Rainworth MW v Hall Road Rangers

Tuesday 16th October 2007 NCEL Wilkinson Sword Trophy 1/4 final

Well - it's better than staying in watching telly... !!

Visited Kirklington Road again - Rainworth were hoping to avoid being dumped out of three cup competitions inside a week...the lost to Southwell City last Tuesday in the Notts FA Senior Cup and then to Chasetown on Saturday in the FA Cup.
A very unfamiliar Wrens team took to the pitch in pouring rain -- it rained all through the game - nice...After a fairly even 30 minutes, Rainworth's Richard Smith went in for a challenge with Hall Road's Adam Walker - the scream eminating from Walker lead you to believe he was seriously injured ..the ref thought so too -- he sent Smith off -- but after treatment from the rather nice Hall Road physio lady, Walker was up and runnning like a lamb in Springtime !! Anyway, seconds after Smith was dismissed, Rangers took the lead - poor defending on the left setting up a tap in for Paul Palmer to give the visitors the lead.
H-T 0-1

James Barnwell saw his 55th minute free-kick deflect past Hales to double Rangers' lead and right on full time, as we were heading up the ramp and out of the ground Rangers added a third.
So Rainworth out of three cups, but having played only 4 league matches maybe Rudi and his lads shouldn't be that bothered.

Other results from Tuesday -- Barton Town Old Boys 3-4 Gedling Town --- Bartons third defeat in 7 days, but the win sends Gedling to the top of NCEL Division One.

Arnold have been playing well apparently - but they lost 6-1 at home to Liversedge in NCEL Premier Division.

Eastwood have been flying, but suffered their second defeat in 4 days, going down 2-3 at home to Matlock...

Rolls lost 3-1 at home to Gedling Miners Welfare in the Notts FA Senior Cup. - no surprise - Gedling are second in CML Supreme, while Rolls languish at the foot of the table.

Next game will be Gedling Town v Hall Road Rangers in a league game on Saturday - it will be interesting to see if the Rangers line-up resembles the one that played Rainworth ...
