EUROSOCCER NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SENIOR LEAGUE: DIVISION THREE
TRENT VINEYARD FC 0 ROBIN HOOD COLTS FC 0
Well this game was my plan A, as Trent Vineyard usually play onpitch 2 of Chilwell Olympia but todays match was being played on pitch 1, also to set up a groundhop day for them in November where I will be doing their 1st ever programmer and metal badge, also to see newcomers to the league Robin Hood Colts who are hosting a groundhop day in April 2026.
All of a sudden, plan B came in to my view, with Stapleford Town Reserves winning the league's team of the month for August and it would be held at Stapleford's new look ground with a stand, floodlights and new changing rooms and a bar, but then the council made a mistake with the safety certificate and the game looked in doubt, but then could be played but with no spectators allowed to watch the game, so at 12.30pm I did the presentationa nd it was back to plan A.
I greeted both teams and the referee and got the teamsheets before going over to the halfway line on the far side of pitch 1.
It would be interesting how todays game would go, as last weekend both teams had suffered heavt defeats, so who was to bounce back the better, well none of them actually as they both cancelled each other out and at half time, both keepers coild well have been sat with me watching the game, where neither of thyem had made a save.
The Second Half seemed to have a bit more urgency with both teams having a go, but the odd wswhot being aimed at the keepers.
Towards the end, both sides had good chances to win the game, with the homesters keeper tipping over a shot as it was heading in, whilst up the other end, Vineyard thought they had scored, but the linesman said it hadnt crossed the line and it was cleared, he had a better view than from where I was sat on my mobility scooter, whilst in the final minute, the visiting captain found himself with the goal gasping for him to score and he mishit his shot to go wide.
A fair result in a game that will restore the confidence of both sides.
