Peterborough and District Football League round-up
A 14-match winning run has fuelled Crowland Town's bid for a terrific treble.
Chris Lyon's side extended their superb sequence at the weekend as they booked their place in the semi-finals of the Peterborough Senior League.
Goals from Archie Rickards and Adam Blackbird secured a 2-0 away success at Premier Division rivals Moulton Harrox.
It has set up a semi-final showdown with Leverington next month as Crowland chase a hat-trick of honours this term.
They host Lincolnshire League side Immingham Town on Saturday, January 25, in the quarter-finals of the Lincolnshire Junior Cup.
Crowland are also still well placed to challenge for honours in the Premier Division in fourth spot, 10 points behind joint leaders Uppingham Town and Stanground Cardea Sports with four games in hand.
The latter boosted their title bid by scoring six times without reply in the second half of their home clash with Deeping United on Saturday. The visitors also finished with 10 men following the dismissal of David Cisay-Rule.
Long Sutton secured their second win of the Division One campaign after a 2-1 home success over Park Farm Pumas thanks to two goals from Jack Greenacre.
Xennon Paul was another two-goal marksman as he netted twice for Crowland Reserves in their 3-2 home loss to YDP in Division Two.
Whaplode Drove Rovers Reserves were beaten in a high-scoring Division Three clash after a 5-6 home loss to King's Cliffe.
Sam Miller scored twice for Rovers with Ethan Kemball, Luke Thackham and Avi Vieira also on target.
South Lincs Swifts are another side on a three-pronged quest for honours this season.
They are in contention for the Division Three title and are also through to the semi-finals of the Spalding Inter-Services Cup where they visit Long Sutton next month.
Swifts booked their place in the final of the Peterborough Junior Cup at the weekend after a 2-1 away win at Nxt Gen.
Kieron McConnell put them ahead five minutes into the second half with a superbly whipped free-kick from out wide.
Dan Taylor then smashed home the second goal with five minutes remaining following an assist from Tommy Coote.
Former Spalding United striker Chris Assombalonga pulled a goal back in the last minute for Nxt Gen who finished the match with nine men after the sendings off of Asif Rehman and Talhah Muhammad.
Pinchbeck United are looking for players for their development side which plays in the Premier Division of the Boston and District League.
The opportunity is ideally suited to 17-23-year-olds with a potential pathway being offered to first team football in the Thurlow Nunn League.
