Weather again caused issues for the Newark Alliance Sunday football leagues with several matches called off.

There was still plenty of action available for dedicated spectators with a number of cup and league games going ahead.

The first saw Walesby scrape the win against home side RHP at the Newark YMCA.

The other saw The Duck scrape the bragging rights against the other home side, Farnsfield Villa thanks to two goals from Joe Bilton who backed up after scoring the winner for Collingham the day before in the Notts Senior League.

Walesby will now take on the winner of Holy Trinity versus Bottesford in the semi-final.

The Duck will compete against the winner of RHP Firsts versus Hawtonville in their semi-final.
