Cups take on GSA Wolverhampton in the final of the Ken Pemberton Cup at Wolverhampton Casuals (7pm) looking to cap a superb campaign with another piece of silver having already claimed the Tom Bird Cup and been crowned Division Four champions.

A resounding 5-1 success against the Woodman Inn clinched the title with one game remaining.

Connor Potts was the star of the show with a hat-trick that included a stunning half-volley. Ben Moore added Cups’ other goals.

Black Country Fusion claimed the runners-up spot in their debut season.

Jacks Bar and Ryans Rhinos both enjoyed 3-2 victories.

Jacks beat AE Noahs Ark at home while Rhinos triumphed at Punjabi Wolves.

In Division Three, Dudley United’s hopes of nicking a top-three finish were dashed following a 1-1 draw at home to Wolverhampton Sports GNST.

Jordan Brookes struck for Dudley with Ryan Davies on target for the visitors.

Division Two champions Belgrade wrapped up their season in style with another emphatic victory.

Dave Maher and Antoine Julien both scored twice and Matt Garbett once as the title-winners beat Connaught United 5-1. The visitors’ reply came from Jermaine Brown.

A late second-half goal rush saw Pilot down Tipton Town Sunday.

A keenly-contested first half saw Adam Hill put Tipton in front with a delightful lob.

Pilot were then denied by a number of fine saves from Tipton keeper Si Holmes but managed to find an equaliser before the break courtesy of a strike from Oscar Charlesworth.

The clash was still level with 20 minutes remaining but a free-kick from Harry Charlesworth kick-started a late surge from Pilot.

Harry Charlesworth added his second before substitute Jack Benton bagged a brace and defender Curtis Taylor made it 6-1.

Chris Hunter grabbed a late consolation for Tipton.

AFC Bradmore went down 3-1 at home Azaad Sports while Dynamo 50 Stile tasted victory on the road, winning 2-0 at UTC Collins.

There was just one clash in Division One and that saw Warstones Wanderers Sunday ease to a 5-2 success against Bradmore Social.

Frying Pan Darlaston ended their Premier Division campaign on a high.

Two goals from Nick Lewis and one from Jake Robinson saw them to a 3-1 success at SWL Spartak. Carl Thompson scored for the hosts.

The Vin Boden Cup final between TK Wanderers and Bilbrook Spartans is set to be replayed after last week’s showdown was abandoned.

A serious injury to Bilbrook’s Bobby Glencourse forced the match to be halted after 49 minutes with Wanderers leading 2-1.

“Unfortunately one of the Bilbrook players sustained a nasty injury and we had to halt the game and call for an ambulance,” said league secretary Phil Reade.

“After waiting 55 minutes for the ambulance we took the decision to abandon the game.

“After speaking to officials from Bilbrook the good news is that there was no break. Bobby had some stitches and now we all wish him a speedy recovery.”

The final will now be played at Wolverhampton Casuals’ Brinsford Lane base on Friday, May 10 (7pm).
