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

FOWLER HEADS ALBION TO VICTORY

Notts Senior League
Division One
NETHERFIELD ALBION 2 MAGDALA AMATEURS 1

Well Netherfield Albion FC groundshare at the Inspire Stadium, the next time I visit here will be with 300 hoppers for my final match as a groundhop organiser, when tenants Real United FC play host to Unity FC on Saturday 30th April with a 6.15pm kick off. Advanced tickets for the groundhop are still on sale, please book your tickets now on hornby60uk@yahoo.co.uk 

Both of todays sides have been in reasonable form of late, Netherfield made a poor start to the season and were near to the bottom of Division One but after a few good results have climbed just below halfway in the table, whilst visitors Magdala have been towards the top and coming in to the game on a high after winning away at Clifton All Whites Reserves 3-0 in midweek.

The game began as a midfield battle with neither side getting the final ball through, but it was the visitors who looked the more dangerous, but on 7 minutes, a long ball was played out of the home defence on to the left wing where BRETT HORTON cut in and beat his defender and curled hos shot in to the bottom corner of the net to give Albion the lead.

This spur the visitors in to action and it looked only a matter of time before they would level the game, but Steve Jones on the home net was having a inspired afternoon, keeping out everything that was thrown at him with some very fine saves, infact Magdala could well have gone in at half time 3-1 up.

The Second Half saw Magdala again pushing forward and on 53 minutes, they gained a corner on the right side, which was half cleared to the left edge of the penalty area where NEIL MORGAN bent his shot in to the net. This I thought would be the turning point of the game, but how wrong was I to be, as Netherfield showed their grit and on 57 minutes, were back in front, when a corner from the right side was clipped on across the box and RYAN FOWLER headed home.

Magdala again pushed forward whilst the homesters played on the counter attack, Davey Muirhead was at the heart of Albion's defence and was equal to anything that Magdala could muster towards him. After 87 minutes, the visitors felt they should have been awarded a penalty Fionn Coffey was adjudged to have been tripped, but the referee waved play in and the visitors chance of getting a point from the game was gone.
