12 OCT – SUNDAY CUP – Just the Legion left after they squeeze through on pens  – Only Chapeltown RBL survived Round 2 of the Sunday Cup and they needed penalties to squeeze past Thorpe Hesley Village. Village took a first minute lead when the RBL keeper Fox did well to keep out a Ward shot only for Yates to follow up to score. Village then had chances to extend their lead, but it was RBL that equalized when Elliott Simpson hit an exquisite free kick past the keeper.

The second half saw Village go back in front when Blake was dragged down bySimpson and Yates netted his second from the penalty spot. RBL hit back when George Noble put Luis Afonso-Ferreira through to finish in –off the post and despite going down to 10 men they held on to take the game to penalties. Harley Wilson, Charlie Cope, Morgan Cowell and skipper Alex Mosley all scored their penalties to leave keeper Fox to take the plaudits with an outstanding save to his left.

There were defeats for Stannington Village, 4-0 at Westville, Boynton Sports, 3-0 at Edlington Top Club, and, despite taking an early lead through Carlton Carty and another after half-time, Southey Social went out at 7-2 at home to Caulfield FC.

12 OCT – CBC PREMIER – Earl back level with the leaders and Eckington stay in touch  – Royal Earl went level at the top with a 3-1 home win over Wickersley CC. Etan Hobson gave Earl the lead when he beat his man and finished from a tight angle. Tyler Williams scored a debut goal when he cut in from the left before hitting a thunderous strike from 15 yards. Joe Pearson made it 3-0 after a Sam Smith flick-on from a corner. Wickersley never gave up and got a deserved consolation goal from Jacob France

Third place Eckington maintained their good start with a 2-1 home win over Wadsley Bridge Sixers. A tight first half saw both teams have chances, but just before the interval it was Eckington that struck first when Pat Stothard finished a quick break in the six yard box. They doubled their lead just after the hour when Jamie Bonsor cut in from the left to hit a screamer past the keeper, but they were made to hang on after Sixers pulled one back through a Chris Belshaw penalty.

Jubilee Rangers and Woodman Intake played out an entertaining 2-2 draw to give them both their first point of the season. Jubilee were gifted the lead with an own goal, but Woodman levelled with a Kain Murphy header. Woodman were then indebted to their keeper Thomas Pearson for a string of saves and his work was rewarded when Jibreal Alsubari gave Woodman the lead. They couldn’t hold it though as Jubilee gained a deserved share of the points with a Ross Lamkin penalty two minutes from time.

12 OCT - DIVISION 1 – Loca and Kelham share 13 goals while Shark and Villa share 10 – 13 goals were scored as leaders Loca won 8-5 against Kelham Island. Logan Liggins hit a hat-trick and new signing Mikey Meggison and Oli Grady both netted two for Loca along with a single for Curt Modest. Kelham can take some heart from the game though after being 4-0 down at the break two from Alex Turner and one each for Pete Stringer, Amine Ben-Nasser and ???? saw them win the second half 5-4!!!

Thorncliffe Villa kept their good start going with a 6-4 victory at Baby Shark. Shark looked to be on their way to their first points when Keiron Tobin-Sykes and Keenan McKenzie gave them a two goal lead, but a crazy last five minutes of the first half saw Kenzie Stocks pull one back, Finn Taylor lob a stranded keeper from 35 yards to level and Dylan Farmer calmly beat the keeper when through 1 on 1 with the keeper to give Villa a half-time lead.

After the break Stocks, Taylor and Farmer all netted their second to give Villa a 6-2 lead, but the scoring wasn’t over as Julian Lawrence and Keir Storey both found the net for Shark.

Hackenthorpe FC had to come from behind to stay second with a hard fought 2-1 victory over Crookes. Dylan Murphy gave Crookes the lead but Hackenthorpe levelled when a James Goodwin strike beat the Crookes keeper with the help of a deflection. The winner came in the second half when Travis Vintin played a superb ball  to Goodwin who then set up Chad Gibson to score. Vintin and Ashton Thompson were outstanding as Hackenthorpe held on for the win.

A Matt Ellis strike on the stroke of half-time proved enough to give Mosborough Reds all three points with a 1-0 victory at Cotts. Charlie Clark, Charlie Wheatley, Harry Groombridge and an own goal gave Brunsmeer a 4-2 victory at Norton Oaks despite goals from Ross Wakefield and Dan Hartley for the home side.

5 OCT – LEAGUE CUP – Holders scrape it, but Villa through – The holders Chapeltown RBL only had an early Charlie Tunnard penalty to thank to go through 1-0 at Mosborough Reds. Neither side created many chances, with Jake Leonard and Will Hotchin going closest to an equalizer for Mosborough Reds.

The only Division 1 team definitely through is Thorncliffe Villa after their comfortable 4-1 victory over fellow Division One side Cotts FC. Villa were on the front foot from the start, but against the run of play it was Cotts that took a half-time lead through a Jacob Lally strike. Villa levelled just 3 minutes into the second half with a Mackenzie Stocks header, but it looked as if it would go to penalties until 2 minutes from time when s Josh Hall strike gave Villa the lead. A minute later Blake Wightman increased the lead and a minute later Sam Harpham made it 4-1.

Division One leaders Loca FC fell to a narrow 2-1 defeat at former holders Wickersley CC. Both sides missed massive chances to take the lead, but when one came Ben Thornton’s way he gave Wickersley a half-time lead. After the break it was an even game and Loca eventually got themselves level with a Cam Evans strike. As the game neared its end Wickersley pressure saw the force a series of corners and James Hardeman took advantage of one to give Wickersley the win.

AFC Wisewood also lost narrowly, 2-1, at another former holder Nailmakers. A terrific Dan Beech strike gave Nailmakers a half-time lead, but Wisewood levelled when a Lucas Hiley shot was deflected past his own keeper by a defender. If that was a bit of luck for Wisewood, the same could be said about Nailmakers winner with a shot hitting Nicky Owen before beating the keeper.

Southey Social progressed after Norton Oaks decided to withdraw from the cup. Wadsley Bridge Sixers also went through against AFC Centre Spot. Woodman Intake’s tie at Brunsmeer was postponed and will try again at a later date to be decided.

5 OCT – CBC PREMIER – Stannington go clear at the top – Stannington Village went 3 points clear at the top with a narrow 1-0 win over second place Royal Earl. Leo Higgins had a 25 yarder brilliantly tipped over the bar by the Earl keeper in the first half and Ema Gadour should have done better with a header in the second half. Gadour also had another header saved by the keeper, but when a Brad Worsfold corner saw Jack Cawthorne rise majestically at the back post the Earl keeper had no chance. Charlie Sheperd should then have double Stannington’s lead, but he was thwarted by yet another good save by the Earl keeper. In the last 10 minutes Earl threw the kitchen sink at their hosts, but the Stannington defence held firm to go top.

It was stalemate for Boynton Sports and Eckington MW where the conditions were the big winners and the game ended goalless.

5 OCT - DIVISION 1 – Hackenthorpe just nick it, but Crookes Mac & Curry too hot for Shark – Hackenthorpe had a narrow 2-1 victory over Kelham Island to go level on points at the top. Kelham took the lead with a Josh O’Reilly strike when they had the better of the conditions. The second half saw Hackenthorpe go level when Dez Windle put skipper Chad Gibson in, and after he was brought down in the area he picked himself up to score the penalty. With Harvey Staniland proving influential for Hackenthorpe at both ends of the pitch, their winner came when sub Aston Thompson turned sharply in the box to fire home the winner.

Crookes had a very comfortable 6-1 win over struggling Baby Shark to go fourth. Harvey Allatt headed Crookes into an early lead before Henry Curry made it two. Oli McQuillin then added two more before Curry grabbed his second. Fabian Johnson pulled one back for Shark after the break, but McQillin had the final say by completing his hat-trick.
