Under 14's Millennium League Cup Semi-Final

Sunday 1st February

Darton Crowns 2
Mexborough Rovers 1

Darton Crowns and Mexborough Rovers met for the third season in a row in the Millennium League Cup Semi-Final hosted at Dorothy Hymans Stadium.

After going down 1-0 from an excellent finish from the Mexborough striker the Crowns pushed all the way up to halftime, but to no avail, with the Mexborough keeper pulling off some fantastic saves to deny the Crowns strikers.

The second half was a similar affair with the Crowns trying desperatley to get back into the game and the Rovers keeper making save after save, until a smart turn in the box by Crowns skipper Joe Burkin ended up with him being brought down and a penalty awarded. Step up Josh Green who smashed the ball into the back of the net to make the score 1-1.

From this point on there was only going to be one winner and again the impressive Josh Green smashed in the winner with only five minutes to go after some great football.

Man of the Match was Lewis Elsworth, with skipper Joe Burkin also impressing.The Crowns will now meet Wath St James in the Final at Oakwell on March 1st.
