CHARITY NON LEAGUE FOOTBALL BLOG


Each year, me and my wife Hazel have decided to help a different CHARITY, by donating 25p every goal we see at the matches we attend.
Over the years, people and clubs from as far as Coxhoe in Durham down to Penzance in Cornwall have donated as we have visited the grounds and we have raised over £3,500 in the 4 seasons we have run the Charity Blog. As you can see from the Photo above, last season(2014-15) we raised £1325.00 for Support Dogs.

During the 2015-16 season, we are supporting 2 worthy causes

1. THE FOXTON CENTRE
2. INTEGRITAS

Both Charities aid homeless people and people with mental issues and vulnerable adults.So if you would
like to make a donation(no matter how small) and
you see me at a match, please come up to me or Hazel, we would be very grateful. All Donators will get a mention on the blog and the running total is on the left hand side.

Many Thanks

Rob & Hazel Hornby

ALL LEVEL IN LOCAL CLIFTON BRIDGE DERBY

Notts Senior League
Premier Division
DUNKIRK AFC 2 CLIFTON ALL WHITES FC 2
It's been a long time since Id visited the Ron Steel Sports Ground and visited old friends at Dunkirk, whilst their first team play in the Midland League, they entered a young side in to the Notts Senior League for the start of this season.

Today they faced local derby rivals from just over Clifton Bridge, Clifton All Whites FC who are towards the top of the table, whilst the Boatmen are in midtable.

The First Half Clifton possibly just edged it in a battle of midfield with both keepers not really having much to do, but All Whites just having the better of the few chances.

The Second Half began and on 48 minutes, All Whites gained a free kick just outside the home area to which SCOTT LITCHFIELD placed home.

To the credit of Dunkirk, they hit back on 51 minutes, when KAMRAM FROST got to the byline and squared the ball across the 6 yard box, to which it took a deflection and ended up in the net to make it 1-1.

This seemed to spur Dunkirk on and after 72 minutes, sub REID OWEN put them in front. this seemed to wake Clifton in to life as they pressed forward and had a couple of chances before in the 77th minute, BRETT SOIZA lobbed over the home keeper to make it 2-2.

In the final minute, Clifton appealed for a penalty but rref Mark Lever turned the claims away.

Must admit I felt all 3 officials all had a good game and both clubs were a credit in a match that was played in the correct spirit.

A friday evening fixture for your diarys is upcoming when Dunkirk AFC host Newark Flowserve on 8th January 2016
