Woodseats had approached Broomhill about the idea of a memorial trophy to be played for when the clubs played each other, after the tragic death of Broomhill's goalkeeper late last year.

The first game played late last month ended 2-2.
Pirates took the honours after a penalty shoot-out.

SDFPL Forum - Fantasy Football Euro 2008

The forum's Euro 2008 Fantasy Football competition has been won by :-

Joe Williams - Williams' Wizards

Well done to Joe, he will shortly receive his prize of a Brazil replica shirt.


The F.F. competition will return in a few weeks in time for the new Premier League Season.


SDFPL Fixtures:- Steel City Derby, 19th October

The Sheffield Wednesday Vs Sheffield United game has been moved to Sunday the 19th October.

As with last season, we were planning on not staging any SDFPL fixtures on derby days as most teams have season ticket holders for both clubs which can cause problems.

Because of the 24hour delay in the game for TV coverage, we will now use the 18th for league fixtures as normal.

2008-2009 SDFPL Divisional Select Match - Div One Vs Div Two

The league decided to hold it's divisional select game as a curtain raiser to the cup final at Bramall Lane.
The game was staged for the first time last season where the big boys from the top flight triumphed 6-2 over the second division side at Swallownest Miners Welfare.
On the bigger stage it was a lot closer this time round as the second division boys were out for revenge.
Both teams created good chances but the top flight boys edged to a second consecutive victory when Swallownest's cup tied striker Ricki Watson fired home into the far corner.
