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

THE WRENS CLIP BEESTONS WINGS

NOTTS SENIOR CUP
Round Three
RAINWORTH MINERS WELFARE 4 BEESTON FC 0
Notts New
Tonight took me to Kirklington Road, the home of Northern Counties East Club Rainworth Miners Welfare FC who hosted Notts Senior League club Beeston FC, Beeston FC had already had two good wins in the competition to reach this stage with a 2-0 away win at Eastwood Community FC and a home shock win against Teversal FC 3-2.

On arrivval, it was nice to meet up with old friends at Rainworth, in Les Lee and Gordon Foster who kindly donated £5 to the blogs charity, so a BIG thankyou to Gordon.

After I got a cuppa from Mrs Lee and the other Annes(they are all called Anne that run the tea bar), I joined Pete Chappell and had a quick chat before taking my place near the halfway way and joined by Peter Watmough.

Rainworth began the game brightly and were on the front foot, whilst Beeston defended well, but on 18 minutes LEWIS BINGHAM put the Wrens on front, the visitors from two steps in the pyramid down must have been dreading the worse, but all credit to them, as they held and battled well.

The Second Half began and I stood with Jim Bethall, where he has ordered his Notts Senior League Advanced Ticket and Badge Set, more details below.

 Beeston had a couple of chances through Vipond and Kennerdale, but the home keeper was in fine form. On 55 minutes, LEWIS BINGHAM not only doubled his tally but also his clubs when striking home from close range.

Beeston pushed forward but this left gaps at the back, but were unlucky when a double block on the line prevented them from reducing the score.

Rainworth made it 3-0 on 67 minutes, when MATTY SYKES cut in from the right and smashed the ball home. On 76 minutes, the visitors were reduced to 10 men when Jake West received his second yellow card of the evening.

Nearly with the final kick of the game, JACK BARNETT booked Rainworth's place in to the last eight of the competition where they will face a home tie against either Ruddington Village FC or Sherwood Colliery FC.

All credit must go to both sides who wanted to play football and Referee Stuart Richardson who I felt had a good match along with his two assistants.
