Notts Senior League
Division Two
BILSTHORPE RESERVES 1 WATNALL ATHLETIC 3
Last seasons Division Two runners up Watnall Athletic travelled upto Bilsthorpe for a 6.30pm kick off, on arrival I was greeted by match referee Colin White and by the Bilsthorpe manager.
The game kicked off in the sunshine and with only 83 seconds on the clock, a corner from the right was met at the back post by captain JOE BROOKES to give the visitors the lead. Athletic were quick off the mark as in the 4th minute, debutant CORY BOWLER burst through and doubled the lead to 2-0.
As the half proceeded, Danny Fry forced the home keeper Scott Marshall in to a tremendous save after 20 minutes. The home side began to come more in to the game, with Ryan Cooper causing problems on the right wing and Scott Ricketts in the middle.
After 28 minutes, Bilsthorpe were back in the game when a through ball found RYAN COOPER in the clear and he blasted past Matt Gooch in the Watnall net to reduce the arrears.
In to the Second Half and Bilsthorpe had a lot more going forward on the attack and created several worthy chances of a equaliser but the away defence held strong. With 13 minutes to go, Watnall wrapped up the points, when a corner from the right side, ended up with JOE BROOKES slamming home from close range.
A good entertaining game played both clubs and no cards issued by referee Colin White on the night who had a very good game.
