Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League Division One
FCV GRACE DIEU 5 AFC SANDIACRE 0
Going in to this match, both teams had something to play for, whilst FCV gainned promotion last weekend, they sat in second place and had to win in hope that FC Cavaliers would drop points away at Meden Vale Colts, as Cavs had a two point cushion but FCV had a better goal difference. Meanwhile Town are near the foot of the table and needed something to stay up.
We was met on the car park by FCV's Shane Clarke who soon went off to fill our flasks with coffee and a chat with the Sandiacre management before meeting the referee Will Pelech.
I sat inside a goalnet at the side of the halfway line of the beautiful looking 4g pitch.
Sandiacre kicked off the match and lost the ball straight away, which led to a ball played to FCV's left wing, where the cross came in and HASSAAN FAROUQ tapped home after just 37 seconds.
Things got worse for the visitors, as in the 4th minute, ZHANI BURGESS dribbled the ball past a midfielder and shot from 30 yards to double the homesters lead.
I was a bit fearful that this may well be a very long afternoon for the visitors as Grace were knocking the ball around on the floor, with shots just going wide of the mark and Town not really troubling the keeper.
Town to their credit did try to play football and kept going but after 33 minutes, ALIS HALLALI juggled his way in to the area to make it 3-0.
The Second Half saw Town have a couple of good chances but werent able to convert any and on 54 minutes to the delight of the crowd of 52, a cross from the right saw HARRISON HOLLAND at the back post to tap in goal number 4 for FCV.
The game was very flowing with the match referee playing a lot of good advantages.
In the 85th minute, COLE CLINTON dribbled his way in to the box and turned his defender with a back heel and then fired in low to make it 5-0.
There was a wait to see what was happening at Meden Vale as all we had on twitter was that Cavs were leading at half time 1-0, back at the pub still no result was showing from this match on Full Time, so a call was made to Meden Vale who had told us that the final score was 0-1 and Cavs had won the Division, but FCV in their first season had pushed them all the way and will do well in the Premier Division.
Credit to the referee Will Pelech who I felt had a very good game and also both sides wanting to play football in a decent match.
