Pinxton FC are one of the favourites for the CMFL South Division and on this display this evening at the Fieldings showed exactly why.

On arrival I was greeted at the gate by club chairman Russ Booth and soon joined by New Mils based hopper Ian Oldfield, the local hoppers began to arrive as the programmes were going like hotcakes. Me and Ian ventured in to the refreshments room and enjoyed pie and peas and a cuppa.

I strolled over to the far side of the ground as the sun was very strong as kick off took place and it was the visitors that were cutting out the early chances, so after 21 minutes, it came as no surprise when a ball came in from the right, KIERON DEBROUWER saw his over had kick fly in to the net to the delight of local hoppers, Malc Storer, Kev Goodman, CMFL Press man Richard Lane and others around us.

Within 6 minutes, the advantage was doubled to the visitors, this time by KIERON DEBROUWER's header to the roar of the away bench, which we was stood near to.

The Millers tried to push forward but just couldnt pick up the second ball or even  force the visiting keeper in to a save that was going on target. Things got worse for the Millers in the 35th minute, when a ball in their area was knocked back for ROB FRETWELL to fire home to make it 3-0.

The Second Half saw mostly what we had seen in the First, with Pinxton pressing forward from the off and on 49 minutes, it was 4-0 to them, when ROB FRETWELL got his second of the game.

Things were going horribly bad for the Millers and after 54 minutes, they conceded a penalty to which KEIRON DEBROUWER coolly despatched to complete his hat trick and make it 5-0.

On the hour, KEIRON DEBROUWER made it 6-0 when scoring his 4th of the game, to which Malc and Kev had contacted the player to let him know that exactly 8 years ago to the day, he had scored 4 in another match.

Hosiery Mills still tried to play football but on a night they were second best and after 71 minutes, ROB FRETWELL became a hat trick hero with his penalty to make it 7-0.

Time was running down and yes we had a hat trick of penalties given to Pinxton, all correctly given in my opinion, but was we going to see a hat trick of penalties scored, the answer was no, as the Millers keeper made a superb stop from Shaun Smith;s hard struck effort.

As I was leaving the ground Russ Booth kindly thanked me for attending and kindly donated £20 to the charity;s blog, which this season is for NOTTINGHAM STROKE CLUB, I would like to thank Russ for his kind donation and with the goals scored tonight takes the running total up to a amazing £385.25p
