Only found out that this tie that was postponed from Saturday was to be played tonight last night via Dave Voller on Twitter. I rang up mate Daz Wragg and arrangements were made to pick me up.
Heavy rain fell this afternoon and as I watched twitter, some games began to fall as well, but around 4.30pm news came through the game was to go ahead.
On arrival, there was a new gateman and we was greeted by Dave Voller who asked me if I'd read his programme yet, still havent got round to it yet Dave, but it looks ok.
The teams lined up and I went to the stand behind the goal to join fellow hoppers Shaun and his partner Anna and we had a good catch up on different games where we had been recently.
On the pitch, the sides were poor with passes from both sides going astray far too many times, but it was the visitors who looked the more sharper in front of goal in a even half having the home keeper pull off 2 very good saves and a blidworth defender knocking the ball off the line.
As I was drinking my half time cuppa,, the sides were already on the pitch as I chattered away with a local named Charlie who watches Retford United FC. After only 47 minutes and Cavs had taken the lead from a low shot that crept under the Welfare's keepers body. Five minutes later on 52 minutes and the Cavs were delighted when from a cross from the right was headed home to double their advantage.
Blidworth made a couple of subs and pushed forward and got back in to the game when reducing the arrears to 1-2 after 67 minutes to give themselves hope in the tie. A injury then to a home player left them with all subs used and just 10 players for the last 20 minutes and Cavs wrapped up the tie in the 79 minutes to set up a away tie at Magdala Amateurs FC in the Second Round.
