NAA EDGE NSL IN CHARITY FINAL |
| The
Inter League Charity cup was tonight contested by one of last years
finalists the NSL and the NAA. The NSL were expected to win, however
the result was not the walkover many predicted. To start the evening, NSL official Malc Cassidy had to put his stir fry on hold at home in order to get some emergency black socks to the fourth official who had for some reason neglected to bring his own! The NSL boys came out the stronger in the first half and for a good 15 minutes totally to charge of the game, coming close with a free kick as the 15th minute moved past. Then Keyworth player Alex Woolwich put the ball in the net only for it to be ruled offside. Not long after another shot whipped past the crossbar and ended up in number 43's back garden. The half swung from end to end and the NAA substituted Kev McArdle for Ashley Burrell. Then they hit Bark's crossbar only to see the ball scrambled away.. Half time came 0-0. Out for the second half and within minutes Sandhursts Cliff Clarke came close, but again only firing over the bar. After countering the NSL side on the break, the NAA's no 5 David Warden caught onto a cross from the right wing and planted it firmly past second half keeper Matt Worster.. The NSL boys spent the next 30 minutes trying to get the equaliser in vein. With the NAA looking to counter on the break the game swung from end to end. Gedlings Ash Witt came on for the last 10 to add some extra fire power and came close on two occasions. One shot fired over the bar and another hit the bar above keeper Matt Singletons head, only to be cleared. Full time and the NAA were the victors. With the sun blazing, in sharp contrast to the FA Intermediate cups washout from last week, it made for a great evening. Another comedy moment brought the evening to a close when the NSL's Darrell Parkes forgot to honour the officials first and then proceeded to give out the winners trophy's to the NSL lads, who thought this was great. Its a good job mascot Louis was on hand to point out the error!! teams NAA MATT SINGLETON, STEVE WILKINSON, BRETT CHARLES, IAN DEWAR, DAVID WARDEN, JAMES HALLAM, ROCKY HASTINGS, DANNY GEE, GARETH CLARKSON, GARY CARTER (C), ASHLEY BURRELL AND SUBS: SIMON ALLCOCK, NICK LYLACK, KEV McARDLE AND JAY WHITE.

WEEKEND REVIEW |
| Far from being relegation candidates , Awsworth Villa completed their season by winning their fifth game in seven outings- this time against neighbours & rivals Linby C.W. Keiron Saxton (2) & Luke Henson gave them a 3-2 win. The remarkably consistent Andy Start & Matt Balm replied. At the bottom end of the table, Magdala Ams squeezed in by a single Dan Ellis goal against Ruddington, although they were already safe from relegation. Underwood Villa missed the chance of closing the gap on second placed Matrixgrade by only drawing against Keyworth Utd Res. Steven Froggatt’s goal was cancelled out by Matt Webster’s. Villa could still catch their rivals for the runners up spot, but would need 7 points from their remaining 3 games. Jake Fisher claimed the only hat trick of the day in Kimberley M. W’s 4-2 win against Awsworth Villa Res. Mark Stocks added a fourth. Kieran McMarty claimed both the Awsworth Villa Res goals. Cotgrave Welfare Res are finishing with a flourish. After scoring 4 in mid week , they added 7 more against Magdala Ams Res. Danny Murphy (2), Alan Rees(2) , Matt Hallam , Dave Sackeld & Stuart Marshall were all on the mark with Simon Moore & Paul Brown replying for Magdala. Basford Res stopped the rot in a 1-1 draw with Bilborough Pelican Res, although it required a goal from first teamer James Hendry. The equaliser came from Nicky Labatte. Ibby Arsali helped Boots Res to a much needed win with two goals. Lee Chapman & the highly promising Greg Watnall completed the scoring. Sandhurst Res’ only response came from Crawford. Clifton Res completed their season with a 4-2 defeat by Gedling Southbank Res who had Mark White(2) , Mark Buckman & Fountain on the score sheet. |

HUCKNALL ROLL OVER POLICE IN FINAL |
| Runaway
First Division Champions Hucknall Rolls Leisure edged out Senior
Division outfit Notts Police in the all NSL Intermediate Section
County Cup final at Hucknall Town FC. In a rain soaked game at
Watnall Road, Rolls took a third minute lead through John Greeley
and furthered their advantage through form striker Ashley Marshall
giving them a two goal half time lead.
Dave Raynors half time team talk must have worked as Police came out of the blocks well. First reducing the deficit through Collopy, then equalizing through substitute Walker. As the rain came down and legs ever tiring the game went to extra time before the dreaded penalty shoot out. Police missing two early spot kicks with Rolls converting all of theirs for a historical win. The club have not yet been founded a year and have two trophies already in their cabinet. Manager Jez Corthorn rightly proud of his impressive team in its debut campaign. |
