Not often I get out to a local Friday evening match, but Calverton not too far away, Hazel said she would drop me off and fetch me after the game.

On arrival, I got a cuppa and ordered my Sausage Cob from Jo Swinscoe who was on kitchen duty and strolled over to the changing rooms to get the evenings line ups from the teams

Tony Mullen a true footballing gent kindly donated £10 towards the Blogs Charity for MAGGIES Cancer Care Centre based at Nottingham City Hospital.

I met up with Malc Storer and the referees family and then good friend Daz Wragg who kindly gave me a lift home, we were joined by Weymouth based Hopper and Notts County fan James Spring and also a hopper who had come from Hertfordshire.

The game kicked off at a even pace, with not many chances being created if honest as it seemed a midfield battle, butt on 29 minutes, the Community side broke and at the back left hand post EZRA KILUNGANO slot the ball home to give the visitors a lead.

Calverton pressed forward but found Brown in the opposition net to be standing tall, but on the stroke of half time, Basford broke clear and this time ANTHONY BEDWARD double their advantage.

After a half time cuppa and a chat with Tracie Witton, Mr Brown and Mr Cameron(not the ex pm), Basford took control of the game when after 47 minutes, JOE HARRISON made it 3-0.

Calvertons heads werent to go down and they kept trying to push forward and got their reward in the 55th minute when MATTHEW NEWTON steered the ball under Brown;s body. Could this be game on?

On the hour, Brown made a good save and from playing from the back, a cross from the right saw ANTHONY GRAHAM smash the Community;s fourth goal home to make it 4-1 after 62 minutes.

The game was then slowed in pace but still both sides had their chances to add to their tallys but it wasnt to be,

On the way home, I got a private message from Tony Mullen to say that I had won the football card, so will collect next time I see the club.
