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.

CHAMPS PUT DENT INTO UNITEDS HOPES FOR SECOND

Samba Nottinghamshire Senior League
Division One
WOODTHORPE PARK RANGERS FC 1 BRIDGFORD UNITED FC 0
Woodthorpe Park Rangers FC have only been going for three seasons and in their second season in the Notts Senior League won the Division One Championship on Wednesday evening with a win away at Radford Reserves. Last season Bridgford United were the Oranges close rivals finishing runners up to them in Division Two. Bridgford United at start of play sat in fourth place hoping to gain points on those above them in the table.

Out of respect there was a minutes silence asked for by the home side, which both teams honoured.

With both teams having players missing, this was going to be a match that was again going to be close, but it was the Rangers who nearly took the lead after just twenty seconds when a shot was deflected and then fell on to the wrong foot of a forward to shoot and the visitors were able to clear the danger.

Both sides had a game plan with Woodthorpe pressing forward with United breaking on the counter attack, but the only goal of the game came after 31 minutes, when the ball dropped to DARREN OLDHAM on the left side of the penalty area and his shot bounced just before the keeper and landing in to the net.

The Second Half began again with Woodthorpe pressing forward but the best chances of the half were on 54 minutes, when a header from United;s Nat David flew just over the crossbar and then on 78 minutes Woodthorpe thought they had increased their lead when a back pass struck the post.

Bridgford;s loss of this game will be a disappointment for them but with lots of vital points still to play for, second place is still there to be gained but it will be difficult as there are no easy matches at the end of a season.

I thought the referee Kieran Shaw had a very good match.

I would also like to say a special thanks to WOODTHORPE PARK RANGERS FC who had pledged 25p each goal they scored this season and with scoring 118 kindly donated a massive £30 towards the blogs charity FORGET ME NOT, a small charity that helps and supports people with dementia, the running total now stands at a superb £1,259.59p
