Thankfully Joe is back home and on the mend. Callum Foster hit 3 as Hackenthorpe kept their perfect record with a 4-0 home win over Ecclesfield Blues.

Oaks went 2-0 up but an Olli Grady header and one from Callum Spencer had Loca level by half-time. Another from Spencer and one from Logan Liggins looked to have won it for Loca, but Sheaf hit back to level at 4-4 until Cam Evans, just 10 days after having his appendix out hit the winner for Loca.
Another Division 1 team to go out was Crookes who suffered a surprise 3-2 defeat at Barnsley's West Bretton. Division 2 Wadsley was the other team to go out, 4-2 at Rotherham Spartans. There was many big wins for our teams going through, with Harry Murphy netting 4 as Woodman Intake hit 10 and Spencer Rains hit 5 as Brunsmeer AJW hit 9 and Cueball also hitt 9.

They are top by scoring a single goal more than Stannington Village who have also won 3 out of 3 and have the same goal difference. Their latest win was 4-1 at home to Wadsley Bridge Sixers, but it was a narrower win than the scoreline siggests. Luke Beedham gave Sixers the lead, but Brandon Bradbury levelled just before half-time. Stannington went ahead on the hour when Aemad Gadour was brought down in the area and Charlie Hobson netted the penalty. Stannington added a third when Bradbury fed Luca DeFalco and Bradbury was again involved to help Sami Eric hit their fourth.
Another with 3 from 3 is Royal Earl after Leon Salmon-Howarth hit a winner in a 1-0 win at Boynton Sports. Champions Chapeltown RBL gained their first win of the season, 4-2 at Jubilee Rangers. An owngoal put RBL on their way to a 4-0 lead, but Jubilee showed real spirit to net twice and they might have had more. It's the same for Eckington MW who gained their first win, 3-2 at AFC Dronfield. After Tom Onions was brought down, Dan White put Eckington ahead from the penalty spot and they doubled their lead soon after half-time when Owen Ryan turned his marker to fire home. Ross Dawson came off the bench to pull one back with a deft flick over the keeper, but after seeing a second penalty saved, Eckington did get a third from Owen Bradshaw. Dawson beat the offside trap to net a second for Dronfield in the final few seconds of the game.

Granville Grayson RIP –
The League was extremely saddened to hear
about the passing this last week of Stannington Village stalwart Granville
Grayson. A terrific gentleman, Granville formed the club in 1968 and has
been with them every step of the way ever since. They started in the
Hallamshire Sunday League where they won both the League title and League
Cup twice. They then joined the Blades Super Draw and with his guidance he
helped make Stannington Village the League's most successful team. They
joined the League in 2001/2 season winning Div 2 at the first attempt,
followed by Div 1 in 2003, when they completed a Leage and Cup double.
They then won the CBC Premier at the first attempt in 2004. With Granville
at the helm, they won the CBC Premier a total of 7 times and were
runners-up 8 times. They won the League Cup 3 times and were runners-up 4
times. Granvilles dedication to Stannington and grassroots football is
unlikely to ever be equalled and he will be sorely missed by his family,
friends, the League and everyone who knew him. We feel honoured to have
known him.
