Notts Senior League
Division Two
MAGDALA AMATEURS RESERVES 4 SNEINTON TOWN 2
Well I went to the Roko to see two new teams in the Notts Senior League, Hazel dropped me off at Hucknall Tram Station and I caught the first tram to Davids Lane before switching to the Wilford Lane Tram and walking the 5 minutes to the Roko.
Teams were got quickly and soon the players were on the pitch and it was the visitors who were very quick in to their stride forcing the home keeper Glen Guyatt in to a string of early saves, but it came as no surprise when Sneinton took the lead after just 7 minutes when their captain NATH DAVID slotted the ball home. It then looked like a matter of how many the Town would score, but Guyatt was equal to everything thrown at him.
After 17 minutes, the Amateurs were back on level terms when on their first attack LIAM McELHONE made it 1-1.
More drama was to follow in the 19th minute, when away winger Dean McLean was adjudged to be tripped and a penalty was given, up stepped Darren Payne and placed his shot on to the post before it bouncing clear. They say games have changing points and this was one in this match.
On the half hour, a through ball caught the visitors napping, and rebound saw a defender stick out his leg giving keeper Abell no chance to give the homesters a 2-1 lead. This gave the Budgies a lift in confidence and after 33 minutes found themselves 3-1 in front after DAN NEARY curled the ball home.
Magdala now were playing their best football of the game and after a attack down the left wing, the ball was played to ELLIOTT WILSON who fired home from some 25 yards.
The First Half was a matter of if you dont put your chances away, it can come back to bite you and that is exactly what had happened.
The Second Half saw the visitors just piled on attack as the home side defended with 9 players behind the ball and held their line very well, but after 66 minutes a well worked goal by DIEGO ZIDER reduced the arrears. Sneinton pressed and huffed and puffed and on another day may well have scored a lot more goals but tonight was going to be the Budgies night.
Must add that both sides respected the Referee Gregg Stuart who had a excellent game.
With the Six goals scored, it now takes the Charity Blog running total to £976.00p to MAGGIES CANCER CARE CENTRE based at Nottingham City Hospital, anyone that would like to make a donation, please see me at any of the games that I attend.
