Rawmarsh St. Josephs 4 Kilnhurst St. Thomas 1
It was ‘All Saints’ with St. Thomas and St Josephs hoping to win the inaugural Brian Hyde Cup at Goldthorpe Welfare. The Kilnhurst team that took the lead after 17 minutes when Jake Davis rocketed a freekick from 25 yards right into the top right hand corner of the net. On the stroke of half time, the prolific Lucy Asher equalised for St. Josephs – tapping in after a scramble.
In the second half St Thomas sat really deep and there was continued pressure from St Joseph which resulted in another goal for Lucy Asher bundled with her midriff from close range. Oliver Francis slotted home a penalty before providing a cross which gave Evan Kalombo a tap in to complete the scoring as St Josephs went marching in.
