19 SEP – SUNDAY JUNIOR CUP ROUND 1 – Pollard treble leaves Polo in a hole and Ellis is major – Harry Pollard hit a hat-trick as Sheffield South thrashed Worksop’s Polo Pukz and Matt Ellis also scored three as Mosborough Reds eased past the Imperial League’s Minnies. Lewis Whitaker scored twice as FC Inter won the all-Blades Super Draw tie at Shakey, and another to score two was Ben Stringer (pictured right) as Chapeltown RBL comfortably beat Mexborough’s Roman FC. Boynton Sports also faced Mexborough opposition in Bolton Ex-Servicemen’s and although Boynton came through they needed extra time in a real thriller. The other winner on the day was Beighton Magpies, who beat Rotherham’s Thorpe Hesley Village and they are joined in the second round by both Renegade and Southey Social after both their opponents withdrew

19 SEP – CBC PREMIER – Civil go top, whist Alex Ripps into Joker – Civil Sports replaced Oughtibridge WM at the top of the CBC Premier by beating them, whilst an Alex Rippon (pictured left) goal set Royal Earl on their way to victory at Joker Wickersley Youth. Crookes again showed their defensive frailties, but two Luke Hall strikes helped them come from two down to earn a point against a Wadsley Bridge Pheasant that had a two goal striker of their own in Carlton Carty. Handsworth Everest Inn twice came from behind to earn a point at AFC Dronfield and Norton Sportsman came from behind to earn a good point at Stannington Village.

19 SEP – DIVISION 1 – Eckington held by Phoenix – Early Division One leaders Eckington had to come from two down to rescue a point at home to Brinsworth Phoenix.

12 SEP – DIVISION 2 – Whitehill go top and Jubilee leave Lion Red-faced – Brinsworth Whitehill went top of Division Two with victory at Sheaf House, whilst Jubilee Rangers gave Red Lion one of their biggest defeats for a few seasons.

8 SEP – The Fixtures and Referees for SEPTEMBER & 3 OCTOBER  now shown in the Fixtures section.

They include games in the draw for the Sunday Senior Cup on 12 September and the draw for the Sunday Junior Cup on 19 September that involve Blades Super Draw League teams, but there could be changes to those cup ties in due course. It is the County FA's responsibility to tell clubs who the referees are for the Sunday Senior and Sunday Junior Cup ties, but I believe the ones listed are correct at the moment.

We are sorry that because of the Sunday Cup ties on 12th & 19th Sept, there are many Division 2 and Division 1 games without a referee on those dates. We will be trying to get some more, but given that so many are needed, we think you should assume that you won't get one, so it will be a bonus if you do. If you find one yourself, please let Keith know.

All home teams MUST make sure that their home pitch is available on all the dates shown, or, if it isn't and it's a Sunday Cup tie, find an alternative. Please email Keith immediately if your pitch is not available on a date shown. All home clubs MUST also confirm the details with your referees and opponents for all dates shown as soon as they are shown. If you are having to kick-off at a time other than 11 am, you MUST make sure that both your referee, opponents and Keith are aware.

Any team that have opponents shown as "No game yet" should NOT assume that they will have no game on that date as we have often had to change fixtures at short notice as we try to get as many games played as possible.

The home clubs should later (the Tuesday before the game) ring the referee to make sure the referee has got all the details.

If a referee says he cannot do a game listed for them, please notify Keith immediately.

Matches without referees must still go ahead and, if you have not been allocated a referee by the date of the game, the two clubs must agree on a stand-in 'referee' between them.  Although Keith will still be working to gain more referees, because we have a lower number of referees than in recent season, it is very likely that some games may not have an official referee allocated to them. If you find one yourself, will you let Keith know immediately please.

30 AUG – Ground changes for Colley and Wadsley Jack Athletic – Both Colley and Wadsley Jack Athletic have had to change pitches after Chaucer’s artificial pitch could no longer be used. Colley have moved to King Edward’s and will now share with Sheffield South. Wadsley Jack Athletic have moved to Forge Valley School and some of their games could be Sunday afternoon kick-offs.

23 NOV – List of 3G pitches approved by County FAs - The County FA has sent us the following link that shows all the FA approved 3G and 4G pitches available in Sheffield. The have sent it in case any clubs are seeking a 3G pitch during the winter months if their current pitch is unavailable.
