Midweek Match Review
25th October, 2007
Three of the semi-finalists in the NCEL Presidents Cup are now known following midweek action.
Armthorpe Welfare were the biggest winners in the trio of Quarter-Finals played on Tuesday with a 4-0 home win over Staveley Miners Welfare.
Stephen Rock, Paul Lavender and Ashley Griffin had put them three-up before the interval and then Rock added his second and Armthorpe's fourth in second-half injury time.
They will now be at home to Selby Town who comfortably won 3-0 at Glapwell with second half goals from Bruno Holden and Adam Lee followed by a last-minute penalty from Brenton Leister.
Liversedge were also 3-0 winners on their travels as they beat Premier Division leaders Nostell Miners Welfare.
Andy Pounder and Matt Fahy had them well ahead in the opening eight minutes and then Luke Sherman sealed the victory as he converted a spot-kick early in the second-half.
They now travel to either Winterton Rangers or South Normanton Athletic who meet next Wednesday.
There was NCEL joy in both County Cup matches that took place with Bottesford Town and Pickering Town progressing in their respective competitions.
A Phil Jackman double saw them reach the Semi-Finals of the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy with a 2-0 win at Deeping Rangers.
And Pickering Town were 2-1 winners at home to Marske United in the Second Preliminary Round of the North Riding Senior Cup.
There was one Premier Division clash and Glasshoughton Welfare moved off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 victory at Parkgate.
The home side had taken the lead at the end of the opening period through Steve Ward before Chris Coupe and Richard Batley turned the match around in the second-half.
Rob Northen separated the sides in an all-NCEL friendly on Wednesday as Winterton Rangers won 1-0 at Scarborough Athletic.
And, Leeds Met Carnegie made it two wins out of two in BUSA Premier League North with a 4-0 victory at Edge Hill University.
