DKOS put in a stellar performance, securing a 2-1 victory away to Dudley Rangers.
The significance of the victory was threefold; the team secured a semi final place in the Midlands-wide County Cup, they recorded a fourteenth straight win in all competitions, and they ended Rangers' unbeaten run which stretched back twenty games.
The quality of the two teams was evident early on, with the game finely poised in a tense first half.
With both sides refusing to budge, DKOS found a way to break through.
Bishop's excellent delivery from a free kick was met by Jamie Gregory, who killed the ball dead with his first touch before burying the ball in the bottom corner with his second - the eighth game in succession where he's found the net.
Rangers sought to make a game of proceedings however.
Some intricate footwork from the Rangers striker saw him one on one from close range, and he promptly found an equlaiser.
The home side arguably should've been down to ten men for a last man foul on Gregory, but the referee waved away any protests.
Before the first half was over, DKOS were able to dig deep and take back control.
Gregory turned provider, as his weaving run and cross from the left hand side was met by Sam Ford at the back post, who doesn't miss chances like that.
The second half was one of few chances, but it was a battle from start to finish.
Tensions threatened to boil over, but the boys were able to keep their heads in trying circumstances.
DKOS were able to hold on for an incredibly hard fought victory, made all the sweeter by the sheer effort every player exerted for one another - a second semi final of the season isn't a bad consolation prize either.
