Gaz Curtis made the tie safe with Blidworth’s third eight minutes from time before rounding off the win with a late penalty.

Unbeaten Penistone Church lead the Northern Counties League First division but met their match in Sherwood Colliery who came back from West Yorkshire with a 2-1 win under their belts.
