Monday 5th April 2010 -- UniBond Premier Division
Nice to see a queue at Watnall Road
Hucknall went into this game without a win in nine previous outings, while Boston are chasing for promotion to the Conference North. The Yellows are struggling financially at the moment, and have recently had to let high profile players go and the replacements brought in from lower divisions (CML / EMCL) are going to take a while to gel.
Teams:
Hucknall Town : Haystead, Walters, Smith, Garner, Peel, Hawes, Wiggins-Thomas, O'Brien, Hatfield, Hopkinson, Meikle. Subs : Hawkridge, Boafo, Smedley, Williams
Boston UTd : Evans, Cullingworth, Bird, Church, Pearson, Wood, Semple, Davies, Davidson, Weir-Daley, Newsham. Subs: Camm, Sneath, Yates, Suarez, Butcher.
Customary handshakes
To begin with, the home team looked like they could handle the attacking force of Newsham, Davidson and Weir-Daley, but their early efforts were undone on 13 when Weir-Daley was allowed to cross from the left. The ball reached the edge of the box and was fired low towards the goal. Haystead did well to parry the effort, but MARC NEWSHAM was on hand to slot home the loose ball.
Town forced a series of corners as they fought to shake of the effects of going a goal down, but the United defence was solid and protected keeper Evans very effectively. On 23, Weir-Daley had a golden chance to increase the visitors lead. He was left in acres of space as Hucknall pressed forward, and when the ball was played to him out of defence, he controlled well enough but keeper Haystead approached at speed, and the striker tried a lob that flew way off target. H-T 0-1
The second half was only three minutes old when the Pilgrims netted their second. Again MARC NEWSHAM was the scorer, finding room again at the far post after Semple had driven a ball across goal from the right wing.
Hucknall thought they had reduced the arrears on the hour when Tim Hopkinson glanced home a Walters cross. Unfortunately the Forest loanee had strayed offside and the effort was disallowed.
Davidson was proving a handful to Town full back Luke Smith, and when he went on a mazy run down the right, Smith was left standing - luckily the big strikers shot flew just wide of the post.

Newsham had a great chance to grab his third in the 65th minute after Walters decided to try and dribble out of defence. The young defender was dispossessed by Newsham and went one-on-one with Haystead only to fire way over the bar.
Newsham 1 on 1 with Haystead.

One minute later though, DANNY DAVIDSON shrugged off a challenge from Brett Peel, turned and fired home from 6 yards out to put the game out of reach of the home team.

Credit to Hucknall though, their heads didn't drop and they scored on 79, courtesy of a fine header from ADRIAN HAWES from a corner.
Adrian Hawes heads home the Yellows consolation
With four to go, SPENCER WEIR-DALEY stroked home from close range. F-T 1-4

Strange as this may seem, Kev had predicted 4-1 to Boston before kick-off, and I'd said the crowd was 500. (It was actually 501). Rushed (!) out of the ground at full time to try and exit the packed car-park without having to queue, and full marks to Kev - we were third out and back home by 5pm!
Admission £8
Attendance 501 ( much needed revenue for the home team)
Programme - poor 28 page effort for £2.00
Friday night out this week - Blidworth W v Pinxton. Blidworth have conceded 15 goals in their last two home games, so this can't end up 0-0, can it?
