Winterton Rangers booked their place in the Final of the NCEL League Cup in a dramatic penalty shoot-out on Easter Monday.

They had gone behind to visitors Hallam thanks to a tenth minute Carl Smith strike before Rob Northen levelled matters just before the interval.

That is how it stayed through extra-time and Rangers made sure their attempt to win the Double was still on by winning 4-2 on spot kicks.

They will face either Barton Town Old Boys or Parkgate whose Semi-Final was called off due to an unplayable pitch ? that match has been re-arranged for next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in the Premier Division, Glapwell tightened their grip on second position with a 1-0 home win over Mickleover Sports.

The Hall Corner side's most likely rivals, Pickering Town, lost by the same scoreline at Eccleshill United to fall five points behind with a game in hand.

Jarrod Peltier grabbed the vital goal with five minutes remaining.

Fifth-placed Hallam were unable to close the gap on the top four as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Brodsworth Welfare.

James Tevendale had put them ahead on four minutes before Darren Fell and Liam Wilkins moved Welfare in front by the interval.

Wilkins grabbed his second and Brodsworth's third soon after the break to continue their recent resurgence.

In Division One, two promotion-chasing sides kept themselves within a good chance of claiming second place.

Bottesford Town moved up to third, a point behind current tenants Rainworth Miners Welfare with a game in hand, after a 4-1 victory at AFC Emley.

And, Scarborough Athletic are still determined to have a say after they claimed the biggest League victory of the season with an 8-0 annihilation of Borrowash Victoria.

Scott Phillips, Mark Griffin and Liam Widdowson had them 3-0 up by half-time before putting the Vics to the sword in the final 25 minutes of the game.

Gary Hepples and Craig Hogg added to the scoreline before a hat-trick in the last quarter-of-an-hour by Ryan Blott completed the rout.

The only disappointment for the Seadogs was the dismissal of Phillips for dangerous play.

Athletic moved up to sixth, six points behind second spot with a game in hand.
