MDH Teamwear Northants Combination League Report

Russell Roofing Premier Division Cup:
Just like the General Election, there is still no clear winner of the Premier Division. A week after throwing themselves back into to the title shake-up, Harborough eliminated Weldon from the picture with a 3-1 success at the home of the long-term pacesetters. Defeat to Medbourne in midweek left Weldon with a mountain to climb, needing a home win in their final game and other results going their way. The defeat condemns Weldon to a third-place finish, while their opponents will battle with Kislingbury in a straight fight, after they defeated Brixworth 3-2. Danny Smith netted the third and winning goal for Kislingbury. The run-in is simple. A Harborough win on Thursday guarantees the crown for the Leicester side. Should they fail to win, only a Kislingbury victory over Queen Eleanor next Saturday will deprive them of the prize.
At the opposite end of the table Pegasus seem to have avoided the drop despite allowing Queen Eleanor to snatch a second equaliser in dramatic circumstances. Paul Simpson opened the scoring for Pegasus, before Alex Sewell netted the first of two penalties, after Eleanor were reduced to ten men. Eleanor pulled a goal back, before Sewell struck his second spot-kick. Eleanor pulled a second goal back before half-time. Simpson doubled his tally shortly after the restart, before the visitors missed a penalty of their own. Spurred on by their failure, they did pull back to 4-4 before a frenetic last minute. Jamie Burns put Pegasus 5-4 up before a 25 yard rocket seconds from time earned Eleanor an improbable point.
Moulton enjoyed a thumping win at home to Khalsa. Nick Worley scored four on his return, and a Peter Smith double were the notable scorers as the hosts ran out 8-1 victors. Roade meanwhile signed off with a 1-1 draw at home to Harpole.

WELFORD VICTORIA CLAIMING THE DIVISION ONE LEAGUE CUP
Keystone Roofing Supplies Division 1:

The Division 1 Cup final on Thursday night provided a dress rehearsal for the league decider between Blisworth and Welford, and a repeat of the full-time scoreline from that night would have been sufficient to secure the crown for Welford. In the event, a 1-0 win for the visitors Welford banished memories of their penalty heartbreak ensuring that there is some silverware to celebrate with. Stanion meanwhile capped a remarkable turnaround, rescuing their season and avoiding the drop with a home win over Drayton Grange. William Wells and Paul Caswell both grabbed trebles to secure a 6-2 win.

Rothenberger Group Division 2:
Danesholme Vikings sealed the Division 2 title with a 4-2 home win over Orchard Park. Jack O’Beirne was the pick of the marksmen netting twice. Gretton’s challenge fizzled out with a 5-5 draw at home to Burton United. George Donnelly continued his quest for the top marksman prize, netting again. Strip Mills 2-1 success over Great Doddington owed as much to the visitors sloppy finishing as it did their own counter-attacking prowess.  Strip Mills took the lead with a near post header from a corner, before Great Doddington equalised after the break. Ricky Gervin then produced the moment of the match, clearing the ball from his own goal line downfield to Jack Clelland who calmly finished from the edge of the area. The season ended on bitter notes for Islip and Ristee, but for different reasons. Islip were hammered 7-2 at home by Clipston, while Ristee’s winless run extended to twelve games with a 2-1 loss to Old Grammarians.

Division 3:
Tyler Amphlett’s fiver in the Cannon Street derby with Wellingborough WMC propelled Rising Sun into the runners-up spot, a point clear of Corby Eagles. Stephen Harrison meanwhile capped Everards title success with a brace. Their 6-0 defeat of Dainite condemned the Leicestershire side to Division Four football next season. Corby Loco’s meanwhile smashed Crick 8-2. Brian Farrell grabbed three of the goals. Hillmorton did the league double over Wilbarston, emerging as 5-1 winners.

Division 4:

West Haddon snatched second spot from Kingswood with a surprise 2-0 derby win over champions Long Buckby Ravens. Jay Connolly opened the scoring for Wymington as they too enjoyed derby success, winning 3-0 against FC Higham. CSV inflicted Kennedys twelfth league defeat of the season with a 6-0 win.

Duston Garage (Bosch Service) Reserve Premier Division:
Harborough all but assured themselves of the runners-up spot with a 4-0 win over Gretton. Tom Bott scored twice in the win. At the opposite end, Pegasus remain mired in trouble after they lost their derby tie with Khalsa 6-1. Alan Campbell weighed in with three goals, while teammate Mark Watson claimed a double. Miles Fricker’s treble and Jeff Davies brace moved Milton clear of the drop-zone, albeit temporarily after a 5-1 success over Nomads.

Reserve Division 1:
Orchard Park reclaimed top spot from Blisworth with a 3-0 home win against the Tunnelmen. The race for the championship is still not over, but is now a three-way race. Brixworth’s 4-1 win over Finedon Volta moved them clear of Medbourne, and meant that their 3-0 success over Ringstead counted for naught.

Reserve Division 2:
No fixtures.
