Saturday 15th September 2007 -- F.A. Cup 1st Qual Round
Spoilt for choice really ,,, Carlton v Matlock, Arnold v Long Eaton or Gedling Town .... we chose Gedling because we saw them go through the last round, and thought it might be interesting to see them take on a side from a division higher.
( Gedling -- NCEL Div 1 v Mickleover -- NCEL Premier ).
Not a massive turn out, but there were a lot of folk taking a pleasant afternoon beside the river in the Ferryboat Inn backyard!!!!
Took 6 minutes for Alan Jeffries to capitalise on some poor defending - latching onto a loose ball before firing home to give Gedling the lead. More poor defending -- Sam Saunders fell over chasing a loose ball, then as the ball was played into the box, James Whitehead failed to clear and Mickleover levelled.
H-T 1-1
The game was a classic end to end F. A Cup slog, but the second Gedling goal was a gem. Ben Cobley collected the ball before slotting in Nick Kennerdale who fired the ball in to the far post where Jeffries was waiting to nod home.
Mickleover stormed forward looking for the equaliser, but with Lee Soar and Matt Millns supreme in centre of the Town defence, Sports never looked like beating Spriggs in the Town goal.
Right at the death, Whitehead netted the Town third goal -- and Gedling were safely into the "hat" for Monday's draw ( with a £2250 prize to boot!!). F-T 3-1
Tuesday may see us nip down the M1 to visit Long Eaton Utd -- they take on South Normanton in the NCEL Presidents cup...
