30 MAR – CBC PREM – Earl hit back to end Sixers title hopes, but Stannington stay in the chase – Leaders Royal Earl now need one more win to claim the title after coming from two down to beat Wadsley Bridge Sixers 3-2, ending Sixers title hopes. Earl looked dead and buried after 60 minutes as goals from Harry Holland and Chris Belshaw had given Sixers a two goal lead, but a goal from Tom Bishop made it 2-1 and a couple of minutes later a back heel from Leon Howarth brought the scores level. That man Howarth then won it for Earl in the final two minutes with a screamer from inside box.

Up to second is Stannington Village after they won 2-0 at Chapeltown RBL. Stannington took a first half lead when a pass from Leo Higgins found Luca DeFalco who beat the full back before smashing it in off the underside of the bar. They doubled it after an hour when Jack Holmes found DeFalco and he cut inside to once more hit the roof the net.

A Ben Thornton hat-trick helped Joker Wickersley to a narrow 3-2 win over Boynton Sports. Boynton started very well and deservedly went in front through a Jake Gamban goal, but with the wind at their backs it was Joker Wick that started the second half much better and got a deserved equaliser through Thornton. It was quickly followed by another one from Thornton but Boynton looked to have gained a deserved point with a Brookes goal, until a Thornton header completed the scoring and his hat trick.

Another close win came at Oughtibridge WM where Jubilee Rangers came out 2-1 winners Jubilee travelled to Oughtibridge to continue their fine 2025 form and after a slow start Jubilee carved the most chances and got the breakthrough when a long ball to Adam Darton was nodded down to Sam Phillips who controlled it and on the half volley beat the keeper from 25 yards to give Jubilee a half-time lead. After the break, Jubilee continued their persistence and created numerous chances, but it was Oughtibridge that found a slick move to allow Josh Hunnam to equalise. Jubilee rallied and it was Sam Phillips again when following a crisp through ball, he took the ball into his stride and rifled home the winner.

30 MAR – DIVISION 1 – Leaders Nailmakers see off Reds, but Cueball snookered by Brunsmeer – Leaders Nailmakers opened up a six point gap with a 3-0 victory at Mosborough Reds thanks to an opener from leading scorer Dan Beech and a brace from veteran striker Nicky Owen.

Cueball slipped to a surprise home defeat, 3-2 by relegation threatened Brunsmeer AJW. Goals from Dan Ashton and Tom Charlesworth weren’t enough as a Gaz Murdoch double along with one for Taylor Askam saw Brunsmeer shock their hosts.

Cotts are in even greater danger off the drop and are 7 points ftrom safety after losing 6-4 at home to an AFC Wisewood that were just a place above them. Despite a first half hat-trick by Sam Holman-Gavin and one from Michael Blythen for Cotts, goals from Hadfield 2, Wright 2, Daley and Osgathorpe saw Wisewood take the points.

30 MAR – DIVISION 2 – Leaders Loca on the verge of the title and Hackenthorpe close in on the promotion pack – Leaders Loca need just one point from their last two games to be certain of the title after their 3-2 victory at fellow promotion hopefuls Darnall Urban. A Cameron Evans goal for Loca was cancelled out by a JI Greaves strike to leave the scores level at the break, but man of match Ollie Grady put Loca back on top with a quality free kick in second half. Richard Spinks set Danny Richards up to score a third for Loca and although Anthony Greaves netted a second for Darnall it was Loca that took the points.

Hackenthorpe could be joining the promotion party after their 5-2 victory over Norton Oaks means that just 3 points separate the 4 teams behind Loca. It wasn’t straightforward though and a shock win for Oaks looked possible when Chris Pigott flicked a throw in on for Tom Blacksell to give them a lead they held until half-time. The second half saw Hackenthorpe quickly equalise with Man of the Match Callum Foster netting with a great toe poke finish. Oaks then had a great chance to go back in front when they were awarded a penalty, but keeper Tyler Crossland made an amazing save to keep the scores level - his 4th penalty save of the season.

Hackenthorpe then took control, with Nathan Ward putting them ahead with a good finish, before Foster with a great outside of the boot finish making it 3-1. Oaks didn't give up though and after missing a great chance they pulled one back when Blacksell's corner was touched home by a defender.

Hackenthorpe then produced a great team goal when great ball outwide by Jack Brear to which Kydn Gray did brilliant to whip in a great cross for Kai Prescott to complete it with a great finish to make it 4–2. Ward scored his second with a good finish to complete the scoring.

The Baby Shark v AFC Centre Spot game had to be abandoned after a hole appeared in the pitch, making it dangerous for the players.

23 MAR – CBC PREM – Stannington end Earl's unbeaten run to keep the title race going – Leaders Royal Earl missed the chance to clinch the title when dropped points for the first time this season, beaten 2-0 by Stannington Village. For Stannington it was a fitting end to their Malin Bridge home of almost 30 years as it was their final game there. Stannington took the lead when a shot from Luca DeFalco was blocked, but fell to Charlie Hobson who finished well into the roof of the net. It stayed like that until the break, but it was a compelling game with both sides giving everything and Stannington keeper Harley Middleton made two great saves soon after the break to keep his side in front. Earl couldn't find a way through and it was Stannington that sealed the win when Charlie Staniland cut inside before finding DeFalco who turned the full back inside out before finishing left footed into the far corner.

The result means Earl still have to win two of their final four games to be certain of the title and they face second place Wadsley Bridge Sixers next weekend - a game Sixers must win if they are to stay in the title race. Stannington also know they realistically have to win when they travel to current champions Chapeltown RBL.

At the other end of the table it's looking bleak for Eckington MW who are now 8 points from safety after they were beaten 4-3 at home by Chapeltown RBL. Owen Ryan gave Eckington the lead from a corner, but RBL hit back when Alex Mosley found Elliott Simpson in space and his cross-cum-shot found the top corner. Two minutes later Connor Williamson put Jay Carter through to put RBL ahead and Carter then turned provider when he crossed for Morgan Cowell to make it 3-1 at the break. Eckington rallied in the second half and Mitch Walker headed their second before Harrison Bailey equalised. RBL composed themselves with Danny Booth pulling the strings and subsitute Luis Afonso-Ferriera netted the winner with his first touch five minutes from time.

23 MAR – DIVISION 1 – Cueball win at leaders Nailmakers and Southey win at Brunsmeer – Leaders Nailmakers suffered their second home defeat, 5-4 at the hands of promotion chasing Cueball. Dan Beech opened the scoring for Nailmakers, but Brad Pearce equalised for Cueball. Oliver Parfitt restored Nailmakers lead, but they then had their keeper dismissed for denying a goalscoring opportunity. They maintained the lead until the second half, but Dylan Goff brought Cueball level a second time and they then went in front through Connor Ashforth. Beech netted his second from the penalty spot to bring Nailmakers level, but goals from Jack Challoner and Charlie Shepherd put Cueball 5-3 up. Beech completed his hat-trick to give the leaders hope and only a goalline clearance stopped them taking a point.

Southey are now title favourites after winning 4-1 at Brunsmeer. Todd Guest headed home from Keiran Hopkinson's cross before the lead was doubled when Jamie Hopkins cross was diverted into his own net by a defender. Carlton Carty then cut inside to beat the keeper to make it 3-0 at the break and although Gaz Murdoch pulled one back for Brunsmeer after the break, Carty netted his second, and thirteenth in his last five games, to make the game safe for Southey. Woodman kept their promotion hopes alive as goals from Jack Heald and Nathan Wood gave them a narrow 2-1 victory over AFC Wisewood, who's reply came from Travis.

Cotts hopes of avoiding the drop weren't helped by being held to a home 3-3 draw by Mosborough Reds. Reds took the lead when Oliver Tupling turned home a long throw and soon after Alix Sorsby headed home from Tupling's corner to double their lead. Cotts hit back with two Chris Salt strikes before half-time and soon after the break they took the lead with a Sam Stacey strike, but they weren't able to hold onto all three points as Billy Kitching's cross was swept home by Karl Drabble to earn Reds a draw. Crookes were awarded a 3-0 victory after Sheaf House couldn't field a team.

Next weekend Cotts have a chance to improve their chances when they entertain an AFC Wisewood just four points above them and having played a game more. Brunsmeer are also just 4 points above Cotts and they look to have a tough task at title chasing Cueball. Leaders Nailmakers will be expected to get back to winning ways at a Mosborough Reds that has won just twice at home, whilst Nailmakers have won 5 out of 6 away from home.

23 MAR – DIVISION 2 – Leaders Loca become the first team to be promoted, but it's tight behind them – Leaders Loca (pictured) became the first team to be promoted after winning 4-1 at Ecclesfield Blues. Man of the match Cammy Evans netted a hat-trick, including a goal of the season contender when he volleyed home from Cam Anderson's goal kick. Aaron Williamson netted Loca's other, with Harrison Stenton taking advantage of a Nicky Boot error to net Blues' goal, but had it not been for Blues keeper Bailey Holland the defeat would have been much larger.

The battle to join Loca is hotting up after second place Baby Shark drew 4-4 at third place Darnall Urban. Anthony Greaves, JI Greaves and a Demetrius Timms double netted for Darnall, with Jack Greaves, Keenan McKenzie-Grey,Jahmal Riley and Kieran Sykes-Tobin all on target for the Sharks.

That result allowed the teams below them to narrow the gap. Fourth place AFC Centre Spot won 6-1 victory at Wadsley FC and fifth place Hackenthorpe won 5-1 at Thorncliffe Villa and with games in hand on all the teams above them could yet take one of the top three spots. Papa Sarr opened the scoring for Hackenthorpe and although Villa equalised from a corner, Hackenthorpe were back in front at half-time after Callum Foster curled a 25 yard free kick into the top corner. After the break Chandler Gibson made it 3-1 with a penalty after Leighton Sawyer had been fouled. Foster netted his second when he finished off the move of the game, before Lewis Slater tapped home the fifth.

A win for Loca next weekend at third place Darnall Urban would see them take the title if second place Baby Shark fail to win at home to fourth place AFC Centre Spot and fifth place Hackenthorpe fail to win at home against seventh place Norton Oaks.
