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.

Counting back the years and it appeared that the last time I visited Wharf Lane, the home of Radcliffe Olympic FC was on the 21st March 2008 when they hosted a groundhop match in front of a crowd of 329 against Dunkirk FC.

Radcliffe Olympic at present are in process of re building their team after taking relegation from the East Midlands Counties League to the Nottinghamshire Senior League, with several changes of managers, former player Chris "Rocky" Bennett has taken over the reins and bought in several new faces.

Their visitors Keyworth United came in to the match sitting in 7th position after FC Cavaliers had moved above them in beating Eastwood Community Developement on the Friday Evening.

The game kicked off and it was Olympic with the better of the chances, but they could not force the visiting keeper in to a save, on another day maybe they would have gone in to the half time break 2 to 3 nil up.

The Greens of Keyworth pressed forward in the Second Half but they found the home defence hard to break down, but after 85 minutes, a ball came through from the right side in to the feet of SCOTT LITCHFIELD who slotted the ball into the Olympic net.

Radcliffe from the kick off had to push forward with little time left and this left gaps and on 88 minutes, CAMERON GREY stroked the ball home for United to give them the points.

Felt that all 3 officials had a good match

Photos from the match can been seen on this LINK
