The Final Whistle - 5 February 2022

Willington WMC booked their place in the Norman Wright Trophy final with a 3-2 victory at Stanhope SSC. The visitors took the lead in the first minute with an excellent goal from Connor Winter and he added a second ten minutes later. Danny Wright pulled one back for Stanhope before half time but they went 3-1 down to a "very fortunate" penalty from Danny Lee. A 75th minute Ryan Embling header pulled it back to 3-2 but Willington held out when Stanhope pressed late on. Heighington or Middlestone Moor await in the final.
