The idea of the Blog is to support a small Charity and this season we have chosen "Nottingham Stroke Club". A small charity that relies on fundraising with no paid workers. It offers support to Stroke victims and hold day meetings every Thursday to include a Quiz, lunch, chair exercises and also day trips and holidays. We are to sponsor 25p for each goal we see scored during the 2019-2020 season at matches we attend. Any clubs that would like to pledge or friends/fans please contact me

A GRAY DAY FOR AFC

Pre Season Friendly
UNITED GRAYS FC 4 WEST BRIDGFORD AFC 0
att: 22
Played at Forest Rec 4g

A late planned pre season friendly saw newcomers to the Nottinghamshire Senior League take on West Bridgford AFC who have altered their name from AFC Bridgford.

The game began at a slow pace on a cloudy day but the weather got better along with the football as the afternoon went along, With no referee available AFC veteran Barry Matthews took the whilstle for the first half and Jack Joesph for the Second period.

United were cutting out the chances in the First Half but it took until the 38th minute before they went in front, when a through ball saw LUKE BOWDEN break down the left hand wing and cut in and bury his cross shot in to the far corner of the net.

The Second Half saw Grays in the attack and on 57 minutes, a shot hit the post and bounced out to JOSH GARDENER who followed up and stuck home to make it 2-0.

In the 63rd minutes, it became 3-0 when a move down the left hand side saw a cross come in and JOSH GARDENER tap home from close range.

AFC had their best period of the game and forced a couple of corners and the Grays keeper was called in to action of attempts, but in the 85th minute United broke and KIERON LANE made it 4-0.
