Forest Town v Gedling MW CML Supreme Division
6:30pm kick off made this a bit of a rush after finishing work, but traffic was fairly light and arrived at the ground in plenty of time. Kev was back from his weekend jolly's and met me at the ground. Forest Town have apparently got hold of Scarborough's old floodlights, but I can only assume they are still in Scarborough - hence the early ko.
Forest Town needed a point from this, their final game of the season to ensure finishing in second spot behind Askern. For a while, Gedling looked to have spoiled the party, Stefan Dalmedo's superb 23rd minute free-kick giving the visitors a deserved lead. H-T 0-1
Town Manager Gary Castledine came on at half time, and his players seemed a little more motivated. It still took until the 81st minute for the home team to level - visiting keeper Mason watched the ball fly over him and as it was played back across his goal the ball was fired home from close range. Nasty incident towards the end of added time -- Dalmedo appearing to strike a Forest Town player earning a straight red from referee Mr. Ward - and probably a three match ban to start off with next season. F-T 1-1
Had a nice chat with Rob Hornby again - he explained how the League hopes the new re-structuring will work next term...
Admission £3.00 , excellent programme £1 -- me, being me, had a £20 note - and was rewarded with 16 x £1 coins for change......damn it - I'll never learn !!

On the whole a very pleasant evening - nice surroundings, a couple of decent views ( until it got too cold and coats were put on!! ) .......
