Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League: Division One
BINGHAM TOWN FC 0 AC UNITED FC 1
On Saturday 25th April 2015, groundhoppers headed to watch Bingham Town v Ruddington Village which ended up in a stalemate 0-0 draw, since that match nearly 9 years ago, Ive not seen a 0-0 draw. Today I was heading to watch Awsworth Villa v Southwell City Reserves but after a phone call, I found it was off due to a waterlogged pitch.
I saw Bingham Town were at home and in past years, Ive seen some football played on very heavy muddy pitches there, so after a quick phone call and confirmation it was on, Hazel loaded up the car and we were soon on our way.
I was soon greeted by todays referee Michael Mrozek and members of the Bingham Town FC committee and soon had a cuppa. Then with both team sheets,I headed to pitchside where it was a slight drizzle but ok for taking photos, the rain soon stopped and I was joined along the touchline.
The match kicked off but both team cancelled each other out and when the ball did beat the defences, it either rolled to the keepers or shots went wide of target or the keepers were just catching the ball easy out the air.
The Second Half kicked off and a incident occured on the far side of the pitch, to which the referee reduced the visitors down to ten men. A few minutes later a late tackle saw one of their players get a yellow card. As time ticked on, Bingham got a free kick someway outside the penalty area and the referee asked several times for the AC wall to step back, they did then stepped forward and the referee produced a yellow card followed by a red card leaving United with 9 players with several minutes to play the rest of the match.
Late in to injury time, a quick break down the right hand side saw the ball crossed and AC's ROBBIE ENGLAND tapped the ball home to send the visitors back to Nottingham with the three points.
People always have opinions but I felt referee Michael Mrozek had a very good game and controlled it well.
