SENIOR DIVISION

Wednesday, 30 April 2008

The second relegation place from the Senior Division of the Precision Training NSL will be filled by Sandhurst as the North Notts’ outfits poor run of just one win in 24 league matches has cost them their top flight status

Mike Wain’s side needed to beat Notts Police at Forest Lane and hope that results elsewhere went their way if they were to have any chance of avoiding the trapdoor however it was not to be as two goals from Dean Fenton and one from Danny Holloway gave Police a comfortable 3 – 0 win and made it back to back wins ahead of Wednesday’s Notts Intermediate Cup Final against Hucknall Rolls Leisure

Magdala will breathe a sigh of relief as their recent form has been just good enough to see them stay up. Despite going down 5 – 3 at home to Bilborough Pelican, Dala have done just enough. Steve Williams (2) and Martin Kearns were the Magdala scorers but Pelican showed the goal power that has seen them finish third as a Roy Sharpe treble and singles from Chris Ison and Danny Gunn saw The Blues home

Boots had an excellent win at Trent Vale Road, completing a double over runners up Keyworth United with a 4 – 1 win. Gareth Rees gave The Chemists an early lead from the spot after Richard Cooke needlessly felled Ibby Arsali. Alex Woolich levelled the scores with a superbly taken equaliser but second half efforts from youngsters Jamie Scothern and Greg Whatnall, plus another from veteran Rees sealed the win for Boots, who can finish fourth if they beat Cotgrave in midweek

Cotgrave were beaten 4 – 2 at home by Ruddington in a local derby but Mark Turner’s side can still finish sixth if they win their remaining games. Brothers Neil and Grant Russell got a goal each for Rudd with Callum Baker and Shane Blagg rounding things off. Eddie Draper and Richard Brodski replied for Cotgrave

Kimberley MW concluded their campaign by jumping three places thanks to an excellent 4 – 1 win over Clifton who finish in the bottom half after a disappointing end to the season which has seen Kev Waddley’s side win only one of their final six league games. Danny Henshaw, Leon Wilson, Leon Roberts and Ryan Doherty were on target for Welfare, who will be pleased with the way they have finished the season with winger Karl Mitchell getting the consolation for All Whites
