Gedling Town v Scarborough Athletic

Saturday 3rd November 2007 NCEL Division One

During the course of the season, you will see and hear about various "misses of the season" on tv and radio etc... let me tell you something -- Alan Jefferies missed a goal in this game that Stevie Wonder would have scored !! Less than a yard from goal - the ball sitting up lovely after being flicked on ..... Jefferies decided he had to smash it's face in, and instead of the ball into ending up in the back of the net, it crashed off the crossbar and away to safety ------errrr,,,, Alan, that was uncalled for, you only had to tap it home !!!!

The visitors opened the scoring on the half-hour mark - a breakaway after defending a corner saw the no.9 outpace his marker and fire home.

H-T 0-1

Borough netted their second in the 89th minute - another breakaway, another goal .. Matt Millns headed powerfully home seconds later to make it 1-2, but the unbeaten record has gone - and it has to be said -- the better team won ....wound licking time in the home changing room. Verdict ? Must do better.....




Gedling on the attack











Long Eaton won 2-0 at home to Winterton Rangers, Rainworth won 3-1 at Rossington Main, Mansfield beat Macclesfield 5-0,,, all this plus I turned down the chance to go to watch the Florists - they beat Tranmere 2-0 ( Kev is going to add his thoughts about this game) .... ah well, you pays ya money, ya teks ya choice !!! Can't get it right every time....

Tuesday -- a visit to Long Eaton again -- they take on Glapwell who have won 8 out of 8 games so far .... may be a chance for me to see Willis Francis play again... young lad played for me in the YEFL rep squad a couple of times before going on to play for Notts County.....
