12th v Doe Lea (A) (AC qf) - the last four of the Alma cup was reached with relative ease, Ian Burrow and Simon Quigley with a 20 yard half volley. seeing them safely through. 0-2
19th v Hepthorne Lane (A) - Simon Quigley was once again in the goals and staveleys top marksmen got another three to add to Steve Shipp and Steve Johnson strikes in this 2-5 win in North Wingfield.
26th v Clay Cross (A) - if it was tight at the top before, there was barely a gnats wing between Staveley and the chasing pack, Steve Johnson and a Rob Langley penalty gave them the points in a 1-2 win but now just goal difference kept them at the top.
April
2nd v Coal Aston (H) - Ian Burrow kept the promotion bus moving with both goals in a 2-1 win, but there was still no breathing space as second place Angel Inn Athletic also won to stay level on points.
11th v Hyde Park (H) - Staveley gained promotion back to the top flight at the first time of asking with an emphatic 5-0 hammering of one time challengers Hyde Park, Simon Quigley scored twice Ian Burrow, Glynn Bytheway and Steve Johnson were the heros!!!
16th v Hasland Park Rangers (N- Duckmanton Lodge) (AC sf) - Staveley carried their league form into the cup and booked a final spot courtesy of a first half Strike from Ray Hill and a Steve Johnson header in the 70th minute, their lower league opposition had no answer. 2-0
23rd v Derbyshire Times (A) -With promotion already secured it was now all about the title and, going into the final game the top of the division could not be any closer.
Staveley did what they had to do by winning this game 1-2 with goals from Ian Burrow and Ray Hill but..now stick with this...
Third placed Angel Clowne could still be champions IF they won their last three games OR if they could win two and draw one AND improve their goal difference by six.*
Mastin Moor MW had finally done Staveley a favour by beating second placed Angel Inn Athletic who could now only draw level on points and would require an eight goal swing in their final game to take the title.
Staveley were already promoted by virtue of the second and third placed teams playing each other in the run in so therefore something would have to give and only one of those two teams would catch them, if results went right for them.
Perfectly clear then eh?
Third placed Angel Clowne got off to the perfect start by beating Hyde Park 4-1, but in the crucial second game they were defeated by Angel Inn Athletic 3-2. which meant that because Angel Clowne couldn't afford that defeat and Angel Inn Athletic needed to win by eight goals. Staveley Miners Welfare were promoted as....

CHAMPIONS!
(on goal difference)
incidentally Angel Clowne won their last game 7-3 and therefore would have won the league on goal difference had they not lost to Angel Inn Athletic.
The season was not over though as there was still the Alma Cup Final to come...
May
19th v Park Colts (N - Saltergate) (Alma Cup Final)...
Bob Green's Park Colts had a great start to this entertaining Alma Cup Final when Staveleys John Watson lobbed his own keeper with just ten minutes gone, and could have gone further ahead when Stuart Bargh fired just over, and Trevor Brough had a header saved.
But after half time Staveley came out in determined mood, Darren Kelk had come on for the unfortunate John Watson and it proved to be a tactical master stroke as Staveley were level within five minutes Rob Langleys intelligent lofted pass found Darren Kelk racing clear on the left and the substitute made made no mistake to smash the ball into the top corner.
1-1
Six minutes later Staveley were in front...Ian Burrow broke through the middle and was sent sprawling after a challenge by Dave Pugh and Simon Quigley converted the resultant penalty kick.
1-2 Staveley
Chances galore ensued first Rob Langley shot just wide with a freekick. Steve Johnson had a header palmed over the bar and Darren Evans fired just off target when well placed.
At the other end Trevor Brough was denied twice by fine goal keeping by Staveleys Neil Rimmington as was Daryl Roberts. Paul Clarke's cross flashed past the face of goal and Max Bailey headed wide and Rimmington once again saved from Neil Chambers.
but try as they might Park Colts just couldn't equalise and at the third attempt Staveley had finally been crowned Alma Cup....
CHAMPIONS!!!
Rob Langley was named man of the match and the trophy was presented by Chesterfield FC director John Plant to finish of a double winning season!!
