MOM: Alex Churchill-Coleman

Report: The last match before the winter break and the opportunity to finish top of the table, Bugbrooke had everything to play for. They started well creating many chances before Winklemuller put them into the lead. This should have been the spur to go and finish the visitors off. As half-time approached the visitors took control and were rewarded with an equaliser. The second half continued as the first ended, a couple of good saves from Churchill-Coleman kept the scores level. Bugbrooke couldn't get going, holding on for the draw.

Team: Luke Barnes, Danny Carthy, Rikki Fitzpatrick, Aaron Brown, Ross McEwan, Ryan Hamilton, Luke Stoker, Ryan Linnell, Nathan Stewart, Josh Shipley, Daryl Chambers

Report: Both teams were up for this game and it wasn't long before Eastern went ahead. Sunnyside were denied by the post on two occasions. Eastern were awarded a penalty, this was new keeper Luke Barnes' chance to show his skills and did so with a fine strike. Sunnyside hit back to level just before the break. The second half saw Warriors at full strength, a goal by Linnell and a second for Shipley gave the lads a well deserved win.

Bugbrooke were unlucky to trail by the single goal as WH had two efforts narrowly wide of the post and another cleared off the line by Harley Towers. The second half was more evenly contested but Haddon had another effort cleared before Bugbrooke won a penalty in the closing stages. Unfortunately this wasn't to be Bugbrooke's day and Haddon deserved their win. Good luck to WH in the next round.

Moulton got into their game in the second half and goals from Alasdair and Hames Handshaw, scoring his first goal of the season, kept championship hopes alive. MOM David Porter was

solid in the Moulton defence and is up there as one of the best defenders in the league. Well done lads.

MOM: Graeme Ahearn, Jake Savill

Report: Tigers hit the blocks running and put Soccer Stars under early pressure. The ball refused to go in the net, just missing the post or the keeper saving some good shots. Stars put some good moves together but the Tigers defence was not letting anything through today. Tiger eventually broke the deadlock from a corner, which was cleared to Burge who struck in a beautiful shot from just outside the box. The Tigers defence once again stood firm at the start of the second half not allowing Stars any room to move. Then some wonderful football from defence to attack saw Atkinson score a nice double to seal the victory. A good performance by all.

Report: A disappointing performance by Tows, but full credit to Soccer Stars who weathered a lot of Tows pressure and had a goalkeeper in magnificent form. Soccer Stars broke early in the second half after a defensive slip on a heavy pitch to take the lead. Good defending and excellent organisation then prevented Tows from getting back into the game.

Team: Lee Melatti, Alex Gass, Matthew Walters, Alex Rees, Elliot Grice, Michael Kemp, Charlie Davies, Fraser Walker, Ben Jones, Ben Smith, Gavin Cope, David Wardale, Joe Silber

MOM: The whole team

Report: This match was played in good spirit by both sides. On a heavy pitch Haddon put St Michaels under pressure but their defence soaked it up. In the second half, both sides had opportunities to score but with both defences in determined mood it looked as though the game may be decided by an odd goal. It came from Haddon striker David Wardle, who used his strength with a good run and finished well.

All credit to Chenecks who battled throughout, but found it hard to breakdown the Chenecks' defence.

MOM: Parise Haynes

Report: After last week's performance, WSG were confident of performing well in this match. However Duston came out from the kick-off and scored in the opening seconds. Normally, WSG would take this in their stride, but Duston were too strong in all departments and ran away with the game in the second half. Adrian Yates managed a consolation goal late on after a good spell of pressure, but WSG were well beaten by a strong, skilful side. Chin up and better luck next week Wootton. Well done Duston.

Special mention to Dragons keeper Jack Reid who saved a penalty twice, all the boys were outstanding. Well done Warriors, their goalkeeper was outstanding. Dragons, your position is reward for your hard work.

MOM: Matt Grant

Report: Before Wootton woke up they were two goals down. They struggled to match Parklands who soon looked out of sight when they scored a third before half-time. After some half-time debate, 11 new players played with passion and desire. Four goals could have been scored in the early part of the half, but Wootton had to wait until Beech and Rate pulled Wanderers back into contention.

MOM: Adam Husbands

Report: This top of the table clash was an exciting and entertaining game. The first half saw Blisworth with 70 per cent of the attacking possession and playing good passing football, but they allowed Barry to score three goals. The second half saw Barry hardly venture out of their half. Ashley Butler scored early for Blisworth, MOM Adam Husbands made it 3-2. This gave the home team confidence to push for the equaliser, but Barry's defence held out for all three points.

MOM: James Cahill

Report: After a positive start from Moulton, Wootton dominated the game and deserved their lead. Moulton equalised before half-time with a well-taken goal from Danny Raymond. It was much the same in the second half and after Wootton went 3-1 up Moulton decided to wake up. After pulling one back from Adam Selling Wootton missed a penalty, but full marks to Moulton for not letting their heads go down and deserved the equaliser for that reason alone. Well done lads, still unbeaten.

MOM: Jack Mousley

Report: A headed goal from Lee Redfern and a saved penalty form Jack Mousley were the only highlights of a poor Drayton Grange performance. A second goal seemed to have secured the win but it was ruled offside and Kingsthorpe came back to equalise in the later stages.

Team: Sam Heath, Joseph Mardel, Brandon Gordon-Ward, Joe O'Connor, Savion Maclean, Leo Bewers, Michael MaCleod, Mathew Birney, Joe Adams, Jake McQueen, Thomas Churcher, Jordan Penny

Report: A fantastic game in which Blisworth were very unlucky not to come away with at least a point. Despite early pressure, Barry went three up thanks to a cool finish from Jordan, a superb debut goal from Sam and great passing from Joe Adams. Blisworth pulled two back after the break but the defence held firm against the onslaught, this was Barry's best ever performance. Thanks to Hugh.

MOM: Ashley Gardner

Report: Warriors went one down after five minutes. Warriors were inspired and went close before Ashley Gardiner got on the end of a Joshua Levi through ball to equalise.

A well-battled first half saw honours even at the break. The second half saw Blisworth step up and went in front with a goal from Sam Harris. The Blisworth support was warmed on a bitterly cold morning with a 3-1 victory when debutant Jordan Miller tapped in from close range.

MOM: Shane Corquin

Report: This was a game of two halves. Parklands had a surprisingly easy first half Dove, Stevens and Bullen scoring one each for a 3-0 half-time lead. Wootton Fields were a different team and a lot stronger after the break and could have easily been 4-3 up within 10 minutes of the restart pulling two goals back. Tigers hung on until the end to secure the win. Good football played by both teams on an excellent playing surface.

Heyford quickly went two down but fought their way back well with a goal from Richards. Shots on target from both sides saw the goalkeepers with plenty to do. Rushmere went in 3-1 up before half-time. In the second half Heyford showed more commitment and although they missed a penalty Murphy scored twice to make it a tight finish.

MOM: Jamie Lambert

Report: Welland beat Cogenhoe to move up the table with a gritty performance. Honours were even at the break, both teams dogging it out. The game was decided mid-way through the second half when Lynes split the Cogenhoe defence allowing Treadgold to calmly slot home. They dug in and played like their lives depended on getting a victory. Cogenhoe kept the pressure on but resolute defending and another fine display by Griffin kept them out. MOM Lambert gave a lion heart performance. Well done to both teams for playing the game in a sporting manner.

Report: On a sticky playing surface, passing football was at a premium. The only goal of the game was a scrappy affair, scored at the end of the first half. A disappointing performance from Warriors, managing just one shot on goal, was well saved by Braunston's keeper. On the plus side, an excellent defensive display, with Yasser Osman absolutely outstanding. Marc Bliss took the keeper gloves and performed pretty well. Overall, it didn't happen today. We can look back on a pretty good season so far.

Despite an early set back for Eagles with Billing getting a third, Eagles dug in with Burton managing to free Talbot for Eagles second before Burton himself found the back of the net, 3-3 game on, only time was up. Well done both teams.

Drew 1-1 with Drayton Grange

Scorers: Alex Osborne

Team: Liam Jackson, Blake Moule, Jake Crowson, Max Armstrong, Aaron Lee, Dan Twistleton, Greg Kaziboni, Sam Hollis, Brett Manning, Alex Osborne, Luke Robinson, Jake Reynolds

MOM: Liam Jackson

Report: An excellent game from start to finish with Jets having most of the play. With one silly mistake in the first half Drayton got a goal. That only made Jets more determined to equalise and they did just that with some brilliant moving of the ball around the field. The ball came to Alex who hit an unstoppable shot. Well done on a brilliant game.

BRAUNSTON YOUTH

Beat 1-0 to Sunnyside Warriors

Team: Jordan Hammond 7, Adam Creaney 7, Joshua Tokley 7, Robbie Bunn 7, Jordan Bunn 7, Joshua Bradley 7, Stuart Walker 7, Jordan Jones 7, Harry Pettifer 7, Ryan Nutchey 7, Oliver Hacke 7, Justin Boneham 7, Alfie Such 7, James Dawson 7, Daniel Childs 7

MOM: Harry Pettifer

Report: Testing conditions proved the undoing for both teams. Braunston had the better of the first half. Good goalkeeping by Sunnyside kept the score level at half-time. The second half became more difficult when tired legs set in. There were limited chances, thanks to fine defending and goalkeeping. Braunston scored when Ryan Nutchley volleyed into the net, Sunnyside's keeper almost saving. Braunston's keeper Jordan Hammond pushed a shot around the post for a corner, enabling Braunston to run out 1-0 victors. Credit to both teams for providing a good standard.

Drew 3-3 with Eastern Eagles

Scorer: Sam Ducker, Joseph Bomben, Liam Newby

MOM: Liam Newby

Report: Eastern Eagles took an early lead after a good free-kick. Joseph Bomben equalised in a tight first half. Liam Newby scored a cracking goal and Sam Ducker increased the lead. Billing looked to be heading for a win when their defence waited for the referee to blow for offside and Eastern were back in the game. Eastern never gave up and equalised. Both sides had chances to get a winner. Three goals by Billing, all worthy of goal of the season. Another improved performance.

Report: Soccer Stars progressed to the quarter-finals with a clinical victory. Early goals settled Stars and by the interval they were already six goals ahead through Grisley's hat-trick, two from Bates and a single from Perry Wells. The second period continued in the same vein as the Braunston defence tired and Stars proceeded to add nine further goals with Bates scoring a second half Wells and Joe Merrill both notching singles before Jack Scally and Lewis Leslie added a brace each. Credit must go to Braunston they never gave up fighting and battled right to the final whistle.

Lost 3-1 to Duston Knights

Scorer: Adam Ryan

Team: Aaron Trasher, Craig Aitken, Salim Osman, Callum Whitley, Jay Aitken,

Graeme Richardson, Nick Robinson, Adam Ryan, Daniel Baker, Luke Meakins, Matthew Bannister, Steven Dods, Jack Kelly, Karl Underwood

MOM: Salim Osman

Report: Jets started well with a goal after seven minutes, Luke Meakins putting Adam Ryan through to cleverly chip the Duston keeper. Shortly after the break Duston went 2-1 up through two soft goals as Jets defence had a panic attack. Jets pushed hard for an equaliser but were denied by some excellent goalkeeping and the linesman's flag. Duston finally wrapped up the game with a 35-yard shot into the top corner, which was either a fluke or a wonder goal.

Referee: Rob Desmond

Report: Cobras had to play Billing United in this exciting cup clash. After a good win against Billing in the league, the Cobras soon got on top, Paul Batty scoring 15 minutes into the game after. Two minutes later Jordan Mitchell scored his first goal for the Cobras to go 3-1 up at half-time. Three minutes into the second half a goal for Billing saw them run out 4-3 winners. Good luck in the next round Billing, a lesson learned for Cobras.

Team: Jonathan Curtis, Matthew Curtis, Adam Beasley, Sean Conopo, Jordan Gass, Thomas Hill, Tobias Underwood, Gregory Cooper-Moorhouse, Sam Brown, Edward Wiggins, Cathal Fanning, Adam Conopo, Matthew Brown, Michael Trusler, William Garrett

Report: Despite some strong play in the first half, Braunston were gradually overwhelmed by a side who showed how they had become division one leaders. An outstanding game from Soccer Stars number nine was the highlight of an all-round skilful team performance. Braunston's defence showed courage but it was not enough on the day.

MOM: The whole team

Report: From the first whistle, Lionverge pressed and scored the opener after 10 minutes Jack Labrum slotting past the keeper. Both sides created chances, but the score remained 1-0 at half-time. The second half followed this pattern and desperate defending kept Lionverge in front. Verge missed a couple of chances, before Labrum made a 2-0 lead. In the dying seconds Celtic got a consolation, meaning Lionverge gained their first points of the season. This was an entertaining match played on a sticky Abington Park pitch.

Referee: Neil Melling

Team: John Barrett, Tom Horsley, Andrew Rose, Franco Reina, Andre Hares, Jake Nagy, Matt James, Max Collins, Danny Mortimer, Damon Herbert, Danny Brown, Daniel Barnard, Chris Doran, Alex Quatrine

MOM: Damon Herbert

Report: Not a very entertaining match to watch as both sides didn't play as well as they can. The result though, was about right with Whitefield showing a little more industry and movement in attack.

Referee: Martin Sibley

PARKLANDS TIGERS 2001 B

Beat Duston Knights 8-3

Scorers: Tom Brian, Tomas Clarke, Adam Pedan 2, Jason Li, Stuart Harman 4

Team: Tosh Ayres 9, Janak Patel 9, Aaron Deepsign 9, Tom Brian 9, Shane Hiskey 9, Tomas Clarke 9, Chris O'Neil 9, Tom Beale 9, Adam Pedan 9, Jason Li 9, Stuart Harman 9, Damon Seymour 9, Scott Gangey 9, Jack Halsey 9, Jack Gookey 9, Josh Pebody 9

MOM: Stuart Harman

Report: A dynamic Parklands created goal-scoring opportunities. These were soon finished off by early Harmon goals. Duston never let go and Parklands had to work just as hard in defence as in attack. Parklands continued to use the space created to full advantage and in a short spell created a healthy lead. Duston refused to lie down and came back strongly in the last 15 taking full advantage of slack marking and poor formation discipline and scored some good goals. A well-earned win for Parklands, great spirit from Duston.

MOM: Thomas Van-Haaren, Russell Rainbow

Report: Scorpions played an excellent Brixworth team in great form. Despite showing glimpses of their potential. By half-time Scorpions were 7-0 down. To their credit Scorpions never gave up and in a battling second half they got two goals from Nathan Skinner and Harley Little. Well done Brixworth, champions to be.
