Park Life: Five-star HT Sports flying flag for Leeds in West Riding FA County Sunday Cup final
new FARNLEY outfit HT Sports are heading to another West Riding FA County Sunday Cup final after a five-star showing in Friday night's semi-final.
The Leeds Combination League outfit proved to be a class above their Bradford Sunday Alliance League opponents, Crossflatts Village, and sealed a 5-0 victory at County FA headquarters in Woodlesford.
Jason Davis, Barrie Frankland, Steven Palfrey, Ben Thornton and Joe Thornton all bagged a goal apiece with HT now awaiting the winners of the remaining semi between Ferrybridge Progressive WMC and Olympic tomorrow night.
Last Thursday’s Leeds & District FA Sunday Jubilee Cup final between New Moorside and The Woodcock was postponed.
The final of the Leeds FA’s flagship Sunday Senior Cup will be between Hope Inn Whites and Whitkirk Wanderers, taking place at Elland Road on May 9.
On the Saturday front, Carlton Athletic held their nerve to record a 3-2 victory on penalties against Beeston St Anthony’s after a 3-3 draw in last Wednesday night’s Leeds & District FA Senior Challenge Cup semi-final.
Kingsley Wetherald bagged a brace for Beeston whose Stephen Crawford was also on target with Scott Burns, Liam Moore and Joel Hughes all netting for Carlton, who had Andrew Payne sent off.
Robin Hood Athletic and Yorkshire Amateur League outfit Leeds Medics & Dentists will face off in the second semi-final tomorrow night.
