Friendship finally go through to the finals
AFTER last week's disappointment of losing in the County Cup semi-final, AFC Friendship made up for that by reaching the final of the Presidents Cup after a 4-1 victory over Mattersey FC
The tie, which also doubled up as a Division One league game, was a testament to Friendship's battling qualities and in the end they proved too good for a battling Mattersey who gave their all.
The eagerly awaited match between Gainsborough Town Canute and White Lion saw Canute produce a devastating performance when they hammered White Lion 7-2.
White Lion never recovered from a first half mauling when they found themselves 5-0 down at half-time and, although the second half was more even, they were never able to make up the deficit.
Rampton Hospital enhanced their league position after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Retford Town Reserves.
In Division Two leaders BFC Birches were given a fright by a much improved Marshalls Sports who led 2-1 well into the second half.
But Birches came storming back in the last 15 minutes and scored three times to take all three points.
Second-placed AFC Ropery were also given a tougher than expected game against Fox and Hounds Willingham but the better finishing of the Ropery team proved the difference and they ran out 3-1 winners.
Wroot hada narrow 3-2 win over FC Blues while East Drayton and Bridon, who played each other in the Anie Lawson Cup semi-final last week, had another titanic battle before settling for a 3-3 draw.
