Moulton Harrox’s relentless pursuit of silverware this season shows no sign of stopping after they booked a place in the semi-final of the PFA Senior Cup on Saturday.
ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division title favourites Harrox, who have already booked a place in the final of the Lincs FA Junior Cup, beat Deeping Rangers 3-2 at Broad Lane over the weekend.
Goals from Ian Bradbury, Billy King and Joe Townsend secured Moulton’s place in the last four, with Tom Hutton and Troy Waters hitting back for fellow top tier side Deeping.
Moulton, who are still in the President Premier Shield too, return to league action this Saturday with a trip to Sawtry (2pm).
Harrox: Wilding, McGuire, Coddington, Patterson, Johnson, Cawthorne, King, L Steadman, Townsend, Parry, Bradbury. Subs used: Lambe-Hyner, Relf, Watkin. Not used: N Steadman, Groves.
- Long Sutton Athletic narrowly missed out on joining Harrox in the semi-finals of the PFA Senior Cup after losing a stormy clash against Netherton United 3-2.
The Magpies twice led the last eight tie at London Road, with Matty Oliver and Tom Gosling grabbing the goals.
Zack Fisher, Callum Madigan (penalty) and Robbie Ellis – who grabbed a glorious late winner five minutes from time – notched for Premier Division Netherton, though, with Gosling also sent off for violent conduct.
More was to follow after the final whistle, with Netherton defender James McDonagh suffering an alleged assault in the visiting dressing room which led to police being called.
A Sutton club statement said: “With regards to Saturday’s incident, the club will be taking the appropriate action towards the named player. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated at LSAFC. We will also adhere to the FA’s ruling on this matter.”
Omar Joof’s Sutton host Crowland Town in Division One this Saturday (2pm).
Also bowing out of the PFA Senior Cup at the quarter-final stage were Holbeach United Reserves, who were beaten 4-0 at Whittlesey Athletic.
A treble from Jack Carter sank Phil Barnes’ Tigers, with Louie Medwynter rounding off the scoring.
The Tigers return to Premier Division action this Saturday, but Whittlesey are again their opponents, this time at Carter’s Park (2pm).
