Rolls Royce Leisure v Sutton Town
After staying in to watch the Arsenal debacle on Tuesday night, finding this game on was something of a bonus - a chance to see CML Supreme Division (step 7) strugglers take on CML Premier ( step 8) promotion hopefuls Sutton Town, managed of course our old buddy Danny Bryant.
Very muddy at Rolls, and it was £3 to get in -- still about 50 brave souls turned out to watch -- not too cold but blimey it was windy.......difficult conditions to play in, but both teams did us proud, knocking the ball about nicely and displaying some half-decent stuff.
The Rolls team looks like an Academy side, all their players look so young - usually there are one or two old-stagers mixed in with ther youngsters, but this team is full of very young players.
As it happened after the Rolls' keeper had made a couple of great saves, the home team took the lead after 15 minutes, their no. 9 latching onto a through ball before slotting the ball past the Sutton keeper. The lead didn't last more than about 5 minutes though, the Sutton no. 9 curling a beauty into the top corner from about 25 yards - Kev reckoned the striker used the wind to help the ball hold up, but I'm not sure !!

H-T 1-1
Up to the club for a quick drink, then the long trek back to catch the second half, both of us dreading extra-time and penalties !! Thankfully the fears were washed away as Sutton took the lead half way through
Excellent fayre though on a very difficult surface and in very difficult conditions. Made a change to go out on a Wednesday -- spoilt a little for Kev though with the Forest result....
Saturday -- spoilt for choice again -- Dunkirk v Southwell / Sutton Tn v Kinsley Boys / Shepshed Dynamo v Grantham Tn / Arnold Tn v Winterton Rangers / Gedling Tn v Barton Town Old Boys / Rainworth MW v Dinninton Tn
