With Kev away at the coast with his family, I decided to have a "lazy day" --- a day spent watching the 20-20 semi-finals and the ladies World Cup 1/4 final USA v England -- followed this with Barcelona v Sevilla and then MOTD -- a day well spent !!
Typical though -- all the games I could have gone to, saw the local teams successful...
Rainworth won at Radcliffe, Sutton beat Highfield, Gedling Town beat Castle Vale, Gedling MW beat Atherstone, Hucknall Town finally won, 2-0 v Vauxhall Motors, but the best result has to be Eastwood 2-1 Fleetwood.. Fleetwood previously 6 unbeaten. Eastwood move up to 6th place in the UniBond Premier Division. I know ETFC are struggling for a top striker at the moment, but with full backs Chris Shaw and Ricky Hanson scoring regularly, I can't see Gaffer Paul Cox panicking just yet.
The 20-20 was superb, leaving us with a Pakistan v India final -- the previous meeting saw the first ever "bowl-out" -- which India won 3-0 ...The England ladies did well in the first half, but conceded three in the second period to bow out of the tournament.
This coming Tuesday night -- three choices only -- Dunkirk v South Normanton, Long Eaton v Nuneaton Griff or Rolls Royce v Hatfield Main...spoilt for choice.....we saw LEU v South Normanton last week, and Rolls the week before.....may opt for either the Dunkirk or Long Eaton games, although replays are to be avoided ....so it could be Rolls again....

You really are missing a feast of fine football Malc, it's a shame the only game you have been to has been the worst in terms of performance.
Not sure what has happened to Antwon Bonnick. Pre-season left question marks as to whether he would adapt to this level of football. Last Saturday he was making a mockery of one of the UniBond tightest defences.
Hope to see you down Coro Park soon.
Hi Andy...
I am really pleased ETFC are doing so well, but I made the decision to "travel" this season, and I am enjoying myself no end!!
One question ...
With the team flying so high in the league and playing so well, why are home gates not soaring?
177 v Fleetwood must have been disappointing for everyone.
No idea Malc, you would have thought win the professional and so called leading non-league teams struggling, crowds would be on the increase. We'll see what happens when the new Chairman arrives.
New chairman? Announcement soon?
It's sort of been common knowledge for a couple of weeks now. I am going to leave the announcement until after the AGM on Sunday.
Change of mind.
On the website now.
