The ace marksman wreaked havoc on opposing defenders once again with another scintillating display of sharp-shooting in Cups’ Ken Pemberton Cup clash with Noahs Ark.

The boys from the Ark were well and truly sunk as Potts struck seven times in the 8-0 win to take his tally for the season to a staggering 28 in seven games,

Ben Moore, with a fine 20-yard strike, added the other goal.

AFC Bentley beat Netherton FC 2-1 to progress in the Birmingham County FA’s Roger Wood Memorial Cup.

Warstones Wanderers Sunday went down 4-2 to AFC Four Crosses in the Staffs County Sunday Premier Cup.

Premier Division leaders Penn Tandoori Sundats were forced to hit the comeback trail to secure their fifth win in six league outings.

Sundats’ unbeaten record looked in danger as two goals from Emerald Athletic’s Loui Harper put his side in charge at half-time.

But Sundats turned up the heat in the second half and roared back to take the points thanks to strikes from Jordan Uppall, Ben Perks and a superb drilled effort from Jay Holdcroft.

TK Wanderers made it six of the best in Division One.

Jake Sharma scored twice and Josh Carvel and Curtis Ellis once each as Wanderers made it six wins on the spin.

Second-placed Tettenhall Royal Oak sit three points behind following a hard-fought victory at home to Royal George.

Visitors George started brightly but were made to pay for not making their early dominance count when Peter Usieki fired Tettenhall ahead.

And it got worse for the visitors with Tettenhall showing a clinical touch in front of goal to go 3-0 up courtesy of strikes from Joel Sardong and Connor Pugh.

George were on the scoreboard before half-time when Ellis James headed home.

The visitors cut the deficit to one with 20 minutes remaining thanks to a smart finish from Adam Herbet. Five minutes injury time add to the tension but Tettenhall held out.

The win leaves Essington two points behind Azaad but with a game in hand.

Mitchell Kerry bagged the only goal of the game to secure the points for UTC Collins at Barley Mow Wanderers.

Third-placed Dynamo 50 Stile added to struggling Wednesfield 86’s woes as they won 7-1.

Summerhill missed the chance to go top of Division Three as they suffered a shock defeat.

But they came unstuck, 2-1, against Dudley United on home soil.

Churchill Royal Oak hit top form to sweep aside Ashmore.

Joshua Jones (two), Jonathan Brown, Thomas Rayson, Alex O’Conner, Calum Rowley and James Thomas all hit the net in the 7-3 success.
