CHARITY SUCCESS AT NOTTS SENOR LEAGUE CUP FINALS

 Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League Cup Finals @ Hucknall Town


Over the last two weeks, The Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League held its 4 League Cup Finals at Hucknall Town FC, it began last Saturday morning with the Development  League Cup where second played third, Attenborough FC v AFC Warriors in a very entertaining match ending in a 3-2 victory for Attenborough. In the afternoon, it was the turn of the Intermediate Cup Final where 2nd Division FC Pelican played Hucknall Town Reserves and for the first 20 minutes, looked the better side creating more chances in front of goal, but Hucknall settled down and once they scored they looked to control the game running out 4-1 winners.

On to day and the First game had everything in it, it was the turn of the Intermediate League Cup where newcomers to the League AFC Parabellum faced Collingham Reserves, the match flowed end to end with only seconds remaining in the game and the Paras 2-1 in front saw a Collingham corner which they failed to deal with andf a equaliser was smashed home, to send the final in to extra time, Parabellum had played most of the second half with 10 men. In to extra time and 2 goals in a matter of 4 minutes saw Collingham go in to a 4-2 lead, but Parabellum pressed forward and got back in the tie wie a goal. As the clock was ticking down, a final chance came for them and the Collingham keeper leaning back just managed to tip the ball over the crossbar to save his side going in to a penalty shoot out and lift the cup.

The main final was the Senior League Cup, where 3rd placed Aslockton & Orston who have had their best ever season in their history faced title winners FCV Grace Dieu, a team that had only been defeated twice all season and oddly it was only last wek in the leaague that Aslockton beat them 1-0.

The game started at a fast pace as the FCV players was playing the ball along the floor and soon found themselves 2-0 up. A half time talk by Martin Hallam must have shaken his Aslockton side up as they looked the better side in the second half and pulled a goal back. A few minuts later they always say there are turning points in a game and as the Aslockton attacker broke through on the left, his shot was stopped by the legs of the FCV Grace keeper before being cleared up field  for ma quick break and hooked in to the net to restore their two goal custon and complete the League and Cup double.

Over the 4 finals, Hazel raised £553.45p for the charity Blog in aid of Autism Awareness, also a donation has come in from Sheffield FC's Stephen Muff of £150 and today 81 year old Graham Moseley pictured above with me has been a regular of my blog each season also raising 25p mper goal and presented me with £50, which  taqkes the Charity Blogs running total to a AMAZING £1,204.03p. Me and Hazel would like all people that purchase Raffle Tickets and donate the odd pound here and there.

Well you would think football finishes here, but on SATURDAY 14th JUNE at Basford United FC we have our Charity Football Fun Day, with at 11am Basford Reserves entertaining a NSL Select Under 23's squad, then at 2pm a NSL Squad entertaining Edwalton FC.
