AFC Ludlow continued their late-season revival, their 3-2 victory at Wrens Nest making it back-to-back wins in Division One of the West Midlands League.
Kieron Dovey netted a goal in each half with Danny Gower also on target for Dave Cooper’s side who could still finish runners-up if rivals Hereford Lads Club fail to beat lowly Shenstone Pathfinders on Saturday.
Newcastle booked their place in the final of the Alf Sparey Cup after a 2-1 extra time victory at Presteigne Reserves.
The home side started the better and, after hitting the woodwork, opened the scoring with a 20-yard shot into the top corner.
But Newcastle forced their way back into the game and although injuries forced strikers Simon Oakley and Rhodri Jones off, they levelled before half-time through Carl Price.
The cup tie went into extra time and it was full-back Huw Williams who secured the win, scoring from the angle of the 18-yard box.
