Swinton Fitzwilliam held on to win the Brian Hyde Cup against a valiant Goldthorpe team that grew into the game at Mexborough Rangers JFC.

Luke E had two moments of magic in the first 10 minutes to put the Swinton team ahead before Goldthorpe had settled. Luke’s first was a free-kick arrowed in from way out on the top touchline. Luke’s second was smashed in to the roof of the net after he had blocked a goal-kick.

In reply, Goldthorpe’s Bobby M drove Goldthorpe forwards setting up Brodie H whose shot was blocked.

It wasn’t until the second half that the Dearne school’s attacks were rewarded with a goal – Jayden J dispatching a penalty awarded for handball.

The last 15 minutes were end to end. Goldthorpe had several opportunites that were all snuffed out by the on-rushing Jacob W in the Swinton goal. Fitzwilliam’s attacks were fruitless thanks to the speed and tenacity of Logan S in defence.

Fitzwilliam’s road to victory included a replay in one round and a Golden Goal in the semi-final. Goldthorpe should take heart from reaching a final in their comeback season after 7 years without taking part in Don & Dearne competitions.

Goldthorpe’s ⭐ = Bobby M
