24 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. The teams and action from the game sre below:

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. The teams and action from the game are below:

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.
