Worksop Town reach third Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup final in a row

Much-changed Tigers showed their strength with their squad being far too strong for Rossington.

“Yeah it’s pleasing to get through to the final, and it’s a cup that we hold in high regard. We want to go and win it again," said manager Craig Parry.

"It was important that we put an extremely strong side out tonight but, at the same time giving people game time.

“To go out there and get a win and put ourselves into a final is really pleasing and we move onto Saturday now ready to get back to the league.”

The Tigers made seven changes to Saturday’s team, with Jay Rollins making his first start since coming back from a lengthy injury.

Worksop weathered an early storm from Rossington and managed to get the first goal as Young Chae Whitman-Brown hit a fantastic strike for the opener on the 14th minute.

On the 40th minute, Whitman-Brown got his second after receiving the ball in the box and placing the ball into the bottom right corner.

In the second half, the Tigers scored once again as a ball over the top found Vaughan Redford who cooly finished to secure a three-goal lead.

Rossington Main pulled one back after a scramble in the box was finished by George Noble with a driven effort into the bottom left corner on the 61st minute.

Worksop restored their three-goal advantage on the 79th minute, as Whitman-Brown capitalised on a mistake from visitors’ keeper Thomas Wallace before laying it across to Aleks Starcenko who hit a thunderous strike into the roof of the net.

Luke Hall scored the pick of the bunch as he carved through the Rossington defence and got one-on-one with the keeper before dispatching his shot into the back of the net.

The Tigers will now look to make it three wins in a row this weekend against Radcliffe FC at the Windsor Foodservice Stadium.
