Samba Nottinghamshire Senior League

Division One

ROBIN HOOD COLTS FC 1 KIMBERLEY MINERS WELFARE RESERVES FC 5

Att: 17

This was a the tale of two teams that havent done too well this season, The hosts Robin Hood Colts not having won a match in the past eight whilst their visitors went in to the match at the bottom of the table just below their hosts without a win in five.

On arrival a nice cuppa was made by the Colts Manager Jason and was soon being greeted by both sets of players and todays match referee Godwin Abraham Kingsley.

The game kicked off and to be fair not many chances were being created and at times you could see why both teams were down near the bottom of the table, but all players were giving it all and the match was going from end to end.

The deadlock was broken in the 36th minute, when a Colts defender failed to clear in his own area and was robbed for JOSHUA LEWIS to pounce up on and tap ball hone for the visitors to take the lead.

This seemed to spur the Miners on and just on the stroke of half time, a lovely move saw ETHAN LAMB beat the offside trap with a well judged run before slotting it past the Hoods keeper and making it 2-0.

At Half Time break Colts had to do something and make 2 subs, but this did little to help them as in the 51st minute, ETHAN LAMB made it 3-0 to the Welfare side.

Robin Hood Colts then had their best period in the game and pressed forward whilst the Miners were happy to push everyone behind the ball,but a mistake in the 67th minute saw the Robins back in the game with a goal from GEORGE CAMPS to narrow the margin.

In the 79th minute, the Robins saw their captain sent to the sin bin and things got worse for them when ETHAN LAMB completed his hat trick two minutes later.

In the 87th minute, the points were heading back to Kimberley when ISSAC WEATHERALL cut in from the right hand side and slotted home from a acute angle.

I felt the referee had a excellent match and I also felt that both club Assistants were also very fair and sporting.

After the match, Robin Hood Colts Manager Jason Gill kindly donated £20 to the Charity Blog from his club which is in aid of Nottingham Stroke Club, so a BIG thankyou to Jason and all at Robin Hood Colts FC the running total now stands at £700.50p.
