FC UTD of Bolsover booked themselves a place in the final of the Dey and Co Alma Cup on Sunday as they beat a plucky Crispin Casuals side by four goals to two after extra time. Utd have enjoyed a fantastic season, already claiming the NAPIT TWO title, and goals from Ash Cheetham, Josh Parfitt, Jack Weaver and Nick Grayson presents them with an opportunity to complete a League and Cup double if they can overcome Hasland Devonshire or Tibshelf Town who meet in the other Semi Final in the final.

Britannia Rose were beaten in the semi final of the Derbyshire Junior Sunday Cup earlier in the season but no such problems in the semi final of the Chatsworth Cup as they beat Bolsover Town by three goals to one to move within ninety minutes of potentially lifting the trophy thanks to goals from Callum Featherstone, Declan Jenkins and Ben Meadley.

In the Hutson Cup a hat trick from Pete Stubley helped propel Furnace Hill Hurricanes into the final of the competition where they will meet Astwith All Stars. His three goals came against Brimington Club and were added to by goals from Neil Hollingworth, Keith Parkes, Adam Fareham and Joe Lloyd as Hurricanes won 7-1.

Hepthorne Lane missed the opportunity to move into pole position in NAPIT ONE after being held to a 1-1- draw by Tibshelf Town. Dan Titmus found the net for Lane whilst Sam Harris did likewise for Town, however had Hepthorne Lane won the game they would have gone a point clear of Hasland Devonshire as opposed to a point behind them. Wingerworth BMB were put to the sword by a rampant Doe Lea side who beat them by six goals to nil, Grant Mitchell scoring twice, Joe Lambird, Ash Morton, Dean Spencer and Stuart Robinson once each for Doe Lea.

In TWO bottom side Matlock Town Wanderers recorded what was only their second win of the season, beating Creswell Black Diamond Reserves by three goals to two, Hayden scoring twice, Wilkinson once. Brampton Rovers JMA completed their league fixtures sadly, for them, with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Dronfield Victoria for whom Charles Bradwell scored twice

Newbold recorded a fine 5-0 win over Red Lion Whitt Moor in THREE to move to within four points of Renishaw Miners Welfare at the top of the division to keep their title hopes alive and they have two games in hand as well. David Keenan starred for Newbold, scoring three of the winning goals with Ben Copestake scoring the other two. Pilsley Community bounced back from their 2-1 mid week defeat to Newbold to win 5-1 at AFC North Wingfield, Jamie Ashford, Javinda Bowers, Thomas Newman, Alex Prior and Tom Newman hitting the winning goals. Hollingwood Athletic beat Hady Villa 3-1 whilst New Inn drew 2-2 with Brimington Utd.

Crown Killamarsh are four points clear at the top of FOUR following a 3-1 victory over Old Whittington Miners Welfare which came courtesy of goals from Simon Whitehouse, Billy Hackford and Jake Hackford. The game was Old Whittington's final game of the season as was Club FC's game at Spartans which they lost by a goal to nil, scored by Ben Weaver.

Andrew Woolvern scored twice for Grassmoor Sports in their 6-2 victory over Dronfield Wanderers to take his season's tally to twenty-two and help keep his side in with a great chance of claiming runners up spot in FIVE. Also on the score sheet in the win were Liam Ainger, Tom Allcock, John Donaldson and James Jenkinson. Relegation threatened Glapwell Gladiators and Barlow Kingston Rovers met on Sunday, both desperately needing to claim three points, however they both had to settle for one as the game ended level at two goals each. Two goals from Andy Lakin and a third from Gareth Bannister earned Harleys Scarlets a 3-1 win over Royal Oak Rangers in the division's other game.

Into SIX and champions Whitecotes Wanderers kept up their winning ways with an impressive 5-3 success at Hasland Community Eagles. Woodthorpe Wanderers took on Astwith All Stars and lost to them by three goals to nil. Justin Deakin, Darren Fantom and Billy Pearson scoring Astwith's goals. Hasland WMC were thumped 7-0 by Furnace Hill Hurricanes in mid week but in a dramatic turnaround of form it was they who dished out a hiding this time around, thrashing Castle Arms by eight goals to one, Matt Bower hitting four of them.

Darley Dale Red Star's 4-2 win at Renishaw Rangers TFC in SEVEN leaves them needing just three points from their remaining two games to lift the title. Kieran Clarke, Tom Ford, Dan Gregory and Josh Raybould scored the winning goals. The division's other game was a six goal thriller which saw Ye Olde Nags Head and Spartans 2nd share the spoils as it finished level at 3-3.
