Scott Wharton was the hero as second division Mill Madrid beat first division Grassmoor Sports 4-0 to win the Dey and Co Alma Cup at Saltergate.
Grassmoor started the game as favourites but Mill took a fifth minute lead when Grassmoor conceded a free kick on the angle of the penalty area and Scott Wharton's clever shot deceived the defence to creep in at the unguarded near post.

Grassmoor
opened the second half brightly but disaster struck on 52 minutes when Mill Madrid were awarded a free kick 35 yards from goal.

Up stepped Wharton who tried his luck with a harmless looking shot which Wall failed to deal with, palming the ball into the roof of his net as Mill Madrid doubled their advantage.

On the hour mark Grassmoor's Ashley Walters received a caution for an over zealous tackle and 11 minutes later was dismissed for a similar offence.

Andy Hone was brought down in the Grassmoor area 11 minutes from time and Wharton converted the penalty to complete a man of the match winning hat- trick and when Luke Strong was the quickest to react as Wall did well to parry Hall's shot, firing home from close range six minutes from time Mill Madrid's victory was complete and the Alma Cup was theirs.

For the first 45 minutes of the final of the Ace Sports Chatsworth Cup there was little to choose between Dronfield Town and fourth division champions Barlborough Royal Oak.

The opening half failed to produce a goal but only two minutes of the second period had passed when the breakthrough came.

Luke Hatcroft's dangerous ball into the Town penalty area was turned goal wards and as the ball rebounded off a defender it struck Tony Dean to enter the goal and give the Barlborough side the lead.

The second three minutes later came from a classic set piece, Hatcroft's pin point corner kick finding the unmarked Paul Blakemore who powered a header passed Lakin from close range.

Hatcroft was the supplier again on 56 minutes, another precision corner kick this time finding the head of Paul Jones who made it 3-0.

Royal Oak added a fourth and a fourth set piece goal it was too, Hatcroft again the supplier, Blakemore bagging himself a second with a well-placed header.

Town replied almost instantly with a goal of their own, Rob Wood's crisp shot beating Reynolds from 16 yards but Royal Oak's victory was rounded off five minutes from time when substitute Jack Wright placed a well-struck shot into the bottom corner of Matt Lakin's goal to complete not only a memorable win for Barlborough Royal Oak but a memorable season as well.

The final of the Mill Hutson Cup paired British Rail with Harleys and despite the hot conditions the players produced a fast-paced encounter.

Rail's Dave O'Hara was in action on 12 minutes diving bravely at the feet of Martin Wheatcroft but there was nothing his opposite number Damian Taylor could do three minutes later when Andy Wilcockson finished with aplomb from 15 yards.
