RICHARDSON'S BRACE SECURES POINTS FOR THE REDS

 Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League Division Three

RAVENSHEAD REDS FC 3 EASTWOOD & KIMBERLEY FC 0


With Hazel away still up in Preston at her daughters,I caught the local bus in to Mansfield and then the pronto bus which drop me near to the Hutt pub, a walk with my stroller that takes 2 minutes in car took me over 30 minutes to reach the ground, as the sun shone down.

The game kicked off with both teams winning their opening matches on Saturday so a close game to watch I thought.

The First Half saw the visitors with much of the forward play and the better of the chances, whilst the Reds battled at the back to see the end of the first half at 0-0.

The Second Half kicked off and the Reds were on the front foot straight away and on 47 minutes LEIGHTON RICHRDSON cut in from the left side and slotted his team in to a 1-0 lead.

Eastwood & Kimberley kept coming forward but were met by stout defending or good saves from the home keeper.

As the game went in to the 2nd minute of injury time, a counter attack break by the homesters saw NICOLAS HINES net to double his teams advantage.

From the restart, the Reds regained the ball and LEIGHTON RICHARDSON made it 3-0. There was still time for them to rattle the post from a shot in the final seconds.

On another day the visitors could well have bagged five or six goals, so will be disappointed but will bounce back, as the result will give Ravenshead Reds a chance to push on.

Many thanks to Match Official Derek Spray for kindly giving me a lift home
