Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League:Premier Division
BEESTON FC 1 ASLOCKTON & ORSTON FC 2
Having not visited Beeston FC from before pre covid some years ago, Id got this game in mind and with the visitors Aslockton & Orston winning the sponsors League Team of the Month, it gave me chance to do the team photo before the match.
As always a warm welcome by Beeston FC and manager Dan King before the match awarded me with 4 cans of Guiness 00 for helping him here and there with some advice and help when unable to do FA Full Time, which I would do with any club.
The teamsheeets were soon collected of match referee Lewis Quayle and my flask was soon filled by a lovely lady running the tea bar.
The game kicked off with Aslockton in fine form, whilst Beeston lower down in the table, havent been playing that bad, infact o0nly last week they were winning and lost to the final kick of the game and just havent had the rub of the green.
Making his debut and running the visitors front line was my mate Keiran Ginger Wells, who Ive know for years and always had a great banter but respect for, he is a lad who will just make you laugh.
Beeston had the first few chances as the game settled in to a rhytham in a dizzly rain conditions and I was joined by Michael Greaves who writes for The Football Traveller Magazine and his report will appear in this weeks copy, so will put on to the NSL Facebook site in midweek when it is published.
Aslockton pressed fprward and the odd late tackle was going in from both sides keeping ref Lewis busy but there was no arguments just two teams who wanted to play football on a bitter day, as my feet was telliing on my mobility scooter. Half time came and it was 0-0 but t looked as if goals would come in the second half.
On the hour that was to happen, when a cross from the right side, picked out MORGAN BELL who headed home from close range to give the homesters a 1-0 lead. Was the team of the month jinx about to pounce for the visitors.
Aslockton pushed forward but missed chance after chance and Beeston played on the break and forced the away keeper in to a couple of good saves.
On 81 minutes, Aslockton got back on level terms when AIDEN LOSCALZO got t he ball just outside the area and placed the ball into the far corner of the net.
With the clock ticking down and a fair draw on the board, Aslockton broke and the home keeper took the visiting attacker down in the area to give the opponents a late penalty to whom JACK ROBB stepped up to place home their winner with seconds left in the game.
Must give a mention to all 3 officials who I felt had a very good match
