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

LAST SECOND ABBOTT STUN CAVS

Notts Senior League

Senior Division

SANDHURST FC 1 FC CAVALIERS 1

As a lot of games fell foul of the weather, my first choice game survived and the pitch looked great all credit to the Sandhurst FC staff.

On arrival,  was greeted by Bob "Mr Sandhurst" Crawford and was made a nice cuppa by his daughter Nat.

Took up my position in the far side of the pitch and was soon joined by Kirton Brickworks FC Chairman Tony, Sandhurst could well have taken the lead in the first minute when Cox fluffed inside the six yard box.

It then began a midfield battle with not really many chances and at half time, I was wondering if I was brave or stupid to be standing out on the pouring rain to watch a 0-0 draw.

The Second Half I stood with a ex Clifton All Whites Reserves Manager who has recently moved in to the area and after a hour the deadlock was broken when the home defender was robbed by LIAM TAYLOR who burst through to slip the ball past the outcoming keeper.

Sandhurst pushed forward and had a few misses, as the darknees decended in,a free kick was awarded some 30 yards out, which was struck by DAN ABBOTT which seemed to dip at the final second and ended up nestling in to the net to the surprise of everyone in the ground, this being the last kick of the game. A fair result on the whole for both clubs in a game that could have gone either way.

THE WRENS CLIP BEESTONS WINGS

NOTTS SENIOR CUP

Round Three

RAINWORTH MINERS WELFARE 4 BEESTON FC 0

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.

BOULTON BREEZES CLIFTON INTO QUARTERS

NOTTS FA JUNIOR CUP

Round Three

SKEGBY UNITED FC 1 AFC CLIFTON 3

after Extra Time

Been to Sutton Lawns many times in the past to take Shawn to the park, but never to watch a football match, so today that had to be put right..I was greeted near the changing rooms by Skegby Manager SimonPridmore.

Afc arrived late thinking it was a 2pm kick off and with it being a 1.30pm kick off, made the game late.

The game saw Clifton attacking with the wind to their backs, but it was the home side that had the first chance, when Jorden Coleman saw his shot go wide of the target. After 12 minutes, the visitors had a short corner on the right side and CONNOR BOULTON crossed in to the box, but the wind took the swerling ball over the keepers head in to the net.

Clifton pressed forward  and Skegby did well to contain them as the wind played its part, to credit to both sides they both tried to play good decent football on the ground.

On 65 minutes, BEN LORD received the ball 25 yards out and lashed the ball forward and it dipped over the keeper to level up the scores.

As we kicked off late, the referee was very concerned about the game ending as we entered extra time and offered both teams 10 minutes each way but Skegby wished to play the 15 minute each way and if abandoned then the game would have to start all over again next Saturday.

100 minutes in to the game and CONNOR BOULTON hit a corner kick from the right and it ended up in the net to give them a 2-1 lead.

With light fading, with two minutes remaining, the visitors broke away and CONNOR BOULTON completed his hat trick and send AFC Clifton in to the Quarter Finals where they have earnt a home tie against Bilsthorpe Reserves.

Photos from the game can be seen HERE

Finally must comment how I thought how well the ref handled todays match.

WALSH THE AWSWORTH HERO

Notts Senior League

Premier Division

WEST BRIDGFORD FC 0 AWSWORTH VILLA FC 1

Awsworth Villa visited a windy Regetta Way, the home of league leaders and put together a great team effort to leave with three well earnt points.

The game began in the wind blowing down the pitch with West Bridgford having it behind their backs and they had the first chance of the afternoon that went begging, meanwhile after 7 minutes, Awsworth were forced to change their game plan when Matt Goodwin had to be replaced due to injury.

West Bridgford continued to press forward, but Matt Walsh in the visitors net was dealing with everything in front of him.

After 32 minutes, Awsworth broke forward and DANNY WALSH turned a stroked te ball past Mart to give his side the lead.

The Second Half saw Awsworth on the front foot, whilst the homesters played on the break, and Bridgford's task became morw difficult when they were reduced to ten players when central defender Simon Labatte was dismissed.

Awsworth had several more chances to double their lead mainly when Whitehurst missed a sitter from inside the six yard box.
