<span style="font-family: "arial";">Our final game of the season - the short journey to the Eagle Valley home of Arnold Town FC, to see Caribbean Cavaliers take on Hucknall Rolls Leisure in the NSL Senior Cup Final.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br />Turned out to be a very good evening, even though it was extended due to the teams needing extra time and penalties to seperate them, and I was feeling a bit rough....</span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">For me and Kev this was more of a social occasion, and we spent a lot of the game in the company of friends we have made over the last few years. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">I also finally took possession of Roger Rann's two books " Kings Of The Recs" and "When Mary's Were Kings"......books charting the history of football in Arnold - looking forward to reading these over the next few football free weeks!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Most of the Rolls players were just back from a short break in Benidorm, and for a while it showed! They looked a little sluggish and offered little up front. Rolls were lucky that Referee Colin White waved away what looked like a certain penalty for Cavs on 34, but when Mr. White awarded Cavs a free-kick five minutes later, Tom Simpson smashed the ball goalwards. With Rolls keeper Neil Waters seemingly well positioned to save, the ball deflected off the head of defender Richard Harrison, hit the inside of the post and nestled in the back of the net! H-T 1-0</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Rolls had struggled with just Andy Start up top, but the introduction of 19 year-old Harry Allen as his strike partner changed the game dramatically. The youngster levelled the scores on 80 after the ball fell kindly to him six yards out. F-T 1-1</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Cavs sub Ryan Perkins lit up the game in the 98th minute, rounding Waters before taking his time to line up a shot that dissected the two defenders who were covering the line. With full time looming it was that man Allen again who once again levelled the scores, latching on to a long punt forward before chipping Cav keeper Dave Martt from the edge of the box. F-T 2-2</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Although Harrison missed Rolls' first spot kick, they went 3-2 up and just needed skipper Jonathan Wass to convert to give them the trophy. He missed and Perkins stepped up to make it 3-3. Jonathan Dakers then missed for Rolls, but Cavs Robert Bolton smashed home his kick to give them the victory. </span></div>

Much better game than the Tuesday night effort ... and a decent turn-out - we reckon over 150 present. </span></div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Met up with Richard "Wanderer" Lane - he'd been at Trent Bridge all day and just made Calverton for the kick off. Also in the company of evergreen Brian Dennett... mind you he didn't stay with us long - I think he went and had a talk to every single person in the ground !!! </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">The first three goals were all down to poor goal-keeping ...the first in the 8th minute saw Newark's keeper parry a shot he ought to have held - presenting the Carlton no.7 with a simple tap in from close range. Newark levelled on 27 when Carlton keeper Ross Cherry missed his kick giving the Flowserve 11 jacket an open goal to run the ball in to. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">I really don't know whether the Carlton second goal should be put down to a goal-keeping error - but when Carlton's Matt Wilkinson flighted the ball goalwards from 40 yards out on 31, the Newark keeper was way off his line, and even though he back-tracked he failed to stop the ball entering the net. Goal-keeping error? May be a bit harsh H-T 2-1</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The second half was full of flowing football, but chances were at a bit of a premium. Two great saves by the Newark keeper in the 72nd minute kept his team in the game, but when Carlton's no.9 played in his strike partner on 79, there was little the keeper could do other than watch as the ball was stroked into the net. Carlton were awarded a penalty right on full time that their 11 shirt fired home. F-T 4-1 </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">This was the second time we have seen Carlton win a trophy after their epic game with <a href="http://ontheroad2009-2010.blogspot.com/2010/04/carlton-tn-academy-5-4-coronation-fc.html">Coronation in April </a></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Admission £2</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">H/C 150</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Thursday -- More NSL -- Senior Cup Final at Arnold Town kick off 7:30pm</span></div></div>Malchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07907103675580536385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345573450499356675.post-78525142403693677672010-05-18T20:52:00.012+01:002020-05-18T09:21:05.402+01:00Kimberley MW 3-0 Caribbean Cavaliers<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong>Tuesday 18th May 2010 -- NSL Senior Division</strong></span><br />

I can only assume that the majority of the teams in these leagues have no floodlights, and the volume of games lost due to the crap winter can't be played mid-week, leaving the leagues no alternative other than to extend their seasons.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Hope to call it a day with "On The Road 2009-2010" towards the end of May .... already set up </span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://ontheroad2010-2011.blogspot.com/">"On The Road 2010-2011"</a> and we will be back in July as we take in some of the local pre-season games.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Hope to write a "best of / worst of" within the next couple of weeks, but after that, a few weeks off will be most welcome!</span></div>Malchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07907103675580536385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4345573450499356675.post-3140823382935759532010-05-13T22:29:00.011+01:002010-05-13T23:47:50.695+01:00Nottm Forest Ladies 5-0 Hucknall Rolls Ladies<span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Thursday 13th May 2010 -- Notts F.A.

Much appreciated. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Grabbed a word or two with Forest Town's Pete Craggs who appeared to be enjoying his burger and chips, followed by a pint of Magners....</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Also had a chat with Clifton a player I managed at youth level, Mike Banister.

SUZANNE DAVIES had seconds earlier hit a tame effort at Wilson, but the striker made no mistake when presented with the ball 12 yards from goal, fairly lashing the ball home.

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Conference North v UniBond Premier.</span> <span style="font-family: "arial";">Turned out to be quite a poor game, but there were a couple of cracking goals. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">Kev behind the wheel for this one - he is the numero uno for City Centre driving. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Arrived at Meadow Lane with time to spare and bought a programme expecting something akin to Andy Cope's superb effort last season. Felt thoroughly ripped off when I was handed the thing. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Had a quick chat to Aggedor on the way to our seats, and then the public address system came on.... and stayed on throughout the game --- a constant hisssssssssss that was enough to drive you crackers! On a scale of 1 -10 for annoying this was a definate12!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Eastwood : Danby, Markel Bailey , Riley, D'Laryea, Mat Bailey, Cooke, Meikle, Foster, Holmes, Holland, Duncum. Subs: S Brown, D. Brown, Whitehurst, Gardner.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Retford: Lindley, Ludlum, Thompson, Smith, Ellis, Simkpins, Bettney, Ellender, Thomas, Harvey, Marrison. Subs: Mayman, Leggitt, Stephenson.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The teams were presented to the Notts FA's elite, and we settled back for the anticipated football feast. Soon got bored - the first decent chance not created until the 10th minute when Marquin Smith volleyed just wide. From the goal-kick the ball was collected by Duncum who dribbled his way into the box before firing wide of the goal.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Meikle looked to be Struggling for Town, but his mazy run and cross on 12 gave DANNY HOLLAND a chance from close range and he duly slotted past Lindley. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">Meikle was eventually replaced on 27 by Simon Brown, and he told me at the break it was a hamstring injury that ended his participation. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Mat Bailey had a header well saved by Lindley in the 32nd minute, but it was United who scored the games next goal. COLIN MARRISON looping a header from a free-kick over Danby after he was left unmarked some 12 yards from goal. H-T 1-1</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Grabbed a word or two with Notts F.A. Secretary Mick Kilbee during the interval. He related how he allocated Tuesday 11th May as the date for the Notts F.A. Junior Cup final and that as a mad keen Forest fan he was shattered when he realised the play-off second leg between Forest and Blackpool is to be played on the same date! Having only missed half-a-dozen Forest home games in 45 years, you have to feel for Mick, but duty calls and he has to be at the Cup final!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The second half was poor and for the first 20 minutes we were watching the cricket on the TV situated in the "posh" area. Our attention was drawn back to the game when Anton Foster made a darting run at the United defence. After racing across the goal area he played the ball to Mat Bailey who steered it towards the goal where David Brown flicked on for DANNY HOLLAND to tap in.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Not much else to add to the regulation time, but when Referee Stuart Richardson allocated three minutes of added time, we had a feeling we were going to be out late - and would you believe it in the 93rd minute DARYL THOMAS crashed home a terrific shot that sent us into extra-time. F-T 2-2</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It was so cold that we debated about whether to stay on or not, but as it happened we are pleased we did. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Retford were awarded a free-kick 20 odd yards from goal, and Chris Bettney fired in a great effort than Town keeper did well to tip over for a corner. From the corner though, MARQUIN SMITH rose like a salmon to power home a superb header and give Retford the lead for the first time in the game. 6 minutes later Retford committed defensive suicide - keeper and defenders not on the same wavelength allowing DAVID BROWN to nip in and roll home the equaliser. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">We were still hoping upon hope that one team would break the deadlock before we went to penalties, when with just 90 seconds to play MAT BAILEY curled a fantastic shot into the far corner from the edge of the box. Wonderful goal - although Eastwood barely deserved their victory, that goal was well worth the entry fee. F-T 4-3</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Didn't stay for the presentations, it was too bloody cold - so a quick hot foot to the car and heater on full!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Not been to Linby since the pre-season " Battle Of Church Lane". This was not our original game of choice, but watching the Florists on the telly meant we had to find a very, very local game to make a 3pm kick off. I say "we" - Kev was busy with car repairs so couldn't make the game. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Linby have just parted company with their management team and for this game they fielded an under strength team - Linby secured their position in the Senior Division last week, and are now looking to get a new face at the helm. I spent the second half in the company of one of the hopefuls - he was only at the game because he had just been interviewed for the job. Can't name him - he is with another team at the moment and they still have games to play. </span></div>

<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Got to the ground at 2:50pm and it was throwing it down. Just before kick off the rain stopped and the sun came out - and it was quite warm for a while! Brought out about a million gnats, but not for long though because the sun was quickly covered by rolling black clouds and the rain soon returned. Not much cover at Linby took so the trusty brolly pitchside, and it was needed!</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Linby keeper Craig Lear made a couple of early saves, but his best were after 20 minutes had been played - two cracking point blank saves from David Udoh. Linby's first chance fell to right back Richard Pell on 25, but he blazed his effort into the side netting. From the goal-kick, the ball found TONY BOULTON just inside the box - he made no mistake slotting past Lear with ease. H-T 0-1</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Went to the car at the break to get out of the biting wind - had a little time to ponder what Forest Town have let themselves in for next season. No gate, basic facilities, very ordinary officiating, poor standard of football -- and the game had to be stopped two minutes into the second half so some dog crap could be removed from the pitch. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">The CMFL might have it's knockers, but Linby used to play in the CMFL, and dropping into the NSL seems to have done nothing at all to improve the club....</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Lear made another couple of good stops early in the second half - more point blank stuff, but on the hour mark he could do nothing as a fierce 16 yards DANNY BLANCHARD bullet flew past him into the net. 10 minutes later DANNY CHAPLIN prodded home from close range and as the rain got heavier near the end, IAN FOSS added the visitors fourth - tapping in from about a foot after the defenders had all stopped, expecting an offside flag that never materialised!!

First time ever! It has to be said though, that we have seen a few poor games this week, but this was a good 'un...</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Belper Town Reserves were crowned League Champions after last weeks demolition of Forest Town Ressies, while Blidworth have ended the season bottom of the league. The difference in class was not noticable in the first half, but one class header from MICKY HARCOURT put the Nailers ahead on 39. Prior to the goal, Blid were unlucky when a snap shot crashed off the Belper crossbar, and Tom Pressman was alert enough to block the shot that came in from the rebound.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">H-T 0-1</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Classic moment 1) As the Blid team exited the ground for a half time cuppa, one of the subs was asked " which foot are you? " the reply from the player "any" the response "ok you're left back"... brill !</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Blidworth kept their illustrious opponents at bay for the first 20 minutes of ther second period. Then they subbed a defender for the linesman ( club linesmen at this level), and Belper promptly added their second through TOM COOPER-RICHARDS, a neat side-foot that went under keeper Jason Fisher to nestle in the back of the net. Seconds later SAM JOHNSON ran through the Blid defence and hammered the ball past Fisher to make it 3-0. This goal showed the value of linesmen checking the net before kick-off. Obviously club linesmen don't perform this task, and only those with keen eyesight noticed the ball had entered the net before exiting through the side of the net....</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">SAM JOHNSON had a simple tap in on 75, and then with four to play former Eastwood player Rob Palin, who looked good through out the game, found the Belper no.14 with a pinpoint cross from the right and the sub calmly fired home. JOHNSON netted again in the last minute to complete his hat-trick. F-T 0-6</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Classic moment 2) The linesman who was subbed calling to his team-mates " it was only 0-1 when I came off!" Magic! </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">You have to tip your hat to these players... where should they be on a Friday night?

Apart from the Louth v Newark cup final on Monday the games have been poor. This was no exception - a dour game that never really took off. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Harworth scored a goal in each half - and had a penalty saved, but in all honesty they could have had 6 or 7 - only a combination of poor finishing and decent keeping kept the score respectable for Kimberley.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">The first goal came on 35 - GARY SIDES flicking the ball over Lycett from 12 yards after the ball was played into the box. Ryan Paczkowski saw his weak penalty saved by Lycett in the 53rd minute - the striker had been brought down by the keeper who was lucky to only receive a yellow for the offence. DAVE REEVE netted again on 90, and thankfully the Referee added only a couple of minutes on - a quick race to the car to try and get warm -- it was another bitterly cold night and the football offered did nothing to warm us up.

I had one look, then turned around for a second look, then had to drive back around the big roundabout before making my mind up to park on the grass verge some 50 yards up the road from the actual Stadium. I'll never live it down -- Kev ALWAYS poxes a place....always!</span></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">The game was nothing to write home about - Normo went ahead in the 24th minute when their no. 10 dribbled delightfully into the box before firing past the Calvo keeper. Calvo had a shot from their no. 7 crash off the bar on 26, then the same player volleyed just wide a few minutes later. H-T 0-1</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">South Normanton had the ball in the net again 3 minutes into the second half, this time the no. 7 slotting home at the far post after latching onto a superb ball in from the left. With just 5 to play, Calverton reduced the arrears when their 9 shirt fired past the keeper after a great run down the right from George Lutaaya. Normo were pegged back in their half for the remaining 6 minutes, but despite a few jittery moments they managed to hang on to their lead to become CML President's cup winners 2009-10.

I use the word "supporter" loosely - and I am sure Basford will want to distance themselves from one certain person. He was so unhappy at an offside decision that wiped out a goal that would have brought Basford back into the game at 2-1, that he climbed over the perimeter fencing and went eye-ball to eye-ball with the Assistant Referee who was perfectly positioned to make the ruling. We were behind the goal and the Basford no. 10 was clearly offside when he prodded the ball home. Just the keeper between him and the goal. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Not a moment for Basford or the NSL to be proud of and surely there will be repercussions. The Referee had a poor game, and never appeared to be in control. No team sheets and no idea who the Ref was, so I have no personal axe to grind. He will probably reflect on his performance and know he could have handled this game a lot better. </span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Basford started the game looking a decent attacking force with Richard Liburd looking good, but the Rolls back four were solid enough and were marshalled superbly by former Eastwood favourite Lee Soar. Despite all the pressure, </span><span style="font-family:Arial;">Rolls took the lead against the run of play on 18 when their no. 9 shirt Andy Start, nipped in to lift the ball past the United keeper after it was deflected into his path. H-T 0-1</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Basford almost levelled on 51, but their no. 9 was not so assured with his finishing, powering a header wide from only 6 yards out. Jonathan Wass fired home a cracking drive on 73 to make it 2-0 to Rolls and ease some nerves, but then came the controversy. The whole incident was somewhat unsavoury and culminated with the United no. 11 being given his marching orders. They were down to 10 men, but Basford did score with 5 to go ... a corner from the right headed onto the bar, and the no. 3 Tobias Richardson on hand to nod home the rebound. 4 minutes of added time were played before the Referee called time on this game.

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong>Monday 3rd May 2010 -- CML Cup Final</strong><br /><br />Exhausted from just watching this, but you have to feel for Louth Town. The Supreme Division champions and Floodlight Cup winners could have done without extra time as they have another cup final at Glandford Park on Tuesday. If only they could have held on -- but it was not to be as Newark levelled right on full time. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">This was a fabulous game played at Alfreton Town's Impact Arena, and although I took copious notes and over 80 pics, I don't think my ramblings can possibly do this game justice. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Louth line-up : Wherry, Trestrail, Appleby, Martin, Dalton, Reeson, Hyland, Armstrong, Watts, Hallam, Leverett. Subs Crossley, Smith, Wood</span></div>

<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">After the usual presentation and the customary National Anthem(!), the game kicked of in glorious sunshine, but it was a little deceptive because let me tell you, it was bloody cold.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Louth took the lead on 16 when CARL MARTIN dived to head home Leverett's free kick</span></div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ5YD3gaHzA/S98NRwuEPzI/AAAAAAAAC4U/qN0O7O75pv4/s1600/lt+v+nt+030.jpg"><span style="font-family: "arial";"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467103071438126898" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/_xQ5YD3gaHzA/S98NRwuEPzI/AAAAAAAAC4U/qN0O7O75pv4/s320/lt+v+nt+030.jpg" style="cursor: hand; height: 240px; width: 320px;" /></span></a><br />

<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">4 minutes later Leverett was again provider, sliding the ball into the 6 yard box where MIKE ARMSTRONG was wating to slot home. Newark came back strongly and in the 24th minute they were celebrating their first of the game - a cracking chip by CALLUM FRASER beating keeper Wherry.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 85%;">Frazer levels for Newark</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The scores were level on 37, Newark skipper SIMON GREENFIELD powering home a header from a free-kick. Louth had a great chance to go in leading at the break, but Watts effort crashed off the bar and Leverett hit the loose ball at goal, it was hacked off the line. H-T 2-2</span></div>

<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Newark took the early initiative in the second half, and it looked like Ellison had scored on 47, but his shot had only rippled the side netting. Louth were back in front on 69 - and although KURT CROSSLEY fired home well from 18 yards, he appeared to have handled the ball when it was played to him from midfield.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Just as we were getting set to go home, Newark were awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box. The ball was fired into the 6 yard box where LUKE PARSONS rose to head home. F-T 3-3</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">The game went into extra time, and Wilford almost gave Newark a dream start, but his terrific drive crashed off the upright with Wherry well beaten. Louth went ahead yet again a minute into the second period of extra-time, PAUL WATTS diving full-length to head home. Newark could have lost the will to live, but they didn't and they were awared a penalty in the114th minute that STEVE CARTY calmly fired past Wherry.

Sondhi had a try from 18 yards soon after, but the effort was tame and didn't overly trouble Whittingham in the home goal. Elliott volleyed over from Castledine's cross on 51 as Forest Town gradually took control of the game.</span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Hollingsworth's free-kick after 55 was met well in the area by Nat Watson, but again the effort was off target.

The teams had scored 194 goal collectively this season ( 111 to Coronation and 83 to Carlton), so this never looked like being a 0-0 draw! </span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Arrived at the ground in the middle of a tropical downpour, and the first person I spoke to was good friend and ex-Hucknall Town boss Danny Bryant. He was at Watnall Road to hand over his mobile phone and keys to the Town Chairman Dave Gamble. The next person I met up with was Kev... he had been enjoying a late dinner, so arrived a few seconds after the kick off. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Carlton went ahead in the 7th minute - no. 11 TOM HUBBARD beating Coro keeper Luke Maloney to the ball and firing home. 90 seconds later ROSS MARRIOTT added the Millers' second, cutting in from the right before lashing the ball across Maloney and into the net. This was real end to end stuff - Carlton hanging on to their lead and Coronation pressing hard to get back into the game.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The young Carlton lads held out until the 30th minute when Alex Wright tried a speculative drive from 15 yards that was going well wide until JOE PARKER stuck a leg out and diverted the ball past Hadlee Dunn in the Town goal. 10 minutes later it was all square - this time Parker the provider, keeping the ball live at the far post before palying a neat reverse pass to JAMES WHITMORE who calmly drilled home from 12 yards. H-T 2-2 Breathless first half - action packed and leaving us wanting more. Had a chat with Fredkirkbytown - will meet him again on Saturday as we visit the Summit Centre to see Kirby Town entertain Forest Town.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Coronation started the second half as they finished the first, pressing forward straight from the restart. They had to thank their opposition though for handing them the lead on 56. A ball through the middle was chased down by Whitmore - and when Carlton centre-half Josh Stones went to pass the ball back to Dunn, he found his keeper was only a couple of yards away from him!! Dunn had charged out of his area to clear and the defenders pass flew past him leaving Whitmore with an open goal - he duly hit the post - but fortunately JOE PARKER had followed his run and had a simple tap in. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">ROSS MARRIOTT produced a spectacular 20 yard volley on 74 that looped over Maloney to level the scores, but they weren't level for too long. Alex Wright "won" a penalty on 77 that JOE PARKER put away superbly to complete his hat-trick. </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;">Agian, Coronation failed to hold on - and Carlton sub JOSE ALFONSO hit another belting volley past Maloney to make it 4-4. With a couple of minutes to play, Carlton went for the winner, and after a sustained period of pressure it was fitting that their skipper JOSH HENRY grabbed what proved to be the decider - crashing the ball through a crowded area after the Coro defence failed to clear a corner.

<span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong>Tuesday 27th April -- Notts F.A. Intermediate Challenge Cup Final</strong> </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Having seen nothing of either of these teams prior to this game we were unsure what to expect. Gedling were favourites apparently and to be fair they had enough chances to win this game over and over again. Only some last ditch defending and hacks off the line kept Town in the game. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Not a bad game on the whole, but it was more a gathering of the great and the good - or not so good in some cases!! Cast list : <b>Brian Reece</b>, Vice Chairman of Rainworth MW FC - I mentioned that the pen he gave me the other season was out of ink, and "hey presto" a brand new one is now in my proud posession! <b>Rob "the66pow" Waite</b> was on hand to support Retford. <b>Adam " the Mind Of An Imp" Barlow</b> also present - first time we have seen Adam this season, I think? </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>Gordon Foster </b>is Rainworth's announcer, reporter, programme editor - and it's always a pleasure to see Gordon at work. <b>Mark Connor,</b> formerly manager of Greenwood Meadows and before that Gedling Southbank. <b>Mike Kilby</b> and <b>John Waterall</b> ( Notts F.A.) both had a few words before the game.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><b>Peter Craggs</b>, press officer at Forest Town - on hand to watch son Pete run a line. Stayed with Pete for most of the game - always worth listening to what he has to say - talks a lot of sense. Rob Townsend was 4th official, but never got a chance to speak to him. </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">So a cast of many and the players gave a good performance - the only goal slid in at the far post by DANIEL LAW on 31 minutes. More a social evening than a serious blog night - more of the same please on Thursday at Hucknall Town's Watnall Road ground - Carlton Tn Academy take on Coronation in the Notts F.A. Minor Cup</span> <span style="font-family: "arial";">final.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">One sad note - two GSB players were badly injured during the game : from NSL forum <strong>" GSB suffered a cup final defeat this evening losing out 0-1 to Retford Town. In a game that GSB dominated, but just couldn't put their chances away. More importantly GSB suffered more injury woes, after Terry Guerbaouy dislocated his ankle and Nicky Labbate badly broke his right arm. Our</strong> <strong>thoughts and best wishes go out to both lads "</strong> As do ours.</span></div>

Previous Hucknall boss Bryan Chambers left the club because he was threatened with legal action for revealing details of the club's financial turmoil to the press.

<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Just about sums up the season....started off ok then screwed it up big-time. </span><span style="font-family: "arial";">A poor first half between two teams with nothing to do but play another 90 minutes before jetting off to Marbella, or wherever the fashionable holday destination is now.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">Kiddy looked a decent passing team first half - until they got to the 18 yard box, then they ran out of ideas. Stags were quite content to absorb the pressure and play on the counter. JAKE SPEIGHT grabbed his first of three on 17, latching onto a pass from Gary Mills before firing high across Dean Coleman in the Harriers net. SPEIGHT'S second followed 7 minutes later - this time all his own work - the striker running into the box and slotting home. Seconds before the break, Duffy's flick was helped goalwards by SPEIGHT and although Coleman appeared to have stopped the shot, he somehow let the ball squirm from his grasp and into the net. H-T 3-0 </span></div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The Stags conceded on 50, a BYRNE heading home after being left unmarked in the area. 3 minutes later KNIGHTS hit a great drive that Marriott never saw. On 73, MCPHEE unleashed a volley from 25 yards that flew into the top corner. F-T 3-3 </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">What made this even worse? All six goals were scored in the North Stand goal.....well over 100 yards from where we sit. These old, myopic eyes ( even with me specs on) can barely see that far..!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial";">Anyway, thank goodness that the season ticket ordeal is now over - seemed a really good idea at the time, and I love going to Field Mill, but pre-season what was a time of real optimism quickly turned into Mr. Holdsworth bringing in all sorts of no-hopers and other clubs' rejects.. and ending up playing over 30 different players over the season. </span></div>

Five minutes later Hewitt created the second goal for Vine, turning his marker before finding top scorer Daniel House in the box - the Vine hitman made no mistake from 10 yards. H-T 0-2</span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The second half was played at a little slower pace than the first - the Plumtree lads looked knackered and hardly troubled the Vine defence. It was the Gainsborough side that showed more going forward and House grabbed their third after 78 minutes. This was quickly followed by Hewitt's second, a simple near post header. Plumtree managed to plunder a goal from close range right at the death, but it finished 4-1 to Vine.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Special mention for Referee Mr. Harry Hawkins ... did really well handling this game.
