DKOS continued their excellent cup form at the weekend, coming from behind to beat Old Oscott 5-2 away from home.
The boys were able to advance in a third cup competition, whilst avenging a defeat from earlier in the season.
The away side were slow out of the traps, allowing Old Oscott to capitalise early on.
The home team went ahead after a cross from tee left hand side was met with a powerful header into the corner.
Full of confidence, Old Oscott doubled their lead soon after, with their striker converting a one on one.
Tensions threatened to boil over after a Bishop challenge sparked outrage from the home side, but any potential handbags were quickly squashed.
One of the most consistent traits the team have shown this season is impressive powers of recovery.
Not for the first (or last) time this season, DKOS began to shake off any early cobwebs and enter full on comeback mode.
After some poor defending from a corner, top scorer Jamie Gregory pounced at the near post to give DKOS a route back into the match before half time.
A focused DKOS emerged after the break with the bit between their teeth.
The chance to equalise soon arrived, after Gregory's determination proved too much for an Old Oscott centre half, who fouled the striker in the area.
Matt Bishop stepped up and does what he does best from the spot - buried it.
The momentum had shifted in DKOS' favour, and from that point on only one team looked like they were going to win the game.
DKOS took the lead for the first time in the game after Gregory pounced on a keeper fumble and lashed home from close range.
The onslaught didn't stop there, as Sam Ford added a fourth by arriving at the back post and smashing the ball past the Old Oscott keeper.
Man of the match Marco Zizzi (we've said that a lot this year) found a way to put the icing on the cake.
He took a short break from embarrassing his opposition to score a free kick from 25 yards out.
The lads ran out deserved winners in the end, which was clearly too much for some opposition players to handle.
DKOS sit in a good position coming towards the end of the year, as they it at the top of the league table and involved in three cup competitions.
It's one thing getting to the top, but staying their is a completely different challenge - one the team is relishing.
