SUNDAY'S Knockout Cup final between Bretforton Old Boys and Red Horse was abandoned at half-time ue to excess surface water making conditions dangerous for the players.

Red Horse were leading through a Kays Sibanda goal and the match will now take place at Broadway United on Sunday (10.30am).

Later in the day, Littleton stages the Evesham Mechanical Services Subsidiary Cup final between Oddfellows Arms and Offenham Rovers, kick-off 5.30pm.

Bretforton will be hoping to record a double on Sunday having clinched the Division One title last week without kicking a ball when the Red Horse defeated Ambassador who had to win to clinch top spot.

Crowle clinched the second division title to record back to back promotions following a draw with nearest rivals Mickleton Rangers.

The champions scored through Burrows with Tye replying for Rangers.

Badsey Rec, meanwhile, saved their best performance until last but it came too late to avoid the drop as goals from Bishop (3), Griffin, Simms and Smith helped account for Alderton 6-1.

The promoted pair in Division Three shared the spoils as Golden Cross completed an excellent season when they achieved a league and Bluck Cup double.

Groves was on target for Cross with Bulford replying for Pinvin who have an Evesham Hospital Cup final to look forward too.

Third-placed Honeybourne Gate Inn completed their season by hitting Eckington for six thanks to goals from Williams (3), Haines, Sone and Reason. Eckington replied through Colwell and Kirkland.

Riverside sealed promotion from the fourth division after sharing eight goals with Anchor Fladbury.

The point proved enough as Pebworth lost to champions Lenches Lions who won 2-0 thanks to goals from Tom Waghorn.

Foxall scored twice for Riverside with Peterson doing the same for Anchor in a terrific game of eight goals.
