Only three games went ahead in a weather-affected KP Evans and Co Colchester and East Essex League schedule, but both the Lexden Memorial Cup semi-finals were completed thanks to the University of Essex allowing the use of their facilities.

Monkwick felt the full force of Real Ravensdale and must have wished they had not turned up.

A brace for Andy Reed and one apiece for Richard Beet, Neil Brooks, Simon Cottrell, Dan Finlay, Joe Hinchcliffe and an own goal were enough to put them into the final with an 8-0 win.

Great Bentley A had to fight all the way against a stubborn Stoke by Nayland.

Goals from Sean Cardy, Toby Doyle and Paul Turner put them into a 3-0 lead only to let a goal from Luke Cowan on the edge of half-time make it 3-1.

Stoke came out all guns blazing but, with two tremendous saves from the Bentley keeper, realised it was not going to be their day and 3-1 was all they had to show for it.

The final will be on May 7 at Stanway Rovers.

honours In division one, Wimpole 2000 continued their quest for honours, hitting a luckless AXA FC for seven with only one in return.

A hat-trick for Terry Farmer and two each for Chris Arkley and Sam Dunt did the damage in this one-sided affair.

Steve Wolton got AXA's consolation goal.
