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.

STEVENSON;s DOUBLE EARNS WOLLATON FIRST WIN

Nottinghamshire Senior League
Premier Division
WOLLATON FC 4 BINGHAM TOWN FC 2
Att: 57
With the Tour De Britain Cycle Race hitting Nottinghamshire, it was a matter of looking where we could get to and Wollaton fitted the bill. On arrival, Wollaton;s Chair man made the drinks and then donated £10 on behalf of the club towards the Charity Blog that is for FORGET ME NOT, a small charity that supports people with dementia and their partners and carers.

The game kicked in fine rain that became heavier during the match, but the Sugerbabes(wollaton) went in to the game without a win, but were first on the attack and went close several times.

On 15 minutes, Wollaton took the lead when the ball was played across for BEN WATSON to stroke home. Wollaton certainly pumped their game up and mistakes in the Bingham defence lead to them being 2-0 down on 24 minutes, when TOM SLADE pounced and doubled his sides advantage.

By now I had walked over to behind the goal and a mistake by the home keeper who dropped the ball at the feet of Bingham;s LEWIS RAY in the 33rd minute halved the score. Wollaton pressed back and nearly scored again when a header struck the post before bouncing to safety.

 In the 39th minute, Wollaton thought they had scored when the ball went over the goal line but the Assistant Referee raised his flag, the referee went over for a chat and ruled a free kick to the amazement to most in the crowd.

After the half time cuppa, Bingham began the brighter of the Second Half and on 55 minutes they were level through CHRIS BRADFORD whilst home keeper seemed to be on the floor injured.

Wollaton didnt give up and continued to press forward and on 70 minutes, a cross from the left side found the head of JOSHUA STEVENSON to give his side a 3-2 lead. Bingham pushed forward, whilst the homester pressed on the break and after 83 minutes, JOSHUA STEVENSON was on one on one with the visiting keeper who made a save but the attacker followed up to tap his side in to a 4-2 lead.

The Charity Blog Running Total now stands at a amazing £942.50p
