RAILWAYMEN BOOK IN TO HOSPITAL CUP FINAL

Barnetby United sealed their place in the 2021-22 Hospital Cup Final following a 6-1 away win at Baltic Boys that saw them claim 15 points in group B with a game to go.
Down the slope, with the wind to their backs Barnetby flew out of the traps. Harry Finnis slotted home the opening goal on 4 minutes and a minute later captain Joe Scott headed home his 9th of the season following a sumptuous Greaves cross.
The Baltic Boys keeper pulled off 2 outstanding saves to keep his side in the game and his heroics were rewarded at the other end after 25 minutes as Baltic Boys  were awarded a penalty, that was duly dispatched by Csaba-Attila Portik.
2-1 at the interval, The Railwaymen restored their 2 goal lead on 49 minutes when Brendan O’Callaghan  battled his way through the Baltic box to riffle home his 50th goal for club.
He rounded out his hat trick with the 4th and 5th  goal before Tom Watson added the 6th.
Liam Jordan Popple and Greaves were a solid line and backed up by Steve Jordan,
Scott, Stothard and Green in defence with Gunn in goal.
