EUROSOCCER NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SENIOR LEAGUE: DIVISION TWO
LANGWITH WHITESTAR 0 REINDEER FC 3
A strange day in meeting people ive not seen for a long time, plus a match where it rained then stopped and rained again.
I looked todays fixtures and nothing struck out apart from this local North Nottinghamshire, even could call it the Mansfield Derby, with Langwith just in the north boudry of Mansfield, whilst Reindeer to the south of the town centre, so I expected a battle.
On arrival, I soon got a cuppa and the match referee Ashley Bradley arrived who Id not seen for 5 or 6 years, with both line ups, it was to the far side of the pitch, where one of the home teams 17 year olds mum and gran sat and spoke to me.
The game kicked off and a passback to the home keeper saw him kick the ball in his penalty area to opposition striker ASHLEY McKAY for him to smash his team in to0 a third minute lead.
A chap then came and sat a few yards away and said he knew me and I knew him but couldnt remember where from, then as he mentioned AS Plant from the past, it was Levi Charles, a old friend of mine, who id not seen for years and he hadnt been very well of late, his 16 year old son Lincoln was playing his first ever game in adults football, having signed for Reindeer FC.
There was some good battles on the pitch and the game was being played at a dec ent pacew, but not much in the way of attacking play.
In tthe 43rd minute, a visiting corner came in to the near post, where PAUL JENKINSON turned and shot, with the ball ending up in the back of the net to make it 2-0 to the Reindeer.
Half Time came and the rain stopped, whilst I drank my flask of black tea and the players were soon back on the pitch ready to kick the second half off.
In the 52nd minute, Whitestar was punished as they pressed forward, by a long ball out of the Reindeers defence that found ASHLEY McKAY on the left wing, who cut in from a acute angle and scored after the ball struck the inside of the post.
As the game wore on, Reindeer FC'S keeper went down on 62 minutes and had treatment, but on 68 minutes, a winger went down and was treated and it was noticed that the Reindeer FC'S keeper was down as well in pain and he was helped off the pitch to be replaced.
All in all, none of the keepers really had a save to make during the game and for a local derby very few fouls in the game.
I felt the referee played the advantage qwell and was in the right positions when it mattered and had a very good match.
