Notts Senior League
Senior Division
COTGRAVE FC 0 SELSTON FC 4
Today took the Charity Blog over to the East of Nottinghamshire to Cotgrave FC, who are the hosts for the Friday Evening match of this seasons Notts Senior League Groundhop. Their visitors Selston FC were over the moon with last weeks result where they beat AFC Mansfield in the Notts FA Senior Cup, a result which made me place a vote for them for the Notts FA Team of the Week.
On arrival, I got chatting to a couple of players from each sides and got my programme, a nice effort from the club at just a quid. It was then in to the refreshments lounge/hut for a cuppa and a wispa bar, whilst Hazel sat in there with her knitting.
A greeting from todays match officials and the ref John Beckett, a friendly face from previous matches Ive attended was hoping to get a Groundhop match this season. Infact today, he didn't have a bad game, keeping it flowing when he could.
The First Half was a matter of a midfield battle, with both sides cancelling each other out and neither keeper really being called in to any action, so te half time cuppa had to warm me up.
The Second Half and the visitors stepped up that extra gear and looked to have opened the scoring after 50 minutes, but a last ditch tackle by the home defender stopped the attacker getting his goal bound shot on target. The pressure did pay off on the hour mark, when a cross from the left side was met by JAKE WRIGHT who tap home from close range.
Cotgrave pushed forward and had a couple of chances themselves but they didn't really test the keeper in the visiting net that much. Selston continued to press forward and the homesters started to look a bit tired and the visitors took advantage of this in the 87th minute, when DOMINIC CARRAHER doubled the score.
This seemed to put a spring in to the step of the away team and on 90 minute, they were awarded a penalty to which RICHARD JEFFREY duly converted to make it 3-0. With some spectators thinking it was all over, you always say don't leave until the last kick of the game and those that did leave missed the final goal as RICHARD JEFFREY hammered home from a acute angle on the right hand side to make the final score 4-0.
