EUROSOCCER NOTTINGHAMSHIRE LEAGUE: DIVISION THREE
TRENT VINEYARD FC 1 -3 NOTTS CITY RANGERS
Att: 41 headcount
Not having seen much of the match, as we set the programme and badge stall under cover where pitch 2 was round several corners to find, I thought I would ask Hull based Groundhopper Dave Philipson to write about his day, so Id like to thank him and he has added a few photos on Facebook as well.
I will of course take back over the blog at the end of how much we raised and a running total for Sam's Workplace and if you would like to make a donation to the Charity Blog.
Trent Vineyard 1-3 Notts City Rangers, Nottinghamshire Senior League Division Three, Chilwell Olympia Sports Centre Pitch no 2, Bye Pass Road, Beeston, Nottinghamshire, 22/11/2025. Admission free, programme £2, metal badges (for both clubs) £4 each, 2025-26 match no 35, ground no 1,811.
The latest of Rob Hornby's excellent NSL Groundhop Days took place today, this time at Division Three side Trent Vineyard. On a damp, drizzly day, the trip didn't get off to the best of starts, with the train from Hull setting off 20 minutes late, meaning I missed my original connection in Sheffield. Changing at Sheffield and Derby, I arrived in Beeston around fifty minutes late, but still with enough time tto wandwr round Beeston, beforre making my way to the ground. The ground is part of the Chilwell Olympia Sports Centre, situated behind Chilwell School, and consists of around five football pitches. This game took place on pitch no 2, and was roped off on the far side, with hedges behind, whilst the rest was just grass standing. The game was very competitive, with both sides having chances on what was a fairly heavy pitch. It was the visitors who broke the deadlock after 25 minutes, with a fine headed goal from Connaire Seery. They doubled their lead in the 65th minute through Luke Hallam, before Trent Vineyard pulled a goal back with Samuel Ageyi scoring. However, the visitors made sure of all three points in the 75th minute , when substitute Ryan Robinson scored to give the viditors a 3-1 victory. An excellent day out, despite the weather, and thanks must go to my friend Rob Hornby for yet another well organised Groundhop Day.
The next Groundhop Day will be in a while due to my daughter having a baby around March time, so it will be next season no doubt before I choose a club to have their first ever programme and badge done.
With inks and paper taken out, the charity raised in total £81 but the running total for Sam's Workplace stands at a giant £3,187.32p, so can we hot the next target of £3,200 not too far away.
