Pre Season Friendly
WELBECK LIONS RES 4 MANSFIELD HOSIERY MILLS RES 3
Needed to stay very local after presenting the Blogs Charity Cheque for last season to the 10th Mansfield Scout Group for £728, so with Kirton Brickworks match being called off, due to their opponents not being able to raise a side, I thought I would visit Welbeck Lions Reserves who have entered in to the Notts Senior League Division Two, whilst todays visitors last season were Ashfields FC but have now merged with Mansfield Hosiery Mills to become their reserves.
The game kicked off in a lively tempo with both sides having decent efforts to open the scoring and we had to wait till the 27th minute, when the Lions took the lead, which they held until half time.
The Millers came out with more fight in the Second Half and got a equaliser on 55 minutes, but two minutes later, Welbeck were back in front. Two more goals in the 66th and 67th minute opened up a 4-1 lead for the home side, but then Hosiery Mills staged a comeback, firstly on 70 minutes, then a superb shot from 35 yards out to reduce the arrears.
In the final minutes, the Lions young keeper pulled off two very good saves to earn his side the victory in a excellent game of football.
With the 7 goals scored it takes the Blogs Charity total for MAGGIES CANCER CARE CENTRE at Nottingham City Hosiptal to £890.50p
