SECOND HALF TURN ROUND EARNS APPLES THE POINTS

 Eurosoccer Nottinghamshire Senior League: Division Two

AFC COLSTERWORTH S & S 3 SHIREBROOK SOLDIERS 2 

 

A last gasp winner by the home side nicknamed the apples saw a hard fought game secure the points.

Before the match, all at the ground respectfully observed a minutes silence for Graham Saville who sadly lost his life whilst on duty att work, Graham was a coach at Ravenshead Reds FC Youth 

The First Half saw end to end action with both keeper in good form, but it was the visitors who took the lead on 25 minutes, when a Charlesworth saw the home keeper parry the ball out only for KIERAN DARBY to scoop home with his head close in.

Half time came and Colsterworth were straight on the attack and after 47 minutes, CONOR McGREGOR converted a penalty to even up the score.

This seemed to push the confidance in the homesters and they took the lead on 54 minutes when a long throw was touched and LIAM JAQUES volleyed home.


Just after the hour mark, the visitors saw red  as they were reduced to ten men, but they carried on pressing forward. On 75 minutes, they were level when BEN CHARLESWORTH drew them level through the spot.

The game began to get niggly as both sides were going for the win, but in to injury time, a ball played in to the visiting box found out LIAM JAQUES to squeeze home the winner.
