Workshop Make it three
Worksop Town 3 Denaby United 2

Denaby United, beaten 4-0 at Denaby by Worksop in the Midland League on September 18, 4-0 at Worksop on January 8 in the Sheffield Senior Cup and on Saturday 3-2 at Worksop in the return Midland League game, must have felt they had killed the proverbial robin.

There was no scoring in a scrappy first half. Denaby were the more aggressive, but in the 52nd minute Dean put Worksop ahead, Denaby appealing without success were offside.

A Holmes centre, three minutes later, saw Duggan head the equaliser, in the 58th minute another Duggan goal put United ahead.

Two minutes later Barritt equalised and in the 65 minute he got the winner for Worksop.
