Saturday 15th March 2008 Pt II



Rainworth MW v Rossington Main NCEL Div One

We missed out on loads of goals at the other games available to us, but the result of this game saw Rainworth leap over Gedling Tn into 2nd place in the League... the Wrens have only 5 games left to play while Gedling have 6.. runaway leaders Dinnington have 7 to play and need only 2 more wins to secure the title.

Rainworth had a few players out injured, and they struggled to play against the team 2nd bottom of the table and although Wrens keeper Hales was barely troubled for most of the first half, Rossies 8 ft tall stopper Jonjo Griffiths was also relatively untroubled, and the half ended scoreless. H-T 0-0

Talking to the Wrens physio Dave during the break, he said if it was up to him he would take off young Sam Betts and put on Adam Lillie.....as it transpired, Manager Rudi Funk took off striker Malc Brown for Lillie on 63, but it was Betts who netted after Griffiths failed to collect a cross. Betts netted again on 75, the ball slammed into the net from 8 yards after a mad scramble in the area. F-T 2-0

With Betts netting both goals, we had to take the rise out of physio Dave, regarding his half time suggestion -- but he wasn't too bothered - he's jetting off to Jamaica for a holiday next week........
