25 NOV –
Fixtures & Referees for 5 December –
Fixtures and Referees for 5 December are now shown in
the Fixtures section of the website. There are two games without
referees yet and it could be that I can't get any more as 7 referees
have already told me that they are unavailable that day. Will all the
home teams ensure that they confirm the details with both their
opponents and referees where shown ASAP.
We cannot put the fixtures and
referees for 12 December on the website yet as the County FA has not yet
completed the draws for the Sunday Senior and Sunday Junior Cups due to
be played that day. I will get them on as soon as the draws are known
and I have been able to complete which league games can then be played
and which referees I have available. We will also then add the fixtures
for 19 December, although many teams have chosen to not play that date.
If anyone hasn't yet told me they don't want a game on 19 December, they
need to do so before Monday 29 November.
All home teams MUST make sure that
their home pitch is available on all the dates shown. 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. 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.
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. |
It’s hoped to play the delayed Wadsley Bridge Pheasant v New Bohemians tie on 5 Dec, with the Quarter Final ties to be arranged for dates in January. 22 NOV – Shakey FC resign – It is with regret that the League has accepted the resignation of Shakey FC. We thank their management for giving people an opportunity to play football and their efforts to try to keep the club going. All their games this season will be removed from the records.
21 NOV –
League statement –
It was brought to the League’s attention that Crookes FC had played a
substitute in their League Cup tie win over Civil Sports that wasn’t
included on the team sheet. The player was correctly registered with the
League, so it was purely just a simple oversight in leaving his name off
their team sheet. Unfortunately, a player not included on the team sheet
is deemed to be ineligible and League Rule 13 states that if a player in
a League Cup tie is ineligible in any way, his team is expelled from the
competition for that season. Therefore, even though the League believes
Crookes just made an honest error and did not deliberately do this to
gain any advantage, the League has no option other than to expel them
from this season’s League Cup. Civil Sports will take their place in the
next round.
Cotts won a thriller 4-3 against a The Garrison yet to drop a point in
Barnsley’s Division One. Chris Salt gave Cotts a two goal lead, but the
visitors had levelled before half time and took the lead soon after the
break. Cotts levelled through Michael Blythen and in the last few
seconds won it with a Cal Shaw header.
Also beating a Barnsley Division One side was Boynton Sports who put out
Darfield Cross Keys 3-0. All the goals came in the first half. Ethan
Wilkinson had an early effort chalked off by the referee, but a second
effort gave Boynton the lead. Roan Heeley’s perfect cross allowed Lee
Jordan to double the lead and with man of the match Kurtis Cockburn
controlling midfield a third soon came when Isaac Reardon’s cross
allowed Jordan to score his second.
Division One leaders FC Inter saw off Division Two Chapeltown RBL 3-1,
but it was RBL that struck first when Adam Todd crossed for Dave Millen
to head home. RBL almost doubled their lead when the Inter keeper
parried a shot which saw Morgan Cowell put the rebound narrowly over the
bar. Inter had a slice of luck to level when a cross took a deflection
off a defender past his own keeper and they took the lead soon after
when the Chris Lees rifled in to the top corner from 30 yards. RBL
pressed for an equaliser in the second half and saw several shots
blocked in the area and made a strong claim for a hand ball in the area,
but as they pushed men forward an error at the back gave Sam Read an
open goal to clinch it.
Sheffield Sixs pipped fellow Division One side Wadsley Jack Athletic on
penalties after a 2-2 draw. Matt White gave Wadsley an early lead, but
it was soon cancelled out by Harry Buxton when he rounded the keeper
before scoring. The second half saw George Utley win a penalty for Sixs
and Liam Davies slotted home, but Wadsley took the game to extra time
with a Ross Lamkin strike. With no further goals in extra time it went
to penalties and it went Sixs way 5-4.
Just three of our teams went out to non-Blades Super Draw teams. Despite
a Liam Milne goal giving Beighton Magpies a second half lead, they
collapsed near the end and lost 4-1 at home to Rotherham Division One
leaders Ravenfield Cavaliers. The other two lost to teams that should
really have been in the Senior Sunday Cup. Jubilee Rangers produced a
terrific performance before going out 2-1 to an AFC Royal currently top
of the Doncaster Premier. Jubilee shocked their hosts when Jack Shaw
gave them the lead and it wasn’t until the second half when the hosts
levelled and they cruelly won it with a last gasp penalty. Mosborough
Reds were outclassed 7-0 at a Birdwell Rovers unbeaten in the Barnsley
Premier.
That
result allowed Joker Wickersley Youth to go top after Kallum Nix
(pictured left) scored one and made one in their narrow 3-2 win over
title rivals Stannington Village. Stannington took the lead when
Harrison Case crossed for Jack Haslam to power home a header. Parirs
Dixon almost levelled for Joker when he saw his thundering shot rebound
off the bar, but Nix had more luck when his free-kick beat the wall
before going in off the bar to send the teams in level at the break.
Just 5 minutes into the second half Dixon got his goal after Ben
Thornton had flicked the ball into his path, but Stannington hit back
when Bill Green headed across the box for Haslam to tap in his second.
21 NOV – DIVISION 1 –
Southey and Intake share the spoils –
The only Division One game played saw
Southey Social come from two down to claim a 2-2 draw with close rivals
Intake Old Boys. Dan White and Patrick O’Brien goals gave Intake a two
goal lead at the break, but a Jordan Livett free kick and a Kieran
Hopkinson penalty rescued a point for Southey.
21 NOV – DIVISION 2 –
Water Tower too much for Sheaf – The only Division Two game saw a
single Blaine Pashley strike give Water Tower a 1-0 home win over Sheaf
House. |
Sam Marsden also hit three as Handsworth Everest Inn eased past the
Imperial’s Terminus Tavern 5-3. Terminus missed a great chance to take
the lead when they hit the post with a penalty and they paid dearly for
it as Marsden’s three together with one for Liam Greenfield and a Ryan
Goodinson penalty gave Everest a five goal lead. Terminus didn’t give up
though and pulled three back as Everest took their foot off the pedal
and it would have been closer had Terminus not missed a second penalty
After Paul Clements early opener had been cancelled out before
half-time, second half goals by Joel Purkiss and Max Rhodes gave Crookes
breathing space at the Imperial League’s Bradfield Parish. They needed
it as well as the home side scored a second, but Crookes held on to win
3-2.
14 NOV – CBC PREMIER –
Hardwick lifts Joker and Sam’s the man for Dronfield –
Alex Hardwick netted twice as Joker Wickersley Youth climbed to within a
point of the leaders with a 3-1 away win at Civil Sports. Hardwick gave
Joker the lead when he received the ball on the edge of the area before
curling it in off the bar. A last ditch tackle stopped Hardwick adding a
second, before a great Jamie Bailey save stopped Civil from equalising.
Civil did equalise in the second half when the ball dropped to Bart
Grzywa just inside the box and he finished to the keepers right. It
wasn’t long before Joker regained the lead when Will Hunter found
himself in space on the right and he crossed for Josh Kirkland who
flicked it round his man before volleying into the too corner. Bailey
pulled off and unbelievable save low down to his right to keep Joker
ahead and it was Joker that sealed the victory when Joe Austin cut the
ball back for Hardwick to score his second from the edge of the box.
Sam Porter netted twice as AFC Dronfield moved out of the bottom three
with a 4-0 home win over Norton Oaks. He gave Dronfield a first half
lead and his second, along with two more from Josh Sell and Joe Taylor
completed Dronfield’s first home win of the season.
14 NOV – DIVISION 1 –
Peacock makes Boynton Proud, but Inter stay top –
Marc Peacock hit a hat-trick as Boynton Sports came from two down to
narrowly beat Southey Social 4-3 in a real thriller. Elliot Fox and Todd
Guest goals gave Southey a two goal lead, but Peacock netted his first
to reduce the deficit before half time. Peacock netted his second after
the break to level the scores, but a second by Guest put Southey back in
front. Peacock completed his hat-trick to level the scores a second
time, before Curtis Priday hit the winner in a game both sides described
as an excellent game of football. Boynton stay fourth though after the
top three all also won.
Eckington remain third after their emphatic 5-0 home win over New
Bohemians. A good start for Eckington saw them take the lead in the 18th
minute when a looping cross rebounded off Owen Ryan and rolled into the
goal. It was soon doubled when Ryan was tripped in the box and Tom
Gambles put away the penalty. Eckington continued to dominate in the
second half and increased their lead when Ryan Hannon slotted home from
close range after being put through one on one. The fourth came when a
good cross into the box was headed home by Daniel Biggin and the last
came when Harry Bell’s shot flew in off the post.
14 NOV – DIVISION 2 –
Lion and Jubilee keep the pressure up on the top two –
In Division Two Red Lion, with a 3-2 victory at Renegade, and Jubilee
Rangers, with a 4-1 home win over Water Tower, both closed up on second
place Mosborough Reds, but Beighton Magpies lost ground after drawing
1-1 at Sheaf House. Jamie and Matt Lindsay goals for Renegade were
beaten by three set piece goals by Mike Parker, Jack Joyce and Dan
Beech, but Lion needed a last gasp clearance off the line to keep their
lead.
Jubilee Rangers went ahead through Josh Jackson, but Jacob Rickards had
Water Tower level at the break. Water Tower probably knew it wouldn’t be
their day when two own goals put Jubilee in charge before Alfie Smith
added their fourth.
Beighton Magpies took the lead in the first half with a Kier Storey
strike, but the second half saw Sheaf push them back and their pressure
saw them win a penalty, only to see it saved by Beighton keeper Jack
Thorpe. Sheaf kept pushing though and just five minutes from time Henry
Bradshaw equalised to set up a tense finish. |
Brinsworth was temporarily reduced to 10 men when Ross Johnson was given
a sin-Bin and Jubilee capitalised to take the lead again through Josh
Jackson. Brinsworth levelled a second time when Finney teed up Joe
McGuinness to find the bottom corner from 25 yards and with 10 minutes
left Finney charged down the Jubilee keeper and cheekily pinched the
ball off him to tap home into the empty net.
Crookes beat fellow CBC Premier Civil Sports 2-1 with two John Brelsford
strikes beating one from Jordan Turner, and the other all-CBC Premier
game saw Handsworth Everest Inn win 4-1 at Oughtibridge WM. Oughtibridge
scored first when Charlie Cope finished well from a corner, but Everest
levelled when Liam Greenfield was tripped in the box and Perry Jackson
scored from the spot and they went in front before the break when Ryan
Goodinson’s weak effort found its way past the keeper. The second half
saw both Jackson and Goodinson add their second and Jackson missed a
terrific chance for a hat-trick when he blazed a second penalty over the
bar.
Royal Earl beat Division Two Water Tower 4-0 in a fast and frantic game.
Chay Kingswood’s goal was the pick of the bunch, along with others from
Matt Morton, Sam Smith and a bullet header from a corner by man of the
match Michael Towey. There was a major downside for Earl though with
Reece Cahill suffering a broken leg.
Joker Wickersley Youth also beat a Division Two side 4-3 in a real
thriller at Chapeltown RBL. Almost went ahead when Parirs Dixon hit the
post, but when RBL had the chance they didn’t miss. Morgan Cowell put
the in-form Denham Saxton through and he confidently finished. Joker
levelled when Dixon received an Adam Daughtrey through ball and found
the bottom corner. Joker then went in front when Tom Duty brought Joe
Austin down in the area and Ben Thornton thumped home the penalty. They
doubled their lead when Dixon collected Alex Elwell’s pass before
finding the bottom corner from just outside the area.
The delayed Round Two game saw New Bohemians win 2-1 at fellow Division
One side Brinsworth Phoenix. After a goalless first half, it was Phoenix
that struck first when John Mellor gave the ball to Logan Pearce and he
lobbed the keeper from 35 yards, but Bohemians levelled when Matt Beck’s
shot bobbled through the keeper’s hands. It could have gone either way
after that, but it was Bohemians that went through after Jono Cooper
curled a shot into the top corner. They will now travel to WB Pheasant
for a place in the quarter final on a date to be arranged.

NOV – CBC PREMIER –
Stannington just pip Oaks – In the day’s only CBC Premier game bottom club
Norton Oaks made a real game of it before falling to a narrow 2-1 home
defeat by title chasing Stannington Village.
The nearest to a goal in the first half was Jack Haslam’s effort that
struck the Oak’s bar, but Stannington scored soon after the break when a
deflection in the box fell kindly for Shaun Flynn to tap into an empty
net. Their lead was doubled with an unfortunate own goal, but Oaks
didn’t give up and Michael Peake smashed one against the bar, before
later combining with Mike Nuttall to round the keeper and slot it calmly
home.
What allowed South to move up was a surprise 7-2 defeat for Eckington at
Southey Social. The game saw possibly the fastest goal on record as
straight from the kick off Kieron Hopkinson saw the keeper off his line
and scored. Two goals from Jarrod Lomas & Elliot Fox made it four by
half time and although Eckington pulled one back early in the second
half Fox and Junior Wheeler strikes kept Southey in command. Eckington
pulled a second back, but Todd Guest had the final say with Southey’s
seventh
That defeat dropped Eckington to third and just a point behind them is
Cotts after their narrow 3-2 victory over Colley. Chris Salt put Cotts
ahead with a penalty, only for Chris Onjia to level. Salt put Cotts back
in front, but Colley hit back again through Chris Parkes. Colley looked
likely winners until a cruel bounce hit the keeper in the face and left
Lewis Reid the simple task of scoring what turned out to be the winner.
Beighton Magpies climbed to third after a 3-1 victory over Shakey. Dale
Featherstone (pictured right) opening the scoring for Beighton with a
calm finish, but soon after a nasty clash of heads led to a player from
each side going to hospital for treatment. After a lengthy delay, the
match restarted and just before half time Harry Bolsover netted to
double Beightons lead. The second half saw Jamie Rogers pull one back
for Shakey after they were awarded a penalty, but with Shakey throwing
everything at Beighton for an equaliser, they were caught out by a swift
counter attack and Featherstone scored his second with the final kick of
the game. |
