After lifting the Junior Cup earlier in the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Coningsby, the club’s reserves also won the ChromaSport Chairman’s Cup on Saturday.

The 1st XI could be in line to make it a treble of cups for the Broad Lane club tonight.

But they will have to overcome a Netherton side who are looking for their own league and cup double having pipped

Moulton to the Peterborough and District Football League Premier Division title.

Moulton Reserves have already completed their own version of the double as the runaway Division One champions won the Chairman’s Cup with an excellent 4-1 victory over Wittering Harriers on Saturday.

Wittering drew level with just 17 minutes remaining after a defensive error led to Andrew Moss scoring.

Moulton took control and restored the lead just seven minutes later through Simon Morgan.

As Wittering through the kitchen sink at Moulton looking for the equaliser it opened plenty of gaps at the back that

Harrox were able to take advantage and they added two further goals to ice the cake.

Firstly Declan Earth netted from the penalty spot before Sandall scored his second of the game to seal a 4-1 win.
