side falling further
behind and his work gained further reward on the hour when the ball fell
to DeFalco and he smashed the ball into the top corner. It was soon 2-2
when a shot by Seb Robbemond was diverted home by DeFalco. Joker
responded and it took another fantastic save by Middleton to push Nathan
Taylor’s downward header round the post. Joker then had an effort
cleared off the line among a clutch of other close calls, but it was
Stannington that completed the turnround when Tom Staniland’s corner was
headed home by sub Jack Haslam
They will meet Royal Earl, who will be in their 3rd final
after skipper Jonno Williams tremendous early free kick sent them on
their way to a 3-0 victory over Woodman Intake. Earl doubled their lead
when Alex Rippon took advantage of some hesitant defending to force the
ball home with the help of a defelection. Earl continued to look
threatening every time they came forward but Tyler Crossland in the
Woodman goal kept his side in the game. The second half was much the
same as the first with Woodman finding it hard to make any impression on
the Earl defence and Crossland was much the busier of the two keepers.
The goal that finally settled the tie was a terrific solo effort by Joe
Pearson, taking the ball from the halfway line past a string of
defenders before scoring.
24 MAR – CBC PREMIER –
Pheasant stun the leaders, and Platts is in 7th heaven –
Wadsley Bridge Pheasant stunned leaders Chapeltown RBL with a 2-1
victory over them to boost their hopes of avoiding a bottom three
finish. The game started slowly and it remained goalless approaching
half-time, but after George Rudd had missed a glorious chance to put
Pheasant in front, Chris Steer showed him how to finish to give Pheasant
the advantage at the break.
Rudd
(left) had obviously learned the lesson as the second half was just a
minute old when he latched onto a long ball before volleying home to
double Pheasant’s lead. Pheasant perhaps should have increased their
lead further and almost paid for it when RBL made some changes and
pulled one back when Josh Savage rounded the keeper before sliding the
ball home. RBL pushed for the equaliser, but the Pheasant defence held
firm without too many scares and RBL suffered their first league defeat
since October. Chapeltown are still strong favourites to take the title,
but it will have given others more hope that they can catch them.
Another
to boost their hopes of avoiding the drop was Oughtibridge WM as Connor
Platts (right) scored seven times in an 8-3 win over an Eckington side
sliding dangerously close to the drop zone. Daniel Biggin and Adam
Sydall twice gave Eckington the lead and even after Oughtibridge got
their noses in front, Eckington made it 3-3 when Pat Stothard cross was
turned into his own net by a defender. Oughtibridge regained the lead
just before half-time and that gave them all the encouragement they
needed and Eckington just couldn’t stop Platts from scoring. Arnie
Grayson netted Oughtibridge’s other, but it was Platts that stole the
show, setting a new record for the League’s top division. It’s just over
four years since anyone else scored 7 in a League game - Jack Hawkes in
a Division 2 game for Brinsworth Phoenix, and it was just one short of
the record 8 scored by Michael Blythen in a Division 2 game for Cotts in
2015.
24 MAR
– DIVISION 1 –
Dronfield
almost there, but South’s chances hit by Boynton –
AFC Dronfield need just one more win to confirm
their promotion to the CBC Premier Division after their 2-0 victory at
Mosborough Lions. Both goals came in the first half, with Ross Dawson
hitting the first and Sam Porter the second after Dawson had been
brought down in the area.
Jubilee Rangers stayed
hot on the heels of the leaders when they completed their home games
with a 2-0 victory over Mosborough Reds. A quick free-kick allowed Liam
Hill-Simmons to score early, but it was tight after that and it was late
in the game before Mason Hunt rounded the Reds keeper before scoring the
clincher.
Sheffield South’s
chances don’t look too good though after they suffered a heavy 7-1
defeat by promotion rivals Boynton Sports. A Curtis Priday hat-trick,
two from Lee Jordan and one each for Issac Reardon and Jake Bonnett made
Jim Pollard’s goal for South of little consequence, but the result saw
Boynton climb above their hosts into third.
24 MAR
– DIVISION 2 –
Cueball are
promoted, and Cotts stay in the chase –
Cueball became the first team to confirm promotion
this season as Travis Hodgson took his season’s tally to 23 with four in
their 6-1 win at Wadsley FC. Farrell Cawthorne and Matt Herrington
netted Cueball’s others, with Wadsley’s reply coming from Jordan Lewis.
Cotts
stayed in the promotion hunt after coming from three down to win 5-4 at
Royal Oak (Dronfield). Josh Sugden, Neil Rhodes, Jack Larissey and an
own goal gave Royal Oak a 4-1 lead at half-time. Michael Blythen’s first
half penalty gave them some hope and when Jacob Lally’s corner curled in
to make it 4-2 Cotts poured forward. When Joe Moaks was brought down
just outside the area, Sam Stacey produce an unstoppable free kick to
make it 4-3 and Cotts levelled when a left wing cross was met by Alex
Calton’s left foot. Cotts completed the turnround when Andrew Swift’s
cross was met at the back post by Blythen (right) to score his second
and the winner.
Norton Oaks earned their
first away win of the season with five different scorers at Steel City
Dons giving Oaks a 5-0 victory. Laurence Jeffrey-Badger’s corner was
tapped home by Jordan Noble for Oaks’ first and Jeffrey-Badger scored
the second with a free kick into the top corner. A Tom Blacksell penalty
made it three before half-time and after the break Tom Holden’s header
was met by Tom Adams looping toe-poke into the top corner. Holden
completed the scoring with Oks’ second penalty of the day. |
