Not only did they reach their first cup final with a 6-2 semi-final romp against Music Solutions, they also sealed the Division Two title as nearest rivals Farcet were beaten 3-2 at home by Cardea.

DSV have won all six of their league games this season.

Ben Cowles (2), Dan Gargan (2), Ben Leisner and Calum Parker scored the DSV semi-final goals. They will be underdogs in the final though as crack city side Ploughman provide the opposition.

Ploughman have lost their Division One crown. George, Warmington sealed their first top-flight crown with a 2-1 win at West Raven, Elliot Rowe and Ben Lockley scored the goals for a side who won seven of their eight matches.

It completes a remarkable rise for George who started in Division Four four years ago and have won promotion every season since.

Ploughman were in early trouble against Division Two strugglers Dreams in their semi-final. They still trailed 2-0 after 40 minutes before scoring three goals in the five minutes leading up to the break.

But the second-half turned into a rout as Ploughman ran out 11-3 winners. Captain Ondre Odain led the way with a hat-trick while Dan Ginty and Kyle Orange scored twice. Dan Fountain, who also missed an early penalty, Andrew Bradley, Josh Rosser and Lewis McManus also netted.
