HONOURS EVEN AT THE MEMORIAL

Central Midlands League; South Division:
SOUTHWELL CITY FC 2 PINXTON FC 2
 
A great advert for Central Midlands League between two teams who played very good football in a game where no one grumbled about taking a point from.
 
On arrival I was greeted by Mr Southwell Pat Johnson and bought a cuppa and had a seat with Southwell's keeper Alex Smith's dad and his lovely Girlfriend and another players attractive piece!
 
Out I went and took the Southwell City team pic and took up my position next to a few of the Pinxton faithful. The game began and it was a good pace with the visitors winning the first part of the game and indeed it was the visitors who looked more likely to open the scoring with a shot for the halfway line that had the home keeper back peddling to see the ball bounce off thhe bar after 14 minutes.
 
In Southwells's first attack, it saw REGGIE ROYES fire them in front to cheer on the home supporters amongst the crowd of 80. With the sun dipping I strolled round the pitch and joined a groundhopper who was a friend of Brian Buck.
 
Pinxton then thought it want to be their day when they saw another long shot bounce off the post. In the 35th minute, the were awarded a free ick just outside the box, which was hit straight in to the arms of Smith.
 
As I edged round towards the clubhouse on 45 minutes, Pinxton were awarded another free kick in a similar position, to which this time JAY COOPER stepped up and blasted in to the net to send the teams in level at half time.
 
The Second Half saw Pinxton picked their game and Cooper had two good chances but put them both over the bar when through on goal from a angle, but after 52 minutes, JAY COOPER made no mistake this time when he stroked away his and his clubs second of the game.
 
On 64 minutes, a late challenge around the half way line saw Pinxton reduced to ten players as the player had already been cautioned earlier in the game.
 
This spurred the Minstermen forward and they got their reward on 71 minutes when after a goal mouth scramble TAZ NADIE forced the ball over the line.
 
A fair result in the end. After the match a chap bought me a pint and asked that the money go  in to my blog's charity and also Southwell City made a kind donation..I'd like to thank everyone, as now the running total stands at £356.25 for the Oaklands for Disabled Adults.
