Harpole are celebrating a stunning quadruple after the team sealed Ken Parker Cup glory and the division one title within a matter of days.

Greg Ling got the vital goal to see them win the cup with a 1-0 win over AC Squirrels at Sixfields last week.

Squirrels made life hard for themselves after losing one of their players to a red card in the opening few minutes of play.

It was an uphill battle from that point, but Harpole pressure was well soaked up, with goalkeeper and man-of-the-match Ashley Starmer having the game of his life.

Harpole finally broke through thanks to danger man Ling seven minutes from time.

The quad was sealed days later when they came out on top of their title decider against AFC Houghton Magna.

Dan Surridge and Josh Winters both hit doubles in a 5-2 win, cup hero Ling chipping in with the other.

Magna scored through Alex Smith and Dean Humphreys.

The cup and league success adds to a bulging trophy cabinet which already holds the NFA Sunday Trophy and NTFA Teamwear Cup.

Ashley Inwood hit a hat-trick as St Margaret’s A eased to victory in the Araglen Cup final with a 4-1 win over Staples.

Maggies started well and dominated the first 20 mins and went 2-0 up but with Maggies keeper dislocated his finger and had to take a trip to hospital which bought a stand in keeper to replace him.

Staples’ goalkeeper kept the scoreline down to 4-1. James Alcock got Margaret’s other effort.

In Sunday’s premier division games, champions Sunnyside Corinthians swept aside struggling Royals 4-1.

James Church netted for Royals but goals from Courtney Herbert (2), Lewis Reynolds and Colin Cooper sealed another three points to leave a four-point gap between themselves and runners-up Standens Barn.

Spartak had to settle for runners-up spot in division two after going down 5-2 to champions Roade.
