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

WOLLATON FC MAKE IT FIVE WINS ON THE BOUNCE

Samba Nottinghamshire Senior League
Premier Division
ATTENBOROUGH FC 1 WOLLATON FC 3
Played at Basford United FC
Attendance: 35

A chance today to get in a Notts Senior League double on the 4g at Basford United FC, with a 1pm kick off of Attenborough FC  who after a change of manager have won the past 3 out of 4 league games who hosted  Wollaton FC who had won 9 out of their last 11 league fixtures.

The game kicked off and it was soon the visitors who had the early openings and after just 3 minutes, a cross from the right wing found the scooping head of ADAM HASSALL who guided the header home. Things got worse for the Boro within 90 seconds as Wollaton known as the Sugababes doubled their advantage when DANIEL CHADWICK stroked the ball home from close range.

On 12 minutes, Wollaton raced in to a 3-0 lead when their top striker turned a hit his shot home from 30 yards out.

Wollaton continued to press forward and another cross came in, but as Charlie Carder came out to punch the clearance away, he went down with a shoulder injury and had to be replaced, it looked like the floodgates may well open up, but to Attenborough;s credit, they continued to push forward and take the game to Wollaton and in the 28th minute was awarded a penalty, to which KEIRAN WHALIN coolly converted.

The second Half saw Attenborough press and press but found no way through the Wollaton defence, but on 82 minutes, a crisp shot from outside the penalty area smashed against the post with the Wollaton keeper well beaten, but was then cleared to safety for Wollaton to record their 5th straight win.

Must mention the 3 officials who all had very good matches
