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

RECORD SCORE FOR ME

Pre Season Friendly
WELBECK FC 0 REAL UNITED 21
 
Ok folks I thought I may see a few goals here, but 21-0 I never thought was possible, lets start with Welbeck FC, a new manager of a club that hasn't had much success over the years but a club I respect, esp their Chairman Graham hall who could have easily walked away from his club but has hung on there fighting and hoping that one day the club may just do well.
 
The friendly was a one sided and after 43 minutes the home keeper handled the ball outside the area to which referee coud well have sent the keeper off whilst his side was losing 8-0 but to Real's credit they asked for the keeper to remain on the pitch as it was only a friendly game, the ref agreed but from the resulting free kick the keeper banged his head as the ball enter the goal and he had to be replaced.
 
The Second Half, Real put 8 second team players on, but they looked good against a struggling Welbeck side as a couple of them walked off, but credit to them they wanted to carry on playing, sadly everytime Real broke forward it looked a matter of how many goals they would score. The Welbeck Manager at several times asked the referee to finish the game, but the Welbeck players on the pitch wanted to continue so the referee played the action on.
 
The game was played to the full 90 minutes and ended in my record score of 0-21, I don't like one sided games like this but it raised £5.25 towards my blogs charity, I would like to thank Real United FC Manager  Gaz Hayward for a kind donation of £5 taking the running total to £336.00
 
Real Goalscorers were: Large(6), Ryan(4), Spier(3), Juno(3), Hopp(2), Venables, Glodi, Ryan

SANDHURST LATE GOAL SHOW

Pre Season Friendly
BILSTHORPE RESERVES 0 SANDHURST FC 4
 
So far possibly the worse Pre season game Ive seen this season, no skill, hardly any football played, play kept breaking down, bad tackles and 2 players having to leave the field of play due to receiving cards, what did liven things up was the 3 late goals by Sandhurst.
 
The game kicked off at 7pm and already on a dark cloudy night, it look grim and I wondered if the game would last 90 minutes, but it did and the light held well. Bilsthorpe had the first chance of the game, when hitting the crossbar after 20 minutes, but it was the visitors who controlled much of the game. After 31 minutes, CHAPMAN shot from the edge of the box and the flapping keeper seemed to lay on the floor and push the ball over his head. The keeper had played well up to that point.
 
The match was very dull and I found myself chatting away to local Football league referee Ian Dudley and Kirton Brickworks Secretary Jamie Birch.
 
The game continued and few bad tackles and strikes out saw the referee do well to keep the game in control. On 75 minutes, as I was about to nod off to sleep, Sandhurst had another attack and they doubled their lead after a good finish by new signing COX.
 
Sandhurst then upped their game and substitute NOBES hit through a crowded penalty boox to score his first goal in over two and half years much to his delight to increased his clubs advantage to 3-0 after 86 minutes.
 
Just before the end, Sandhurst were awarded a free kick just outside the area, to which SAVAGE stepped up and fired home.
 
A difficult game to really say where both sides will finish in the Notts Senior League this coming season and of course both clubs cant play as bad as they did in this game..surely?

KIMBERLEY MW RETAIN TROPHY

Horace Hibbert Memorial Shield
KIMBERLEY MW 3 EASTWOOD CFC 2
att: 71
 
This trophy has been played in honour of Horace Hibbert for quite a few years now between teams from Kimberley & Eastwood and has produced some very good matches and this was no different.
 
The day began with a game between the two clubs reserve teams and it provided a good match with the Miners running out 5-1 victors..You can see the photos HERE
 
A good programme was produced for the main match and featured my blog report from last week. On arrival I was met  by the Kimberley MW management Rawds and Brian Franks.
 
The main match began at a frantic pace with Eastwood going very close after just a minute infact the first 20 minute, the visitors had the best chances and could have been 3 in front. Kimberley in the 29th minute saw CHAPLIN fore them in front. Kimberley searched for a second whilst Eastwood looked a threat and on 42 minutes, a mistake on the half way line saw HALL sprint clear and hit home the equaliser. From kick off, Kimberley restored their lead when SMITH rifled home from a acute angle.
 
Kimberley kicked off the second half the better side and on 50 minutes, KING made it 3-1. Eastwood began to look a bit tired and Kimberley hit the bar from close distance.
 
On 63 minutes, from a corner of the left, ALLOPP headed home for the visitors and though the homesters came close and the visitors pushed for a equaliser there was no more goals in the game.
 
Must thank Kimberley MW for the kind donation of £5 for entry and programme to the game and also Ben Newman, the Pinxton FC Manager who kindly donated £2, so with the 11 goals scored today, the charity blog was boosted by £9.75 to take the running total for The Foxton Centre & Integritas to a amazing £324.75.

LOCAL DERBY ENDS EVEN

Pre Season Friendly
KIRTON BRICKWORKS 1 SANDHURST FC 1
att: 41
 
A lot of the readers will be familiar with this fixture, as only in April it was Sandhurst FC hosting Kirton Brickworks on the NSL Hop in front of a crowd of 346 people. This fixture was only set up on Saturday as Thoresby CW had to pull out of the friendly with Kirton.
 
A few new faces for both sides for this local derby and if anyone thought this would just be a kick about then at times there was the odd poorly timed tackle but the game was kept in good stead by local referee Grahame Mitchell.
 
The sides kicked off and it was the visitors who took the lead after just 4 minutes, when WILL COX flicked past the home keeper.
 
The game was played in hot sunshine and players grabbed drinks as and when they could in the heat, as the game continued from end to end.
 
After 52 minutes, Kirton were on level terms, when a cross from the left wing found the head of debutant STEFFAN FROST who guided his header past the Sandhurst keeper.
 
Both sides went for the win, but a draw was a fair result for both teams, it was a good run out.

RAINWORTH AT THE DOUBLE AT OLLERTON

Pre Season Friendly
OLLERTON TOWN 0 RAINWORTH MINERS WELFARE 2
Att: 106 headcount.

With my son being 11 this coming Tuesday, I had to look at a match quite close to home, as Shawn wanted to go to Willow Family Farm in Shirebrook, as he wanted to sponsor a animal and then go to McDonalds, so I saw that Ollerton were at home and not having seen Ollerton at home for about 4 seasons, this gave me a good opportunity to visit.
 
A kind greeting from Gibbo and other members of both committees and then it was nice to meet Mrs Mitchell who was running the tea bar, so a nice cuppa was in order before kick off, just before kick off Richard Lane appeared and we had a chat.
 
The game kicked off and both sides looked evenly matched with the visitors having the first chance of the game quite early on.
 
On 9 minutes, the ball made its way to the right wing where THOMAS PEREIRA cut inside and hot a cross shot that hit the top inside of the net before bouncing into the net. After 14 minutes, it was 0-2 when SAM DOCKWRAY found himself just outside the area where he lashed home to double his sides lead.
 
At this point, it looked as if Rainworth may set siege on the home keeper's net and on 25  inutes had a goal disallowed for offside. The half time whistle to be fair came at the right time for Ollerton and also me to go and grab a can of pop whilst chatting with the Sandhurst FC famous Six.
 
Ollerton came out for the Second Half with a spring in their step and applied a lot of pressure on the Rainworth defence who stood firm throughout the half with out cracking. The closest the homester came to reducing the arrears was in the 72nd minute when Sam Bailey smashed a ball goalbound that was cleared off the line.
 
There was a £2 admission to the game but Ollerton FC kindly donated the £2 to the blog's Charity, so with the 50p for thhe goals scored at todays game, it brings the running total to £314.50p

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.
