Pride of place goes to County Senior Division 3 newcomers Staveley MW, who despite fielding an under strength side went to premier division East Pennine and clinched an excellent 2-0 victory. Pennine currently riding high in the top flight and undefeated in the league failed to score for the first time this season.
Staveley's Steve Shipp (above) headed home John Seels corner with just ten minutes left before makeshift striker Shane Turner made the game safe late on.
Staveley crashed out in the next round to Northern Counties East League side Stocksbridge Park Steels losing 5-0 with all the goals coming in the first half.

STAVELEY STEP UP TO THE TOP
Staveley MW went top of the Whitbread County Senior Division Three after a 2-2 draw with fellow title chasers Throstles Ridgeway.
Staveley took a first half lead when Ady Wells scored on his debut. Unbeaten Throstles levelled through Greg Mattocks in the 75th minute and looked set for victory when sub Richard Coleman scored nine minutes from time.
But Staveley salvaged a point in a dramtic finale when a goal bound chip by ex-Chesterfield striker Phil Greaves (wonder what he's doing now...) was brilliantly pushed round the post by a defender, who was duly dismissed before John Seels converted the penalty.
