Iron hosting Lincolnshire FA County Sunday Cup Final

Scunthorpe United has been asked to host the Lincolnshire FA County Sunday Cup Final, which will take place on Sunday, April 12th (10.30am kick-off) between local side Ashby FC and Ruston United.

The trophy, which is currently with Humberston FC after they beat Black Beauty in last year's final, will once again be played at the home of the Iron.

Coincidentally, last year's final was played out again in Round One of this season's competition, with Humberston edging the tie 1-0 on the day.

For Ashby, they received a bye in Round One before overcoming The Trawl (6-1) in Round Two. The third round saw them beat Old Clee Sewell (3-1) before advancing past Metheringham (3-0). The quarter-final saw them see off the holders (3-1) before triumphing over Nettleham in the semi-final (4-1).

Meanwhile Ruston United, based in Lincoln, also had a bye in the first round before beating Jolly Brewer (3-1) in Round Two. Next they overcame Ruston Sports (4-0) before a convincing win over AFC Saxilby (6-2). They also brushed aside Sands Cleethorpes and Grimsby Charity (6-1) before a quarter final win over the Crown Inn (4-0). Their semi-final opponents, Hykeham Town, would take them all the way to penalties after a draw after 90 minutes (1-1), with the side winning 4-3 on penalties.
