Northants Senior Youth League

The final of the Northants Senior Youth League Cup will be between AFC Rushden & Diamonds and AFC Kempston Rovers on April 18th at Corby Town`s Steel Park after the latter beat a battling Whitworth side 2-1 after extra-time in the outstanding semi-final at Hillgrounds.

The Flourmen had beaten West Division title-favourites Cogenhoe United after extra-time and penalties to reach the semi-final but although they came back from being a Brad Clarke goal at half-time to equalise through Kyle Walter, they ran out of luck in overtime when Ollie Walton snatched victory in the 102nd minute.

In the East Division, Corby Town`s chances of winning the title took a blow when they were beaten by close neighbours and fierce rivals S & L at Steel Park.

In a typical derby match, the visitors went two-up through Ryan Gormley and Ryan Brittan before ex-S & L defender Fraser Glover replied with a header.

S & L dominated the majority of the second half and added to their tally with a Jon Dean header and a Macauley McBride lob.

Eynesbury Rovers moved into third place after easing to a 4-0 Hall Road victory over bottom-markers Thrapston.

Jamie Hutchinson bagged a brace for the hosts, with Ryan Inskip and Aiden Stockwell also on target.

Rothwell Corinthians went goal-crazy at Hayden Road, hammering young hosts Rushden & Higham 9-0.

Ben Large helped himself to four, Marvin Hill a hat-trick and Elliott Morgan a brace.

In the West Division On Chenecks ensured they remained in contention for second spot after easing to a 5-1 win at now bottom side Bugbrooke St Michaels.

Ollie Matthews took his tally for the season to 14 with a double, and Ben Diamond, Imad Abassi and Luke Adams were also on target for the Northampton-based outfit.

Bugbrooke were sent to the bottom of the table after Olney Town picked up a point from an eight-goal thriller at East Street against Northampton Spencer.

Jordan Appleton bagged two for the home side, as did Callum Peach for Spencer.
