DIVISION ONE

Wednesday, 30 April 2008

In Division One, the race to secure runners up is now between NSL newcomers Underwood Villa and Matrixgrade. Villa secured three points from a 2 – 0 win at Clifton Res with 44 year veteran Nigel Beer notching his 19th goal of the season. Ricky Hodgman got Villa’s other goal. Matrixgrade became only the third side this season to take points from runaway leaders Hucknall Rolls Leisure in a 1 – 1 draw. Rolls goal machine Ricky Hodgson made it 29 goals with Matrixgrade’s leveller coming from an own goal. Rolls now need to avoid defeat in their final league game to go through the season without losing

Wollaton Res are in fine form ahead of their league cup final date with Basford Res. Tony Alvey’s charges have won nine times in ten outings and show no sign of letting up with a fine 4 – 0 win at fellow high flyers Gedling Southbank Res their latest positive result. Williams (2), Marcowski and Hind got Wollaton’s goals

Bilborough Pelican Res are also on a good run and saw off Kimberley MW Res 3 -1 thanks to Berhame and two from Ricky Sheavills. Basford Res have struggled since making the final and lost for the sixth successive game as improving Linby Res came from 2 – 0 down to win 3 – 2

Sol Hissirou got both goals in a much needed win 2 – 1 win for Boots Res over Magdala Res and Awsworth Res moved out of the bottom two as Towle and McCarthy scored to give them a 2 – 0 win over bottom side Sandhurst Res
