Honeymoon planning has meant I've not had time to write as proper match report, so apologies to my readers.

Suffice to say, We were unlucky to be 3-0 down at half time, but came out in the second half & at least held our own ,& for most of the half were the bestter side. We played exceptionally well, scored the first goal of the 2nd half & they looked troubled. We then relaxed too much for 5 mins & the yscored 2 goals which bascally put the game to bed. We kept playing & working hard & in the end it was 6-2. Goals by Beardsley & King.

It was disapointing that s omany players dropped out, I hoped they would want to prove to themselves that their performance in the 9-1 game was a blip.

Having said tha teveryone who played worked their socks off. Man of the Match? All 11. Well it's the only way I can justifiably give myself the award isn't it!

Cheers,

Loyd

Edwaltons recent push for the Senior Div. One title was halted when fellow contenders Nags Head Carlton,visited Alford Road on a bright sunny morning.

Looking to produce the sort of form that gained anu excellent midweek victory over Bridgford Taveners, Edwalton started on the attack and twice in the first 3 minutes created scoring opportunities that James Lipton failed to put away and it was the visitors who from their first attack broke quickly to take a 4th minute lead as Ben Loomes came well off his line but was beaten to the ball leaving the ball to be squared accross goal for an easy tap in 0 - 1. Edwalton pressed forward but were soon to lose James Lipton through injury to be replaced by Dean Lane but as in the previous week game with this opposition Edwalton found themselves two goals down as a quick break enabled the visiting striker to nip the ball away from our keeper to net goal number two 0 - 2 with 15 minutes on the clock.

JAKE HINCHCLIFFE with a firmly struck shot pulled us right back into the game and for a while we looked like getting further reward before Daz Briggs in attempting a clearance sliced the ball into his own net to send us in at the interval 1 - 3, when Phil King had to be replaced by Richard Beardsley following an earlier injury to his wrist.

Edwalton going down the slope began having more of the play and finally pulled another goal back from leading scorer Greg Najdan but another error at the back provided the visitors with a fourth goal with even worse to follow as they were into a 2 - 5 lead after more indecision proved costly.

Edwalton came back strongly creating several openings that were to once again to go begging, although KIERON HEATH netted our third from the penalty spot after Greg Najdan was brought down as he race in from the left to be sent flying. 3 - 5

Nags Head broke away again to get a 6th goal before constant late pressure saw Edwalton rewarded with a 4th goal from JAKE HINCHCLIFFE to make the final score 4 - 6.

A big disappointment not only as we failed to convert more of the chances that we are presently creating and also the nature of the goals we conceded which was hard to take as some of our defenders doing well against some quality attacking from the visitors, a result that sees us drop from 2nd to 4th and now 3 points off Nags Head at the top of the table

However with Bridgford Tavs suffering a heavy defeat at Beercalona 5 - 1 anyone of 6 teams still remain in the hunt for honours including ourselves.

However we need to pick ourselves up quickly for our double header game for 6 points this sunday at the Forest Recreation Ground against Beercalona who have won their last 7 games. So quite a challenge!

Man of the Match, Toby Liddiard who kept going right through the game and got in some great challenges.

Club Questionaire has to date proved to be very disappointing with only 12 forms now having been returned after 4 weeks and numerous reminders to get them in to Kevin or myself. This was your chance to let us know how to progress with the two senior teams but time is running out and decisions as to how we proceed next season have now to be taken.

LAST CHANCE THIS SUNDAY TO GET YOUR VIEWS INTO US
