BEESTON SECOND HALF DISPLAY TAKES THE POINTS

Nottinghamshire Senior League

Division One

NETHERFIELD ALBION FC 0 BEESTON FC 4

Att: 5

Played on outside pitch @ Calverton MW

Must thank Rob Hillard for a lift to the match, with the impression that the game was to be played at Roko off Wilford Lane, it was found that Roko had double booked their pitches within hours of kick off, so all credit the home die who rang round and got a positive response from Calverton MW to make sure the game went ahead.

With both line ups got, a couple of folks began to arrive, as they were their to see another 6.30pm kick off in the AFC Top Valley v Nottingham Community match, but the 3rd pitch that match was supposed to go ahead on, was hit by vandels the night before, so switched to the main pitch with a 7.30pm kick off, so myself, Jim Bethell and his dad, Roger Rann and another gent watched the Netherfield Albion v Beeston game.

The game kicked off and the first half belonged to Albion who pushed forward and the Beeston keeper was called in to action a couple of times, but on 28 minutes, the ball was played in to the home sides area and the visitors took the lead when ROLAND TOMLINSON back heeled the ball through and in to the net.

Netherfield pressed forward and a couple of chances went begging.

The Second Half saw Beeston take control and on 55 minutes, a free kick was floated in from the left wing and BRIGHT AGANA headed home. A minute later, it should have been 3-0 when Agana missed a sitter from onside the 6 yard box in front of a open net.

Netherfield again forward again and had a one on one chance to reduce the arrears, but Burke in the Beeston net was equal and kept the ball out. With Netherfield pushing forward, this left gaps and Beeston ran in to them and on 80 minutes, their sub TOM O REGAN unleashed a 25 yard shot to make it 3-0 to the Orangemen.

Just as time was running down at the end of the game, TOM O REGAN made it 4-0 with a breakaway solo goal.

Must add that I felt that referee Thomas Bulse had a superb match and was well respected by both clubs.

I would like to thank the following people, Rob Hillard for the lift, Arnold Legend Roger Rann who holds the goalscoring record of all time for the Midland League who kindly donated £10 and to Jim Bethell and his dad who also kindly donated £10 to the Charity Blog where the running total now stands at a amazing £904.50p for FORGET ME NOT, a small charity that supports people with Dementia.
