IN the Everards Restart Premier Cup, Hathern went into their final group B game needing just a point at winless FC Khalsa to secure a home semi.

They did rather more than that, winning 7-1 at Judgemeadow College. Jack McLachlan opened the scoring in the seventh minute, a Tom Insley header on 27 minutes doubled the advantage, and the tie was killed off with an own goal five minutes before the turnaround to make it 3-0.

After the break, Jake Maden scored a free-kick, and despite another own goal- this time putting Khalsa on the scoresheet and giving them consolation- Mark Farthing reacted first to the rebound to make it 5-1 before an hour was up, before in the final quarter of an hour, Maden got his second when he deflected a shot into the net, and an Adam Porter header that dropped in at the far post made it 7-1 and rounded off the scoring.

Meanwhile at Westray Park, Cottesmore moved into second spot in the Everards Restart Premier Cup group B after a 2-1 win over Thurnby Rangers.

Group A, which just two weeks ago looked like a procession, has been thrown up in the air. On Friday night, Friar Lane & Epworth’s game at home to Desford, which could potentially have seen both sides progress, was postponed after a Covid scare left the home side unable to play. The match has been re-scheduled for Wednesday night at Spice Bazaar Park, subject to Friar Lane clearing the League’s Covid protocols. That gave both Allexton & New Parks and Ashby Ivanhoe Knights the chance to profit. Allexton though blew their chance, losing 3-1 away to County Hall.

Meanwhile, it was an episode of the late late show at Warwick Road, where Blaby & Whetstone welcomed Ashby Ivanhoe Knights who won 3-2 with an injury time winner.

Desford are guaranteed a semifinal spot, but will miss out on winning the group if they lose to Friar Lane on Wednesday night by four goals or more.

After a spot of last-minute rejigging of the fixture list, three of the quarter-finals in the City Goldsmiths Restart Trophy took place on Saturday.

There was another shock at Asfordby Acres, where Asfordby were brought down to earth by AFC North Kilworth, who despite having just three days to prepare, won 3-1. In the late game at Gipsy Lane, Northfield Emerald confirmed their form by beating Anstey Town 4-1.
