Notts Senior League
Senior Division
SANDHURST FC 3 BURTON JOYCE FC 7
With the upcoming Notts Senior League Groundhop, I had to get the Hop trophy back from Burton Joyce and looking at the fixtures, I saw they were playing away at one of my local clubs Sandhurst FC, so a trip there was on the cards. Details for this seasons Groundhop can be seen HERE
On arrival I was greeted by both clubs and as Id not been too well recently, I had to take some medicine at the bar, a nice rum and brandy mix, well it helped me chest, thats my excuse.
The game kicked off and in the first attack, it was Sandhurst who opened the scoring after only 42 seconds when RYAN CHAPMAN slotted home from close range. This seemed to spur the visitors forward and they were soon level on 4 minutes through RYAN CLEMENTS.
Sandhurst seemed to be out of shapes now and Burton Joyce were winning the second ball and had soon turned the game round when going in front after 13 minutes through SAM BUCKLE. The visitors were all on attack now and the home keeper did well to keep his side in the game, but could do nothing in the 19th minute when the visitors stretched their lead through TOM LAWSON. As we were heading to the half time break, Sandhurst were back in the game when a cross found the head of LEE SHAW. Right on the stroke of half time, a breakaway saw Sandhurst with a golden chance of going in level but the visiting keeper kept it out.
The start of the Second Half saw the game go from end to end and it seemed a matter of who ever scored the next goal it would be vital to the outcome of the game.
On 55 minutes, SAM BUCKLE rose first to a cross and made it 4-2 to Burton Joyce, on 63 minutes it looked like game over when RYAN EASOM headed home to make it 5-2 but Sandhurst were out of it and within a minute, LEE SHAW reduced the arrears.
Sandhurst then pushed forward but didnt trouble the visiting keeper and Burton Joyce began to play on the break, after a clearence on 81 minutes, came the goal of the game, when TOM LAWSON picked up the ball on the half way line and drove forward with 6 home players in front of him, he took the ball to 30 yards out before lashing a low shot in to the corner of the net, within a minute and the game was out of sight when a cross from left right side was turned in by a Sandhurst defender in to his own net.
Must say I felt that all 3 Officials had a excellent game.
The 10 goals seen today takes the Charity Blogs running total to £559.00
