Royal Earl Win the Cup

Royal Earl retained the League Cup on Tuesday night, and by doing so completed the league and cup double.

The game against the Arbourthorne EA A was a tight affair, similar to the two sides' last league meeting in March. The game was decided dramatically by a single goal in the fifth minute of injury time at the end of the second-half.

League Cup Final Preview

Regular followers of the Meadowhall League won't need reminding; but the League Cup Final will take place tomorrow night between the Royal Earl and the Arbourthorne EA A. The two teams finished the league season Champions and runner's up respectively.

Royal Earl will be looking to complete the league and cup double with a win over the Arbourthorne. They will go into the game as slight favourites as they have overcome the Arbourthorne twice this season in league competition. They will also be looking to retain the trophy they won a year ago, when they beat the Packhorse Inn 2-1.

The Arbourthorne EA A will be looking to put wrongs right though, as they visit Bramall Lane for the second time in five days. On Thursday, they narrowly missed out on silverware, as they were beaten in extra-time 4-3 by AFP FC in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Sunday Senior Cup Final.

As previously mentioned, the two games this season between the two teams finished with Royal Earl wins. In February, the Royal Earl beat the Arbourthorne EA comfortably 6-2, but in the return fixture a month later it was a different story as Royal Earl just edged a nervy encounter 1-0.

So as always we wish both teams the best of luck and may the best team win!

The game takes place tomorrow night at Bramall Lane with a kick-off of 7.30pm.Tickets are priced £3 (£2 concessions) if purchased prior to the day and will be £5 (£2 concessions) on the day.
