Precision Notts Senior League
Junior League Cup Semi Final
SOUTH NORMANTON TOWN 2 HUCKNALL ROLLS LEISURE RESERVES 0
Played at The Stag Ground, Kimberley MW FC
This semi final pitted top v second in Division One of the Notts Senior League, on Saturday South Normanton had won the Division One Championship, whilst Rolls had put space betweden themselves and other clubs to moved further in front in the battle for 2nd place, so tonights match was going to be a close encounter.
On arrival of both clubs, both bought £15 worth of raffle tickets for the blogs charity to which we are very grateful. The raffle in total raised £61.
Both sides began brightly and both had good chances to opening the scoring in front of the crowd of 56, both sides playing some very good football.
In the 35th minute, it was South Normanton who took the lead through SHAUN SMITH. After the break, I stood with old friend Phil Handley and Tom Leighton as Normo attacked and Rolls played on the break.
As thee game was in its dying moments, a ball was played out of midfield over the top of the Rolls defence, with Smith bearing down on goal, he chipped the keeper, who tipped the ball away but was outside his area, so the refere had no option to produce a red card, from the resulting free kick, the stand in keeper palmed it away to the feet of SHAUN SMITH who settled the tie to send Normanton in to the final against Kimberley MW Reserves at Basford United FC on 10th May.
After the match in the clubhouse, The manager of Sout Normanton Town came over to me and Hazel and told me that the lads had a whipround to add to the charity total of £22.55p, to take tonights total to £83.55p and take the blogs running total to a amazing £747.27p
