16/12 Round Up

Sheffield & Hallmshire FA Senior Cup 5th Round

The Meadowhall League had a mixed bag of things in the Senior Cup on Sunday, with two teams progessing, but three teams departing the competition.

Starting with bad news, the Arundel were beat convincingly 5-0 at home by the Joker. Handsoworth Turf Tavern were also beaten, as they fell 4-3 away against Lundwood FC after extra-time.

Goals from Lewis Eshelby and Thomas Griffin helped Division One Leaders Arbourthorne EA to a 2-0 win over Premier Division Brunsmeer Abeey AJW at Warminster Road. They will be hoping to go one further than their 2010-11 final loss in this competition, and have won every game in all competitions so far this season.

Finally, Royal Earl put behind them their disappointing league form, by beating Hemsworth Miners Welfare. Scott Bates was on target twice for last years’ League Cup winners to help them into the hat for the 6th Round.

Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Junior Cup 5th Round

Jason Scott scored four of the goals, with Brett Spanksman and Rocky Thompson grabbing two goals apiece. Ryan Ducker, Ryan Kavanagh, Ryan Morris, Brandon Wilde and John Bramhall were also on the score-sheet in a great win.
