Dog House will contest the final of the Norfolk Sunday Senior Cup final at Carrow Road after beating fellow league side Norman Wanderers 3-1.

On a heavy pitch Dog House were quickly out of the traps and took a fourth minute lead when Scott Woodgate scored from close range. Normans were finding it hard to get into the game and had keeper Stuart Palmer to thank for preventing a second goal for the home side soon after. Craig Terrington’s Bale like free kick was rocketing toward the top corner, before Palmer produced a magnificent save to push the ball over. Their relief though was short lived as Paul Timms made it two with a shot from the edge of the area. After the break, Normans were much brighter and deservedly pulled a goal back through Tom Amis. For a while, Normans battered the home goal without success, but with ten minutes to go, John Curtis produced a crisp volley from a Terrington free kick to put the home side through. Dog House will play Yarmouth side Windmill on May 15, but Normans, who still have a league and cup double in their sights, will rue their slow start to the first half.

There was mixed fortunes for our two league sides in the Intermediate Cup semi finals. Despite going ahead from a Scott Sutherland-Gray goal Riverside Rovers went down 2-1 at home to Lynn side Chilvers. It was disappointing for Rovers as this was their fourth semi final defeat at County level. On a brighter note though, there was a great 3-1 victory for Bell Inn as they reached the final after beating Kings Lynn side Lynn Napier 3-1. Goals by Josh Farrow, Jack Tarrant and Dale Simpson put the Norwich side through after a tough battle. This will be their second county cup final following their appearance in the Junior Cup Final in 2011.
