HUCKNALL ROLLS LEISURE FC 4 BURTON JOYCE FC 1
I was going to Underwood Villa v Netherfield Albion today until when I found out the match was being played at Underwood's ground I altered my plans, as I looked out the window it was drizzling here in Mansfield and thought I'd ring the contact I have at Hucknall Rolls Royce to check if there was a planned pitch inspection, as my facebook group Non League England Wales & Scotland was getting a lot of games called off. When I rang, the reply was I've no idea I'm in Cambodia!!
I then rang Darren Ward at Burton Joyce FC and he said he had heard nothing to say it wasn't on and it was a 3pm kick off, so all systems go and it was Hucknall Rolls Leisure FC I was heading for.
On arrival, I was greeted by the Rolls Management and the young lady who was doing the secretary job today, as was she when I last saw Rolls when they beat Bilborough Town first game of the season. I was then invited for a cuppa and again at half time.
With Hucknall Rolls in second place in the table, two points behind leaders Kimberley Miners Welfare, this was a must win game for them. Burton Joyce FC in the bottom half of the table.
The game kicked off and Burton Joyce FC had not read the script as after just 108 seconds, TROY SMITH broke through and put the visitors in to a shock lead. Burton Joyce continued to create the better of the chances and could well have been 3-0 up, whilst Rolls play seemed to break down and not really test the visiting keeper.
Thinking of my half time cuppa on 43 minutes and a handball occurred in the visitors penalty box giving Referee Barry Goodley no option but to award a home penalty to which it was duly dispatched by ANDY START to level up the scores. There was still more to come with seconds on the watch in the first half, when a foul 30 yards out gave the homesters a free kick, which CONNOR WHITES swerved over the Burton Joyce wall giving the keeper no chance to send Rolls in to a half time lead 2-1.
The Second half got underway with Hucknall stepping up the game and attacking a lot more making the visiting keeper work a lot more, but Burton Joyce wasn't without chances either. On 65 minutes, a ball was crossed in and GREG CONN swept past the Burton Joyce keeper to increase the home teams advantage to 3-1. Within two minutes, it was 4-1 when a long free kick from the left side was sent in and met low by the head of ANDY START.
The visitors didn't give up and hit the bar with a looping shot, whilst at the other end, their keeper pulled off two very good saves .
