Notts Senior League
League Cup
Second Round
BINGHAM TOWN FC 5 BEESTON AFC 0
Last season, I came to Butt Lane and saw Bingham Town FC beat FC05 5-0, but on the way to this cup tie, I felt this would be a close affair with Bingham in the top half of the League One table hosting Beeston AFC flying high in the Senior Division. How wrong can one be?
On arrival, I met in the car park, former referee Geoff Siddons and headed for the clubhouse for a cuppa, sat there was local hopper Derek Clowes, so first half I stood between the two markouts near the halfway line.
The match kicked off and it was visable that Bingham seemed to be first to the ball and picking up every stray ball and looked more pumped up for the tie than their opponents from the west side of Nottingham.
A few meaty tackles were going in and the referee was having strong words with a few players whilst trying to keep the play rolling. From a corner from the left side, the ref's whistle blew and everyone looked at him in the 25th minute, as he indicated a push and pointed to the spot. Up stepped ADAM SENTANCE to pump home the ball to put the hosts in to the lead.
The game then went through a five minute spell when a Bingham Town player had to leave the field of play with a bad looking gash on his eye. Within a minute of the re-start, the Beeston forward and home keeper collided and the ball was cleared but the keeper stayed own and needed aid, but got up and was able to carry on.
Just before half time, I stood with 2 officials from Burton Joyce FC and at half time had a bovril with them and a good old chat. The Second Half kicked off and Bingham were soon on the front foot, with their attackers running through at well, whilst the away defence struggled to cope with them. It was through a through ball to GEORGE ABBOTT after 58 minutes who slid the ball past the oncoming keeper to double his sides lead.
Beeston tried to get back in to the game, but their forwards had the wrong boots on today as any shots went well over the bar or wayward. This left gaps at the back and after 74 minutes, a fine cross from the left wing, was delightfully met by the head of JACOB WALL to increase the score to 3-0.
With me thinking of my burger and chips and sign of extra time today, the scoring hadn't finished as JACOB WALL on 82 minutes hit the ball goal bound and the opposition defender helped the ball over the line to make it 4-0. Bingham could have added to their tally when hitting the post and also brave keeping by the Beeston keeper, but he couldn't stop ADAM SENTANCE scoring his second and his teams fifth of the game after 88 minute to wrap up the tie.
