Notts Senior Cup
Quarter Final
CLIPSTONE FC 2 BASFORD UNITED FC 3
Picked up at 6.45pm by my mate Daz Wragg and off to Clipstone we headed. Had a cuppa before the match and a few hello's to all.
For the First Half I went over towards the stand on the side and stood with old friend Richard Lane and some of the Newark Town lads turned up. The match kicked off in slight drizzle with both sides cutting out the odd chance, but Clipstone had a few injury problems and were forced to change their game plan after making 2 subs in the first 13 minutes.
On 25 minutes, it was one of those subs IAN HILLIER that opened the scoring with a hook shot from a good 25 yards out and Clipstone looked good for their lead. It looked like they were to hold on to the lead for the half time break but the visitors had other ideas after 42 minutes when MARK BROOKES cross shot deflected and went over the home keeper.
After the half time cuppa, the rain took hold and thrashed down, but the pitch looked perfect, credit goes to the groundsman. I stayed behind the goal and stood with Mr & Mrs Retford Knight. Clipstone began the second half on the right foot and began to attack and went very close several times with Haslam becoming a threat along with Watson.
But as Clipstone wasted a few chances, Basfords were at limit but they took them and this happened after 66 minutes when Anderson cross for TJ NIGHTINGALE headed home. Clipstone upped their game and threw everything at the Basford back four and the keeper had to be in fine form to preserve their slender lead.
On 70 minutes with Watson going forward, he was bought down and the ball landed at Haslam with only the keeper to beat, but the referee bought the game back and sent off the Basford player as he was last man and gave a free kick.
On 73 minutes, Clipstone had a corner and the ref had already warned a Basford player, as the corner came in from the right, the Basford player pushed the Clipstone forward in full view of the referee and the ref had no hesistation in pointing to the penalty spot, much to some of the visiting players anger. Up stepped CARL HASLAM who fired home the equaliser.
The game looked there for Clipstone now and when a shot from outside the box came in, the keeper just stood and watched as it bent away from the goal at the last second.
On 83 minutes, a Basford player went down outside the box and I think most on the ground thought the ref had given a free kick but had awarded a corner on the left hand side, a well taken corner came in and was met by CARRUTHERS who headed his side in to the semi final of the Notts Senior Cup
