17th May 2026 Preview

It is Cup Finals weekend with seven games taking place at the Blackburn Leisure Club, Brough. There is also a re-arranged Division Two league game.

OVER 50`S DIVISION FINAL      KICK OFF 10.30AM

BRIGG TOWN  V  LOUTH   

The Over 50s Final between Brigg Town and Louth is a repeat of last year`s final which saw Brigg win an excellent game 2-1. This season the sides have met twice in the league with Brigg winning both 5-4 in September and 5-1 in February. Brigg will go into the final as favourites to win the Tony Whitton Trophy for the third successive season but know Louth will put up a performance as they did last May.

DIVISION SIX FINAL    KICK OFF 11.30 AM

MOLESCROFT RANGERS B  V  SWANLAND B  

Two sides making their Cup Final debut meet in the Division Six Final as Molescroft Rangers B take on Swanland B. Swanland are looking to complete the league and cup double but will remember that the two league matches provided them with two difficult games before they won both 2-1. Molescroft will be confident of producing a shock result.

DIVISION FIVE FINAL   KICK OFF 1.30PM

AAK S+S B    V   AFC WILLERBY C

Another side making its first cup final appearance are AAK S+S B when they face AFC Willerby C in the Division Five final. Willerby won both league encounters very easily but AAK have produced their best performances in the cup and they will need to do so again if they are to have a chance of upsetting the odds.

DIVISION FOUR FINAL   KICK OFF 3.30PM

AFC NORTH   V  GILBERDYKE PHOENIX

The top two teams in Division Four meet in the final when AFC North and Gilberdyke Phoenix go head to head. They have met only once this season way back on the opening day when Gilberdyke won 4-1. The sides meet again at the end of the month in what will be a title decider but whoever wins on Sunday will go into that game confident of completing the double.

DIVISION THREE FINAL  KICK OFF 12.30PM

NEWLAND   V  NORTHERN WANDERERS A

Newland and Northern Wanderers A meet in the Division Three Final after two extremely close league encounters. Northern won 3-2 at Newland and the other game ended in a 2-2 draw so another close game is likely between the two sides who are evenly matched Northern are looking for back to back final wins after their Division Four final win last season. Newland will be backed by a large vocal support. 

DIVISION TWO   KICK OFF 2.30PM

BOTTESFORD TOWN   V  SPRINGHEAD

Springhead go into their final against Bottesford Town as huge underdogs as their opponents are seeking the league and cup double. The two league games both went the way of Bottesford and it will be a massive shock if Springhead were to win, but in a one off game anything can happen. Bottesford won the Division Three final last season whilst Springhead were winners in 2024.

PREMIER DIVISION FINAL  KICK OFF 4.30PM

LORD NELSON   V  RECKITTS

Lord Nelson take on cup specialists Reckitts in the Premier Division Final which rounds off the day.  Reckitts have won this cup no less than twelve times and are the current holders. They still have to meet again in the league and the one game they have played this season went Reckitts way 6-0 back in January but Nelson are quietly confident that they can cause an upset.

DIVISION TWO LEAGUE GAME 

PRESTON UNITED  V  BOTANIC FIRE  ADDISON ROAD, PRESTON- REFEREE GED STEAD

Botanic Fire have given up home advantage against Preston United and will travel to Addison Road for this re-arranged game. They won at this venue on the opening day of the season and they will end their campaign where they started it way back in September. This will be their first game since losing on penalties after a 0-0 draw at Swanland in the Divisional Cup Quarter Final back in March. Preston were beaten 6-3 at home by Bottesford Town last Sunday.
