Both won their semi-finals 2-1 on Saturday (March 25). ICA pipped Division One promotion-chasers Warboys at Ringwood, while Pinchbeck came out on top against Peterborough Sports Reserves in a clash of the top-flight heavyweights at Knight Street.

The final will be a special moment for ICA manager Hamish Curtis who was on the books of Peterborough United as a youngster and made one appearance for the club in a Rumbelows Cup quarter-final replay at Middlesbrough in 1992.

Second-half goals from Harley Williams and Josh Smith either side of an Arry Scarborough strike secured ICA’s win, but they will start the final as underdogs against title-chasing Pinchbeck.

Inevitably Pinchbeck goal-machine Ollie Maltby proved the difference in a scrappy game against Sport Reserves. He scored twice before Gary Gibbs grabbed a late consolation for the city side.

Pinchbeck failed in a cheeky attempt to sign Netherton United’s fleet-footed hotshot Tom Randall last week.

Randall is the second highest scorer among Premier Division clubs with 34 goals (Maltby has an astonishing 54). He struck a hat-trick in Saturday’s 5-1 win over Leverington at the Grange which helped keep the city side in fourth place. Moulton Harrox remain third after a cosy 5-1 win at Silton with Joe Townsend scoring twice.

The brilliant for of Stamford Lions continued with a 10-2 thrashing of AFC Stanground Sports.

That’s 10 top-flight wins in a row for Lions. Luke Ball and Rob Forster both claimed hat-tricks in what was the start of a memorable weekend for the former.

Ball, who has scored nine goals in his last four Lions’ appearances, netted five times for Bretton North End Reserves in a Peterborough Sunday Morning League match the following day.

Josh Ford scored twice for Holbeach Reserves in a 6-1 win over Langtoft United, while Wisbech Town Reserves beat Thorney 3-1 with all their goals arriving before the break.

Sawtry and Ketton played out an eight-goal thriller with the home side winning 5-3.
