10 MAY – CBC PREMIER – RBL still left hanging after last gasp draw with Jubilee – Jubilee Rangers faced Chapeltown RBL knowing that victory for either of them would guarantee the winners safety and send the loser down, but after coming from behind it looked like it would be Jubilee’s day until, in the 4^th minute of added time Morgan Cowell headed what could be a priceless equaliser that means that safety will be decided by Jubilee’s final game of the season at home to Eckington MW.

Relegation football has a habit of turning ordinary afternoons into pressure cookers, and this one bubbled right to the final whistle. RBL struck first after just nine minutes and did it in style. Full back Mikey Vella picked the ball up 25 yards out, looked up once, and absolutely rifled his effort into the top corner to hand RBL an early advantage. It was the kind of strike that leaves defenders frozen like traffic cones in a winter storm.

The opening half belonged largely to RBL. They controlled possession, dictated the tempo, and looked the more likely side to score again, but their inability to find a second goal kept Jubilee hanging in the contest - that lifeline would prove crucial.

Jubilee emerged for the second half with far more intent and gradually began to get a foothold in midfield. Their pressure paid off in the 57th minute when Ross Lamkin bundled the ball home from a corner to equalise, swinging momentum sharply in their favour. Jubilee kicked on and RBL were under wave after wave of attacks. As the clock ticked down and nerves tightened around the ground, Jubilee thought they had completed the great escape in the 85^th minute when Brendan Reid-Flanagan raced in behind to coolly slot the ball home to give them what looked like the winner.

But RBL were not done. Deep into stoppage time, Morgan Cowell rose highest in the box to slam home a dramatic header in the 93rd minute to level the game at 2-2 and send the match into chaos. There was still time for one final twist too, as Jacob Walkland came within inches of snatching survival for RBL, only to see his 96^th minute effort thunder against the crossbar and stay out. At full time, neither side could fully celebrate, nor fully despair and the relegation battle is now set to be decided in Jubilee’s final match showdown against Eckington. Action, from Ian Anderson, is below:

Stannington Village and Wickersley CC both completed their season by drawing1-1 with each other. Wickersley dominated early proceedings creating 3 great chances, hitting the post followed by some poor finishing for the others. Stannington always dangerous and very organized and they had a few chances late on in the first half before Adam Daughtrey put Wickersley In front with a header from Jacob France’s ball into the box.

Second half was very end to end, but it was Stannington that started the brightest and a penalty for handball allowed Aemad Gadour to equalise from the spot. Wickersley got back on top and made Stannington’s keeper work twice in quick succession before it became like basketball with both teams trying to get a winner. Wickersley had a penalty shout for hand ball turned down before Stannington nearly won it win the final kick of the ball, but veteran Shaun Flynn stumbled when free 8 yards out. The result means Stannington stay 2nd and Wickersley 4th.

10 MAY - DIVISION 1 – Loca take the title, but Wisewood make it tough – Loca had to come from behind to beat AFC Wisewood 4-3 and clinch the Division 1 title on goal difference over a Hackenthorpe that has to settle for the Runners-up spot. Loca started off nervously and that culminated in a missed penalty from Cammy Evans and instead it was Wisewood that, against the odds went into half time leading 1-0 thanks to a strike from their leading scorer Will Osgathorpe.

A few spoken words of encouragement and positivity at half-time saw Loca’s nerves settled and they quickly got in to their stride. A 25 yard top corner free kick goal from Ollie Grady levelled the game at 1-1 and within 7 minutes Loca took the lead through Man of the Match Cammy Evans, but a lapse in concentration let Osgathorpe in to score his 14^th of the season to make it 2-2. Loca upped the tempo to get their passing game on and went 3-2 up 10 minutes later through Curt Modest, but nerves on the sidelines were still showing until 3 minutes later when Mitch Kent made it 4-2.

The 100 plus home crowd thought it was all over, but Wisewood didn’t give up and Sam Civil grabbed their third to make the last 5 minutes very nervy. Loca managed them out though to claim a title for the 2nd season in a row and go up to the CBC Premier league for the first time.

Both Cotts FC and Kelham Island completed their season against each other and despite goals for Cotts from Reece Rogers and Ty Gunter, an entertaining game saw Kelham just came out on top, 3-2, with goals from Tommy Palmer, Alex Simons and Lewis Atkins.

10 MAY - LEADING GOALSCORERS – Belshaw and Liggins take the titles – Wadsley Bridge Sixers Chris Belshaw has completed the season as the CBC Premier and League's leading scorer with 21 goals. Just One behind him was the Division 1's top marksman, Loca's Logan Liggins with 20 goals, and he was just one in front of Crookes' Oli McQuillin
