Hucknall Town v Worcester City

Tuesday 23rd October 2007 Blue Square North

We decided to go to Watnall Road for our first visit of the season, even though the Town were bottom of the league and not playing too good ( according to the local press!!) and Champions league footy was on telly.

After paying our £9 to get in, we had a wander around the ground - a lot of improvements from the last time we were there -- grass verges near the dugouts have been concreted, and the area behind the Salterford Lane end has been terraced == all in all a very neat ground.

Had a 10 minute delay in play after the referee appeared to pull a calf muscle -- one lino took over the whistle and a "spare" linesman was found... ( we had a "spare" lino at our last game!!).

Danny Bacon opened the scoring for Hucknall early on, then Danny Mayman's speculative shot from 25 yards slipped through the Worcester keepers hands to make it 2-0 -- crisis ? what crisis?

Mayman fired home a 20 yard free kick halfway through the second period to make it 3-0, then big Ben Saunders headed a couple as the game drew to a close -- 5-0 !! again - what crisis .... nice to see defender Gary Sucharewycz back at his best for Town, but Ben Saunders and Danny Bacon looked the business up top.... we will have to pay another visit to Watnall Road very soon.......

Saturday -- Rainworth v Gedling Town ... can't wait !!
