Samba Nottinghamshire Senior League
Division One
KIRTON BRICKWORKS FC 0 AFC TOP VALLEY 2
With my operation in 8 days time, I didnt want to venture far out and I hadnt been to Kirton Brickworks this season, Kirton had installed a new manager Rob Musson only on Wednesday evening but dont take the team on till the next match, the visitors today were AFC Top Valley who are running away at the top 16 points clear.
As always a warm welcome and cuppa awaiting for me on arrival, the game soon kicked off and it felt great to have my camera with me and my arm out of a sling.
Kirton pushed forward early doors, but Cummings came very close to opening the scoring for the visitors but was foiled by Ricketts guarding the home net.
On 13 minutes, a lovely move down the right hand side saw Cummings cross the ball foot perfect for JOESPH GUNN to put the visitors in front.
Both sides were giving 100% on a heavy pitch and a few late challenges went in from both teams, sometimes looking like the game may just boil over.
The Half Time break came and went and the game got a bit scrappy and then within 2 minutes, both teams went down to 10 men due to seeing a man each sent to the Sin Bin, whilst both sides were down to 10 players, in the 67th minute, a scramble in the home penalty area, saw the ball land in front of NATHAN ATKINS who hooked the ball home and double AFC's lead to 2-0.
Kirton pushed players forward, but Top Valley broke a couple of times and the homesters had their keeper to thank for keeping the score down.
