Cup holders Asfordby FC Development beaten in semi-finals

They looked on course for a repeat of last year’s final against Wymeswold FC Reserves when Jamie Felstead’s strike gave them a 1-0 half-time lead.

But Division Three champions Sporting Markfield Reserves turned it around in the second half as Asfordby were reduced to 10 men.

A brace from Callum Rousseau and goals from Dominic Phillips and sub Ryan O’Connor gave Markfield a 4-1 win.

Yet Asfordby will have the consolation of back-to-back promotions to Division One if rivals Woodhouse Imperial fail to win their final match against Division Two champions Wymeswold on Saturday.
