A top ex-pro could stand in the way of Netherton United's hat-trick bid, plus the latest cup final results

Midfielder David Norris was raised in the city and played professionally for Bolton Wanderers, Plymouth Argyle, Ipswich Town, Portsmouth and Leeds United among others before a brief stint at Posh in the second-half of the 2014-15 season.

He’s now a squad member at Peterborough League Division One side Whaplode Drove Rovers who tackle Netherton in the Challenge Cup Final at Deeping Rangers FC on Friday (May 2 7.30pm kick off). The 44 year-old, who is now a physical trainer, has played twice for his latest club including a recent defeat at Netherton in a league game when he apparently indicated he would be involved in the cup final.

Netherton are seeking a treble of sorts having won the Northants Lower Junior Cup to follow promotion from Division One as runners-up. Whaplode Drove finished fourth.

The city side beat Northampton Combination Division One outfit Rushden FC 2-0 at Wellingborough Whitworth FC in their first cup final with goals from top scorer Kyial West and Charlie Pywell. West was named man-of-the-match.

Thorpe Wood Rangers are also celebrating a County Cup Final win. The unbeaten Peterborough Division Four Champions beat Northampton Combination Division Three title winners Daventry Hobbs 3-1 in the Northants Area Cup Final at Rushden & Higham FC. Connor Pilbeam, Ethan Bennett and Jordan Giddings scored the goals.

The Peterborough League’s Junior Cup Final at Deeping Rangers last Friday was a thriller between Division Three rivals Stanground Cardea Sports Reserves and South Lincs Swifts.

And the trophy went out of town the Swifts won 4-3 after scoring twice in the last six minutes, including a last-gasp penalty. KIeran McConnell despatched the crucial spot-kick having also scored earlier from open play. Keilin Spurdens and Dawid Gos also scored for the winners who came from behind three times after two goals from Charlie Webb and another from Giles Abban.

Stanground Cardea Sports Development team did clinch the Sunday Morning League Division Two title with a 9-0 win over Oundle Town. Jae Mead hit a double hat-trick.
