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

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.
