13 SEPT - CBC PREMIER – Jubilee slam the Village and Hackenthorpe shock the champions - Jubilee Rangers beat champions Royal Earl last week and this week they followed it up by slamming last season's Runners-Up Stannington Village 5-1. A cagey start finally opened up when some nice play down the wing saw Brendan Reid-Flanagan run through and keep his cool to pass the ball across to Ciaran Allinson to knock the opener home. Jubilee caused all sorts of problems for the normally reliable Village defence and Mason Hunt volleyed home a second before half-time.

The second half saw Jubilee create chance after chance and it was rewarded when Ciaran Allinson again broke into the box rounded the keeper and some great defending on the line was only a stay of execution as the ball dropped to Matt Civil's feet and he knocked home the third. A fourth quickly followed when a through ball to Will Osgathorpe broke the offside trap and he passed it to the on-running Sam Phillips to tuck the ball home. A fifth came after a wicked Osgathorpe free kick was flicked home for Civil's second of the game. Stannington's only consolation came near the end when they earned a penalty which was dispatched by Charlie Hobson.

Royal Earl's poor start continued as they were defeated 2-0 at home by a Hackenthorpe that made it two wins from two in their first ever season in the top flight. Hackenthorpe took the lead in the first half when Chad Gibson finished off a great assist from Man of the Match Aston Thompson. The second half was a close encounter, with both sides battling hard. Hackenthorpe stayed composed to hold on to their lead and, late in the game, Callum Foster broke away to grab a crucial second to secure all three points.

Another to maintain a perfect start was Wadsley Bridge Sixers with a 2-0 victory at Eckington MW. Goals by George Rudd and Danny Junior in the last 15 minutes of the first half proved enough for Sixers. Eckington did their best to get back into the game after the break and hit the woodwork twice, but with Bradley Howe and Kane Doughty outstanding for the visitors and it was Sixers that went home with the points.

Wickersley CC also made it two from two, slamming newly promoted Mosborough Reds 6-0. Wickersley started slowly and the first half was even until Liam O'Brian's pinpoint cross was headed home by George Walker (pictured right). Mosborough defended well for the rest of the half, but Wickersley started the second half like an express train and scored after just 5 seconds when a great bit of play through the middle was finished by Adam Daughtrey.

Wickersley's third came when Louis Seddons beat three men before rounding the goal keeper to score, before Walker made it four with his second to finish a fast flowing counter attack. The fifth came when Dec Mullane beat the keeper with a shot from outside the area, before a penalty award allowed Walker to complete the scoring and his hat trick from the spot.

Another newly promoted team, Loca FC, secured their first ever top flight victory, 3-1 at home against Boynton Sports. Loca came flying out of the traps and dominated the first half with quick passing and movement. The pressure eventually told when Cammy Evans was brought down in the box and the penalty was duly despatched by Logan Liggins.

The second half started much like the first, with Loca getting the ball down and playing some really good football. Their second came when they worked it out wide to Evans and his quality ball into the box was fired home by Jenson Walsh for his second in two games. Boynton weren’t finished though and put the home defence under intense pressure wich eventually led to a penalty, converted by Jack Bennett. Boynton then threw everything forward in search of an equaliser, but were inevitably caught on the break and Lewis Thompson netted a third to ensure that first top flight victory for Loca.

13 SEPT - DIVISION 1 – The Sportsman's first win is almost Parfitt, while Southey go top - An understrength Brinsworth Whitehill suffered a baptism of fire in their first game in the league when they slumped to a 9-0 defeat by The Sportsman for whom Oliver Parfitt netted five. Parfitt opened the scoring from just inside the area and he soon grabbed his second. Sam Read made it three following a corner, before Dan Beech made it four. Parfitt completed his hat trick from the spot, before Joshua Booth got his first for the club from close range to make it six by half-time.

The second half saw Sportman continue their dominance and Parfitt cut inside and his low strike to made it seven, before hitting a peach from outside the area. Read then finished the scoring with a close range effort for his second oc the game. Brinsworth never stopped working despite injuries meaning they finished the game with 10 men.

Southey Social are the early leaders of Division 1 after late goals gave them a 5-2 victory over a stubborn Woodman Cotts. Southey took the lead after 20 mins when Jack Dickens found Carlton Carty in the box and he finished from close range. Southey doubled the lead after a Kieran Hopkinson free kick was headed across goal by Jay Slocombe and Jack Whyers tapped home from close range. Woodman Cotts got back in it on the stroke of half-time when Chris Salt netted a penalty.

That gave Woodman the early momentum after the break and they levelled when Andrew Swift pounced on a defensive mistake to score. Woodman then missed a couple of chances to take the lead, but those misses were punished by Southey in the final 15 minutes.

Hopkinson put in a great free kick for Ryan Whitney to volley home, before good work by Whyers allowed substitute Luke Broadbent to fire home from 10yds to make it four. Isaac Kamara completed the scoring with his first goal for the club when he robbed the keeper of the ball 30yds out and raced away to roll into an empty net.

13 SEPT - LEAGUE CUP – Queens get a narrow win to head to the last 16 - Queens Head progressed to the last 16 of the League Cup with a narrow 1-0 victory at fellow Division 1 side AFC Wisewood. It was the home side that started better and hit the bar twice and had disallowed goal. After the break Queens started to get on top and it was their turn to miss chances. The winner came five minutes from time when a great cross into the box allowed James Lindores to head home and book Queens place in the next round.
