Worksop Town are looking to end their season on a high as they travel to Hillsborough on Thursday evening to play Penistone Church in the final of the Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup.

The Tigers won their final game of the league season away from home at Atherton Collieries, securing a play-off place in the Northern Premier League- Premier Division. The Tigers, however were knocked out in the semi-final stage by Macclesfield at the Leasing.com Stadium.

Worksop’s opponents from South Yorkshire, Penistone Church, finished just one place outside the play-offs in the Northern Counties East Football League Premier Division, which is the 9th tier of English Football.

While Thursday’s opponents are yet to claim the trophy in this competition, the Tigers go in search of their 14th title.
