F.A. Cup 2nd Qual Round
The choice was made, and the right one methinks, although the Glapwell 4-4 with Market Drayton looked a good game !
Always enjoy going to Christchurch Meadows, best snap ever and the setting is fantastic. Chips and peas for me, pie, chips, peas and gravy for Kev -- just the job !!...
With Hucknall struggling at the bottom of the Conference North, Belper had a great chance to cause a cup upset -- and they took it well.
Belper took the lead after just 14 minutes - a superb free-kick from the left volleyed home crisply at the far post by Anthony Wilson. It seemed that everything Hucknall did was laboured, and although the confidence must be low after their poor start to the season, they should be sweeping away UniBond Div One teams. The Watnall Road outfit managed to pull level just before the break, a corner from the left nodded on by Timmons and Akers was on hand to tap home from close range.
H-T 1-1 Roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce cob !! Heaven !!!!
From the re-start it looked like Hucknall had found a bit of a spark, but the spark never developed into a flame, and Belper came back strongly halfway through the half. On 69 minutes when Anthony Wilson was tripped in the box, Ross Hannah smashed the spot kick past Greg Smith in the Hucknall goal to give the Nailers the lead. Only a great save from Adam Ogden, the Belper keeper, in the 5th minute of stoppage time kept the home advantage, but truthfully Belper got the £3750 prize money, while Hucknall got what they deserved .. nowt !
Tuesday 2nd October -- Rainworth v Kidsgrove Athletic -- F.A. Cup 2nd Qual -- tough one for Rudy's lads......
