This year's Amateur Cup finalists are now known as Ivy Tavern secured their place in the final in emphatic fashion at Fulbeck United, to set up a showpiece against Cherry Knights.

Fulbeck had lost only once in their last 12 games but it was 'men against boys' as the city side ran out 8-2 victors.

Sam Allmond scored four goals (including his first hat-trick for the Ivy) with their other goals coming from Terry McDougall, John Robinson, Rick Robinson and Daz Walker.

Fulbeck's goals came from Dabid Broadbent (his first for the club) and Gavin Chapman.

In their first cup final in recent years Ivy will meet Cherry Knights at Lincoln Moorlands Railway on April 22.

The remaining three games all saw sides complete league doubles, with FC Rustons United winning at neighbours Ruston Sports, Waddington coming out on top at Horncastle Town and Market Rasen Town registering a massive victory over Blacksmiths, who have now conceded more than 200 league goals in just 15 games.

In the league, Cherry Knights continue to be considered title favourites as they overcame a Metheringham side who had won their last three league games.

Danny Kent was the man on target with a hat-trick for Cherry, with Mark Jordan scoring for Meg.

Ivy Tavern's cup exploits meant they lost second place as FC Rustons and Waddington United both overtook them with away wins.

FC Rustons were facing arch-rivals Ruston Sports with both sides without a league win in their last two games and, in an edgy game, the visitors won 3-2 to secure their first league double of the season. United's goals came from Alex Knibbs, Rob Cole and Lee Welbourn with Sam Coulson netting both Ruston Sports goals.

Also securing a league double and first league win in three games were Waddington United, who won 3-1 at Horncastle Town. Horncastle have now gone four league games without a win.

Mike O'Boyle netted twice and Kieron O'Boyle once for Waddington while Andy Shackleton scored for the home side.

The third league double of the day was at Market Rasen, who were entertaining bottom side Blacksmiths. For Rasen it was their biggest ever win in this league as they ran in 27 goals without reply as Blacksmiths conceded their 218th league goal.

Eight different players scored including a double hat-trick and five hat-tricks. Adam Brumpton got the double hat-trick with the hat-tricks for Joe Osbourn (4), Matt Rutherford (4), James Bennett (4), Ian Dawson (3), Jason Hall (3) plus a goal from Nick Melton.
