Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League: Premier Division
WOODTHORPE PARK RANGERS FC 3 FC SEZ 3
On Thursday morning I opened the curtains to see the front garden and our road on the cul de sac snowed in, so thoughts was my comeback to pitchside ld have to wait another week.
On Friday Evening, I was the special guest on Grassroots Plus Podcast, a show I listen to every week, so was delighted to be asked to go on to, the show is well worthy of a listen, so please give a listen on this LINK
Well a fair few matches were off this Saturday but then noticed 2 matches being played at Eagle Valley and the one that caught my eye was FC Sez's visit to Woodthorpe Park Rangers, the reason, Ive only ever seen FC Sez and that was away at Attenborough FC a number of years ago.
On arrival, Hazel got my scooter out the car boot and put to together like a jigsaw, then just as I was about to get a cuppa,up strolled fiend and local hopper Jim Bethall, Jim was fast out with his wallet and the coffees was in my hand. I put mine in to the basket at the front of my scooter and as I turned the cup fell over with all coffee inside, one mistake made..must take a flask next time for them to pour it in to.
It was to pitchside and the weather looked a bit grey and cloudy as the game kicked off, the game began with the ball going from end to end, until after 5 minutes the visitors took the lad, when a freekick as floated in to the area for DOMINIC FURNISS to knock home.
On 14 minutes, the scores were level, when Rangers captain CONNOR SCOTT-PARKIN made it 1-1.
Them grey clouds then decided to open up, so I headed the entrance of the clubhouse, where I joined the FC Cavaliers management and some of their players, as their match had been postponed. During that time, after 32 minutes, a ball was played from the right wing but due to a parked car in the way, all hard was the shouts of goal from the visitors and all their players going over to celebrate with team captain BAILEY WALKER as he had restored their lead.
The rain stopped so I ventured back in to the damp cold pitchside just before half time, where with the last kick of the half , the ball fell the Woodthorpes DALTON STEPHENS just outside the box for him to half volley home.
Jim Bethell said his goodbyes as he was shooting off to another match to see some more friends and handed m a donation for the blog, which I will mention more about at the end of the report.
The Second Half began and both teams were cancelling each other out until 62 minutes,when the homesters bought on sub TONY WILSON who wasted no time in finding the back of the net, as he had only been on the pitch for 30 seconds to give his side the lead for the first time in the match.
FC Sez changed tactics and pressed forward and in the 85th minute were awarded a penalty, to which MICHAEL LINDSAY stroked home to level up the score.
A fantastic game to come back to watch with both teams a credit to the Nottinghamshire Senior League.
The Referee Brett Hovey had a excellent game along with hos two assistants Tim Bee and Gareth Tye.
