THE MOORS SERVE UP WIN IN NEWARK

NOTTS SENIOR LEAGUE

Division Two

NEWARK FLOWSERVE FC 0 MOORGREEN FC 3

Before this match Newark Flowserve were in 2nd place whilst visitors sat behind 3rd in the League table, both with games in hand over top of the league Ashland Rovers, so a lot to play for today.

 

I rang Flowserve Matchday Sec Matt Wade for a chat on Friday Night and again after overnight rain on Saturday morning to confirm the game was on. I have seen this club under different names over the years and it has always been a welcoming friendly club under the titles of Worthington Simpson FC, IDP FC and now Newark Flowserve FC.

 

On arrival, outside the visitors changing room stood Moorgreen FC manager Keiran Edwards puffing away on a fag and was soon met by home Sec Matt Wade. Then out the clubhouse entered old friend Dave Hurstfield.

 

A couple of kind gestures as I went in to the tidy clubhouse as Matt had set up a tab for me and my family as guests of the day and Keiran had organised a whip round from the players and staff of Moorgreen FC for the Blog's Charity..I have put money for the hospitality from the Newark club towards the charity total as well, so a massive thankyou to both clubs.

 

The game kicked off with the wind howling from behind the clubhouse end driving down the pitch and to Moorgreen's advantage and it wasn't long before they were in front, as after just 6 minutes when DAVIES pounced on a loose ball to fire home. This seemed to spur the visitors on and if not for brave keeping by the home goalie and poor finishing this game could well of been out of the homesters sight by half time.

 

After my half time cuppa, a chat with the home management and with the wind to their backs, could they make it pay off. The second half kicked off and Moorgreen seemed to deal with the conditions the best and went very close several times including hit the post on a couple of occasions. Whilst the score was 1-0, you had a feeling that the amount of chances that the visitors were spurning, it would only take one chance to bring the home team back in to this game and this nearly happened in the 86th minute, when clean through and in front of goal, the home attacker  is kicked his shot only to see it go wide.

 

With the clock ticking down and in to the final minute, DILKS doubled the visitors lead to secure the three points, but this was the final act, as the home side poured forward,  this left a massive gap at the back and with a quick breakaway BOWLER hammered home a third.

As the final whistle blew, Moorgreen knew they had taken a giant three points today and the players joined joint managers Edwards and Slaney and the 2 assistants Kiss and Roe in a joyful heap on the pitch.

Referee Scott Anderson had a good match where he explained every decision to the players,so they knew what he had awarded.

RUNNING AMOUNT

£341.00

After raising over £800 for the Cancer Unit at Kings Mill, me and hazel felt we should look to help a project or charity that is a bit smaller for the forthcoming season.

This season 2013-14, we are to aiming to support a small vital community group, where adults with special needs learn life skills and get help with housing and living independant but with support, cooking, ironing and some things we all take for granted.

We have found over the years, there are groups and charities for children up to the age of 16 years but then as they advance in years, there is little or no support at all.

This season we have decided to help a charity called The Oaklands. I will advertise a few of their upcoming events and when they have updated their website(which they are doing at present) I will add it to the blog.

This charity gives the adults with special needs not only great support but confidence and also respite from their family or carers also.

If you see me at a match and wish to make a donation, no matter how large all small, all will be gratefully accepted.
