Blidworth Welfare v Calverton MW CML Premier Division
Paid our first visit to Blidworth to see them take on Calverton - Calverton needing the win to ensure runners spot would be theirs. Not been to Blidworth for many years, we used to play YEFL rep squad games there - back in the dim and distant past....pleasant enough set-up... very nice view, but needs the odd lick of paint. Last time we saw Calvo, they destroyed Thorne Colliery 9-0 - we didn't think this game was going that easy, but when they missed a sitter in the first minute, we did begin to wonder.
As it happened, it took just 5 minutes for BEN MIDDLETON to open the scoring - a tap in after the ball was played across goal from the right. Blidworth settled down and made a game of it - both teams were displaying some good touches, and it was not until four minutes from the break that Calverton increased their lead -- this time WARREN HATFIELD firing past Frost in the home net. Blidworth pulled one back in the minute of added time, VINCENT'S shot from the edge of the box beating the despairing dive of the Calverton stopper. H-T 1-2
Normally a goal near the break gives a team a boost - it did this time, but it was the visitors who upped their game, netting twice in the first four minutes of the second period. After a great save from Frost, BAZ PAINE was left with a loose ball tap in to make it 1-3, then MIDDLETON netted his second, yet another close range tap in. It stayed at 1-4 until the 85th minute when HATFIELD rounded Frost to score the visitors fifth. F-T 1-5
£2 to get in - no programmes left when we got to the ground -- flippin hoppers took em all !!
Kev's mate Rob was in town on business from Scotland - staunch Dunfermline fan... He was a little surprised with the quality of football the teams turned out - well impressed. Looks like he may be hooked - he is planning on taking in the Stanton Ilkeston game with Kimberley....
