This was the first Sunday Cup appearance of Chapeltown Fforde Grene, a merger of former entrants Chapeltown Brazil and Fforde Grene. And it was the new look Leeds side who opened the scoring on 17 minutes, when Dempsey Smith controlled the ball well inside the penalty area and rifled home.
It could have been 2-0 five minutes later, when a superb cross field run set up Dominic Blair, whose fierce strike only just flew over the cross bar. Fforde's did have the ball in the net four minutes later but the goal was quickly ruled out for a push in the build up. HT 1-0.
Dengo (whose name is taken from an engineering firm - Drawing Office and Engineering Office) hadn't shown much in the first half but started the second period better and levelled the score on the hour mark, when Paul Jones applied the finishing touch to cross-cum-shot from out of the area.
A through ball from Fernando Moke released his Garforth Town colleague, Dempsey Smith, whose low shot beat the keeper to his right, restoring Fforde’s lead with just 7 minutes remaining.
The same due combined well for the third goal in stoppage time, when some neat interplay down the left, set up Smith for his hat-trick chance and he duly obliged, with a stunning strike so seal a 3-1 victory.
