IT was third time lucky as three of the outstanding Premier (Majestic Trophies) KO Cup quarter-final ties were completed.
Remarkably, three of the successful sides, still have eyes on a triple.
Current Premier Premier table toppers Nuthall reached the semi-final after a 4-2 win at Trowsers.
Nick O'Dowd put Nuthall on the back foot after 25 minutes, but the lead lasted 11 minutes before Mdriciay Krasniqi scored a penelty.
Tommy Kemp restored the advantage within 60 seconds only for Ryan Johnson to grab the equaliser just after the break.
He then gave Nuthall the lead for the first time 20 minutes later. It was still nip and tuck before Tyrone Burton eased the pressure for the visitors with eight minutes remaining.
There was almost an upset at Premier Two Burton Joyce 'A', where the hosts went two goals behind to T8's. Andy Start headed the first and then Jack Allen struck a solo effort.
The hosts deservedly pulled a goal back but they could not add to this.
Wollaton Pirates saw off The Crown Inn 2-1 with goals from Alex Doyle and Francesco Labbate. It leaves them in two semi-finals and they are in with a chance of the Premier One title.
In the Premier Premier, two goals from Marik Vipond and another from Anthony Gregory clinched a 3-2 win over Carlton Top Spot, who hit back with two from Darren Oldham.
Plough Barfly's appear to have overcome their recent problems as Jonty Bradshaw and a brace from Michael Bannister proved enough to outgun Old Colonial, who responded with a pair from Scott Litchfield.
There seems little to stop Station Hotel in Premier One after a 5-1 mauling of LA FC. Dean Longdon (3) and Nick Lovett (2) shared the goals.
Robin Hood had Jason Whalley scoring twice in a 5-2 win at Stratford Haven.
Nottingham Rangers put themselves in mid-table comfort as Chris Barnes, Lee Serivner, Ryan Smith, Olly Vickers and Matt Gamble scored in a 5-2 win over Nottingham United.
The Empire are enjoying their late start to life in Senior Two, as they recorded their fourth successive win, since picking up the outstanding fixtures of East Leake Bantams.
But it was a close shave, as they pulled off a 5-4 win over bottom side County NALGO. Joe Ashurst (2), Jake Wright (2) and Paul Parkinson shared the goals, with Steve Smith, Jamie Moore and Simon Warburton, almost clawing the game back.
Matt Jelly's hat-trick, supplemented by Cameron Copeland's goal, proved decisive as Rempstone easily saw off the challenge of Edwalton.
Premium were struggling for a side and 58-year-old secretary, Kev Drewery, was drafted into goal.
He did well as Premium went ahead in eight minutes at Premiere Travel with a stunning solo effort from Omari Sadler.
But they were pegged back 20 minutes later when a handball was punished with a spot kick.
It was one way traffic in the second half, with Matt Lane and William Bennett adding to the tally.
Unfortunately the home side were reduced to ten men soon after as a player was injured and could not continue. The floodgates opened with two more from Sadler, another by Bennett and a further goal from Jason Jacques
The Senior Section quarter-finals were also completed.
Results went to form, but there were a couple of encounters that could have caused a shock. Senior Two leaders Nottingham Maintenance just missed out by the odd goal in nine to Nottingham Pirates from the division above. Josh Loscalzo netted twice, supplemented by efforts from brother, Donato, Liam Feeney and Brendan Shiggins.
Jason Brunt also bagged a couple, with one each from Josh Simons and Ndema for the hosts.
Senior Three outfit Heath Hill almost surprised Lenton Villa from two tiers higher. But goals from Gary Wright (2), Reiss Neal and Pat Neal ensured Villa went through to the semi-finals.
Birchover Park eased the way into the last four by disposing of Nottingham Breakdown 7-3. Gary Harris (3), Jonathan Andrews, James Owen, Frank Divivo and Dean Tebbutt scoring.
Kirkby Town look on course for a league, KO Cup and County Cup triple, as they coasted past Tricolore 7-0, thanks to a Kyle Ludlow hat-trick, two from Chris Watson and one each to Gary Armstrong and Thomas Cresswell.
