Eric Hand Challenge Cup Quarter-Final

WD Bushey swept aside fellow Premier Division side Old Fullerians 3-0 to set up a repeat of last season’s final against holders North Watford, with either St Josephs or Cassiobury Rangers in the final of Watford Sunday League's showpiece cup competition.

A hard-fought first half saw both sides giving as good as they received, but it was WD who broke the deadlock when Hamze Ali played through Dion Belle to net the opening goal.

In the second half, Belle scored his second after being set up thanks to a through ball from Tommy Twelves.

Twelves then rounded off the win after Fullerians failed to deal with a Daniel Flannagan cross.

Division One

Forza Watford have a two-point lead at the top of the table after they beat Chess United 4-1, with Giuseppe Delgaudio scoring a hat-trick supported by a goal from Matthew Forklin. George Adams replied for Chess.

In a rare event, both games in the double header between Watford Sports and Chalfont Saints ended in 0-0 draws, leaving Sports now five points off Forza in fourth place.

Division Two

The Cross got four points from of a possible six against West Herts to leave them with a nine-point lead at the summit of the table.

The Cross won the first game 5-3, Raphael Wiredu with a hat-trick and Stephfani Grimes-Ford and Michael McLean also netting. Liam Andrews, Evans Owusu and Ryan Whitehurst replied for The Stags.

Whitehurst was also target in the second match which ended in a 1-1 draw, with David Flannery replying for The Cross.

The Cross’s title hopes where helped as second-placed CF Fajeczka dropped two points as they were held 1-1 by Dunnings Bar.

Connor Cameron scored for the home side and Ryan Emmanuel netted for CF.

Sparta Phoenix heaped more misery on King George whose awful run of form continued after 2-0 and 5-1 defeats in their two games.

Max Smith and Ralph Thompson scored for Sparta in the first match, whilst in the return Smith struck twice and Thompson also again got on the scoresheet alongside Louis Moor and Craig Putman. Florjan Belegu netted King George’s consolation.

Division Three

Bricket Wood Acorns swept aside the team directly below them in the table, AFC Watford, 7-1.

Taylor Pope netted a hat-trick with James Adams hitting a brace and Scott Hurdle and Scott Orchard also on target. Joe Rock replied for the well-beaten home side.
