Admission £3

As I was setting up I was greeted by Mr Swinscoe who was sorting out the changing rooms for the players and setting out the pitch etc, Hazel got me a nice cuppa and then I settled down on the main gate as the cars entered the car park. Ryan the Awsworth manager true to his word bought a load of raffle tickets for the charity raffle to which Hazel and myself would like to thank everyone as she raised £31.00. Ryan was delighted with his prize of some beer after the final whistle.

The game kicked off and it was Flowserve who had the 1st chance of the game, when a dipping shot just floated over the crossbar, Awsworth hit back at the other end and put a shot narrowly wide.

As Id not got my stopwatch with me, I dont know the times of the goals, but a corner was taken by Awsworth and a superb shot flew in to the net by MICHALSKI,

After my half time cuppa, it was out to my groundhop stall, where Jim Bethall came along and ordered his advanced ticket, coach ticket and badge set, you still have time to order yours folks, please contact me on hornby60uk@yahoo.co.uk

As the game was going from end to end, Flowserve hit back with a equaliser, sadly it was at the far end of the pitch and couldnt see who scored it.

Awsworth nearly retook the lead, when a cross was headed in from close distance but the Assistant Refe made the right call with a offside decision.

At this stage the game looked as if it may well be going to extra time as it began to get colder, but a cross from the right wing bobbled in front of the Flowserve keeper and spun out of his hand and WHITEHURST was close up to blast in to the net.

Flowserve pushed everyone forward for a final attack and went close, but it was Awsworth Villa who take their place in the final on Saturday 14th May 2016 against either Clifton All Whites FC or Real United FC at Dunkirk FC 3pm kick off

The Running total for the charity now stands at £590.75p
