Kev's wedding anniversary!! And still he gets to football!! Big thanks to Mrs. Kev !!
Belper Town v Redford United UniBond Division One South
Christchurch Meadows is one of our favourite haunts - usually...
Arrived 15 minutes before KO time and went for our pre-match snap, only to discover a queue 1/2 mile long - well, I may have exagerated a little....we managed to get served just before the teams kicked off. Opted for the pie, peas, chips and gravy rather than the pork and stuffing cob....nice enough grub, but the biting wind soon made everything go cold - and cold chips are not very nice!
Still, the match was fairly entertaining, although the Belper no. 5 was soon back in the changing room, after two reckless challenges in quick succession saw the Ref produce two yellows then the dreaded red. Belper were always going to struggle against runaway league leaders Retford, but with 10 men they had no chance at all. Mick Godber netted for United on the half hour to give the visitors the lead. H-T 0-1
Belper played with a bit more passion and effort in the second half, but I don't imagine Retford concede many goals, and they didn't look like conceding in this game - the Belper front line were all rather on the small side. Both regular Town strikers Hannah and Wilson were suspended for this game - come on lads, you can't score goals from the stands.....
Godber netted again on 75, firing a loose ball home after sustained pressure on the home goal.

Should be going to Glapwell on Tuesday 25th, but Kev has other plans so I may give it a miss and get my next fix at Sutton on Thursday.
