AFC Wanderers will face Acle Rangers in the final of this year’s Copy I.T. League Cup as both sides won their semi finals in dramatic fashion this weekend.

After an even first half; Aaron Kay put AFC ahead with 20 minutes left, only for Isaac Catchpole to equalise five minutes later. The game went into extra time and saw Normans reduced to ten men after a clash, but they took the lead when Danny Wynne fired home. With time running out Luke Tuttle pushed forward and was rewarded with the equaliser when he headed home a long throw from close range. The penalty shoot out saw AFC deadly from the spot and they reached the final winning 5-4. In the other semi final Bayer FC held a one goal half-time lead at home to Acle Rangers, but the visitors grabbed an equaliser through James Foreman to take the game into extra time, where a Peter Nobbs penalty two minutes from the end put Acle through to the final which will be held at the Football Development Centre on May 5.

In the Premier Division, Marlborough moved three points clear at the top with a 4-2 (Jason Armes 3, Colin Wines) victory over Dog House.
