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

VILLA MOVE UP TO THIRD

Notts Senior League
Premier Division
AWSWORTH VILLA FC 3 DUNKIRK AFC 1

Had to go to Awsworth to have a quick Groundhop meeting as they are the visiting side to Attenborouh FC on Friday 29th April 2016 with a 6.30pm kick off. Always one of my favourite grounds is Villa's with the ground in a bowl shape and superb view of the action on the pitch from the top of the hill. After a quick chat with the 3 match officials, I got myself a cuppa and was soon joined by Ilkeston local Alan Savage who got his advanced Groundhop Ticket and ordered his badge set.

The game kicked off with a wind blowing right down the centre of the pitch and with the homesters with it at their backs, within 80 seconds, a ball was played back toward the home keeper which took a bobble and just went wide. Dunkirk were on the front foot and the keeper spilled the ball from a swirling corner but his defence were there to clear before any damage caused. The game then went end to end with both sides playing the ball on the floor and on 22 minutes, JOSH NIBBLETT put the Villa in front. The lead didnt last very long as the Boatmen of Dunkirk were soon level on the half hour when JOEL HOWES rose and headed home from a corner on the left hand side.

Most the game I spent with League Chairman Ian Kirk and we were impressed with both sides on view. Awsworth pressed forward and the Dunkirk keeper kept them at bay until the 72nd minute, when RYAN WHITEHURST struck a shot from a acute angle in to the net to give the Villa a 2-1 lead. The match was still there for either side with Dunkirk playing on the break and Awsworth hitting the post but the game was put to bed in the final minute when sub KURT SAVAGE headed home Awsworth's third.

Must say I felt all 3 officials had a very good match and let the game flow.
