May 13 round-up:

Dixie Deane Memorial Cup final

Magnet Tavern 6, The Newcastle 3

The concluding showpiece match of the Sunday League season — the Dixie Deane Memorial Cup final — took place at Wyberton FC on Sunday morning with the Castle attempting to gain revenge of their earlier cup defeat against Magnet Tavern. The Tavern had different ideas, though, and were themselves aiming for a clean sweep of trophies. They started off in dominant fashion by taking full control of the first half. And they swept to a 3-0 lead with goals coming at regular intervals. Mark Angel opening the scoring with a fine strike. The club’s top scorer Jimmy Britton then added two great goals. Ty Fravigar came closest for the Castle – his shot flying just wide of the far post after the player had rounded a defender. With the Castle having a re-shuffle at the break, they came out fighting and netted twice in 10 minutes, both goals coming initially from Jordan Dixon corners. The first found Fravigar. And with a great dummy he set up Lee Dakin to fire home a sweet volley. The second came from Dan Fenwick with a powerful header. At 3-2 it looked like the game could go either way. But the Magnet upped the pace and a fine finish from man of the match Paul Vaughan made it 4-2. Laszlo Lovas scored a cracking volley to increase the lead still further, only to see the Castle reduce the arrears – Scott Hutchinson with a superb goal curling it over at a tight angle to leave Maddison stranded in the Magnet net. But the league champions had the final say with Leroy Medina scoring the final goal in a sporting encounter. The Magnet were then presented with both the Dixie Deane Memorial Cup and the Premier Division championship trophy and congratulated on completing the “Sunday treble.”

May 6 round-up:

Workforce Unlimited Premier Division

The last two Premier Division games of the season were played out on Sunday to finalise the standings – with the Magnet Tavern taking the championship crown and the Newcastle ended as worthy runners-up – both teams taking the three points on offer in their separate fixtures.

The champions had to play their match with 10 men as they had sent two teams to compete in the five-a-side competition which took place at Peterborough – one team winning through to meet other area champions which will take place in London – so well done to them. Back to the local scene and the Magnet produced a fine all-round performance to take a 7-1 victory over the Mill Inn. Jimmy Britton was the first to score with a fine strike. Ross Nichols increased the lead following some good passing play. After the break it was one-way traffic for most of the half. Lathon Millar hit one and Jimmy Britton completed his hat-trick to increase the lead for the home team before the Mill then managed to pull one goal back. But by then it was really all over for them. Nichols completed his brace and Richard Stukins fired home to complete the score at 7-1, with the Mill sadly bowing out of Sunday football. Helen Fulcher-Ward had an excellent game in the middle.

The Newcastle had a tougher time against a hard-working Boston College side and certainly didn’t have it all their own way. In a close fought first half the game went into the break with honours even at 2-2. While the College couldn’t break down the Castle in the second period, the Castle continued to produce some excellent work and won through with a 4-2 victory. Jamie Skinner scored his 16^th and 17^th goals of the season for the College while Jack Smith and Mark Lovelace each bagged a brace for the Castle – Lovelace scoring from the spot for his first.
