Herts Sunday Intermediate Cup Semi-Finals

Rifle Volunteer will take on Mill End Sports in the final of the competition after they sealed a 1-0 win against Tudor Arms.

It was an excellent all-round team performance from Rifle to dispatch the cup favourites, who were previously unbeaten this season. The early exchanges were cagey as both sides struggled to find any rhythm on a tricky surface.

Rifle managed to carve out a couple of opportunities and Andy Lomas and Andy Tobias had shots saved. Tudor had the best chance of the first half when their forward broke through on goal but saw his effort well saved.

The second period continued to be a tight and cagey affair with both teams struggling to break down the defences.

Extra-time seemed inevitable but Gary Froy had other ideas. He picked up the ball in the opposition half, burst past three players and calmly slotted the ball home.

The last nine minutes saw Tudor throw men forward but a magnificent defensive effort ensured Rifle came away with the victory.

Rifle can now look forward to their first ever County Cup final and savour an outstanding victory.

Mill End Sports booked their place in the final with a convincing 3-1 win against Headstone Athletic.

Matt Morris, Dean Brownsell and Andy Pryor were all on target in the victory.

Terry Devereux President's Cup Round One

Cassiobury Rangers played their first match in three months and that lack of match action eventually proved crucial as they were beaten 5-2 by West Herts after extra-time.

Rangers had taken the lead when a swift passing move between Michael Tomkinson, Jack Henley and Brima Johnson resulted in the latter having a shot saved but the rebound was converted by Joe Mortimer.
