All About the Charity Blog

Over the seasons Aroundthegrounds has raised £1000's for different charities, this season 2018-19 is no different as we raised for FORGET-ME-NOT, a small self funding charity that supports people with dementia and their partners/carers. Each goal I see scored we will donated 25p, I know a lot of people and clubs like to donate, doesnt matter how small, it is always very gratefully received, your name or club will go on to the donators list.

QUICK DOUBLE GIVES KIRTON THE WIN

Nottinghamshire Senior League
Division One
Att: 80
MANSFIELD HOSIERY MILLS FC 0 KIRTON BRICKWORKS FC 2

On arrival at the Hosiery Mills, I soon got the team line ups and enjoyed a cuppa, I was soon joined by Dan Bishop and Chris Sharpe, before Nick Willis and Russ arrived. 

Before kick off a minutes silence was taken for a young lady involved at Mansfield Hosiery Mills. I stood with the groundhoppers and was joined by a local hopper Dave Woodings.

From the kick off, it was the Millers who looked more likely to score, with Luke Greaves going close twice, but the Brickies began to come more in to the game and after 11 minutes, a ball in to the area, saw KYLE CLARKSON get the ball first and lob it over the top of Matt New in the Millers net to put his side in to the lead.

It was soon to become 2-0 to the visitors as after 14 minutes, Brandon Mersh the young Referee gave Kirton a penalty, to which JON ROWLEY stepped up and stroke home. The Brickies were beginning to push forward a lot more often and were unlucky when a long range shot hit the crossbar before being cleared. The Millers were reduced to long range efforts which most went high and wide.

The Second Half, The Millers came out with a more attacking attitude and on 54 minutes, they saw a wicked shot crash off the crossbar,  visiting keeper Lee Bowler was called in to making a couple of good saves.

The rest of the half became a midfield battle with both sides pressing forward, but in front of a healthy crowd for the neutral produced a very good match.

 Must say I felt all 3 officials h\ad a good match

At the end of the match, I said good bye to the hoppers and Nick Willis kindly donated £20 and Chris Sharpe £5 to the Charity Blog which is for FORGET ME NOT, a small charity that supports people with Dementia and their carers and partners, so a BIG thankyou to Nick and Chris.
 Mansfield Hosiery Mills FC have also kindly pledged £1 per goal that they score in the 2018-19 season. The running total stands at a amazing £931.00.
