Notts Senior League
Division Two
GREYFRIARS FC 0 MOORGREEN FC 3
On arrival at the Burton Road Ground, the home of Greyfriars FC, I was unsure which pitch the game was being played on, so had a chat with a few of the Moorgreen FC players , then arrived Visiting Joint Managers Kieran Edwards and Luke Slaney who then handed me a donation of £25.70 which had been collected by the players for my charity blog..so a BIG THANKYOU to ALL at Moorgreen FC for your support towards this years charity THE OAKLANDS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS ADULTS where the total moves on to a amazing £188.80.
I begin to watch a bit of a match on the nearest pitch where a team called Santos FC were playing, this club I know well from their time in the Central Midlands League and where Grimsby Striker Liam Hearn started his career.
Just before kick off and the game I'd come to watch, along came Leicester based Rob Campion who donated some programmes for the charity stall which Hazel runs. We had a chat as the game kicked off and it was Moorgreen who were on the front foot, with the home keeper soon called in to action making a couple of good saves, before the turn of the visiting keeper to smother a loose ball from a rare home attack.
On 17 minutes, the ball was played to the right hand side of the pitch where MATT CLOWES side-footed home the opening goal of the game. Rob Campion had moved downthe pitch and was talking to Matt's dad at the time of the goal. A stroll round the pitch and a few photos taken from the far side, but it was turning more in to a midfield battle with it ending fairly even, but not much attacking happening.
During the Half Time break, I strolled over to the Santos match where it was 7-4 to Santos at the time and had a chat with Santos Chairman Ken and his good lady before walking back to pitch side, but as I was walking back the Moorgreen FC had doubled their tally to 2-0 through ADAM WALSH on 47 minutes.
Some of the home players heads seemed to drop a little and the visitors got chance after chance, but came up against a very good keeper in the Greyfriars net to keep the Moorgreen players at bay.
Both sides made subs and it looked like the game was going to fizzle out but the visitors had other ideas and a ball out to the left wing and to CHANNON DAVIES saw him cut in and slice the ball home to make it a comfortable victory to take them to the top of the table and also 450 minutes without conceding a goal.
