Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League Intermediate Cup Final
STAPLEFORD TOWN RESERVES 1 KIMBERLEY MW RESERVES 0
Att: 240
Played at The Stag Ground, Kimberley
Played in baking sunshine on possibly the hottest day of the year, a young Kimberley Miners Welfare team took on Stapleford Town Reserves in front of a crowd of 240 plus a lot of kids in attendance.
Was greeted on arrival by Danny Staley who Ive known since he used to go to the Stag Ground as a small kid and was soon armed with a cuppa.
On to the players gate and with both squads inside the ground, it was time to meet the match officials and with both line ups, it was soon on to the pitch to announce them.
The First Half, I took up in the seated stand around the half way line, whilst Hazel went round selling the charity raffle tickets.
The First Half saw both teams block each other out, but it was the Miners who had the best chances in the final few minutes of the half, when striking the crossbar and also the Stapleford keeper blocking a few shots.
The Second Half saw the Saxons pressing more forward as I walked to the far corner of the ground and had a chat with a local chap and on the hour, the Miners were reduced down to ten players, it wasa incident that I cant say I saw, Infact I didnt notice they were down to ten men until someone mentioned it later in the game.
Into extra time and Town were first out the blocks with a ball bobbling around the penalty area before HARRIS MAQSOOD fired home in the 93rd minute to give his side the lead.
Both teams pushed but to no avail and after Town;s 1st team had won the Premier League Championship and the County Cup Trophy, the Reserves added their name in to some silverware.
Before the presentations, was a very special one from the Nottinghamshire Senior League to John Beeston who was Secretary for the final time of Kimberley MW FC this afternoon and was heavily involved in the set up of the Nottinghamshire Senior League, as well as being in local non league football scene for many years.
