also victorious, 4-2 over Clifton. Cavs will be hoping that this start to 2009 will be a sign of things to come as they look to defend their title. In Division One, Sandhurst and Kimberley MW res played out a 5-4 classic. Kimberley bolstered their squad with first team strikers Danny Chaplin and Jake Fisher, who between them scored three goals, Sam Brennan adding the fourth. Sandhurst miraculously won the game however, despite the re-enforcements, a Cliff Clarke hat-trick, Mills and Somers goals helping Sandhurst claim a vital home win in their bid for promotion. Bulwell still lead the way, a huge 6-1 victory over struggling Bilborough Town, Duane Haywood scoring four of the goals with Knight and Bets adding the final two. Romeo Teixeira with the consolation goal for Town who still sit bottom. Gedling Southbank res were also victors this week, a Simon Rhodes brace contributing to their win at Boots res, as were Keyworth United res who beat rivals Wollaton. Tuckwell and Phoenix goals were enough to beat Wollaton, who had scored through top-scorer Anthony Fragola. Cotgrave res and Basford res were also both victorious, against Clifton res and Underwood Villa respectively. Matrixgrade and Greenwood Meadows couldn't be separated in a 2-2 draw. Finally in the only Division Two game Leaders Calverton Academy were held to a home draw by Hucknall Rolls res, Lancaster and Tennnat for the away side, depriving Calverton of another three points.

Gedling Southbank prevailed in a battle of the bottom two in the NSL senior division. They defeated Awsworth Villa 2-1 to leapfrog their opponents and in doing so ended their dreadful run which had seen them fall from 2nd, right down to the foot of the table. Shane Bragg and Tristan Rhodes were the scorers for Southbank, their first win in 11 games. Awsworth drop to bottom place, now two points adrift of Gedling and Attenborough who suffered another defeat at the hands of Magdala, Kearns, Wright and Curry on the scoresheet. Linby CW also ended a winless run with an impressive 2-1 away victory over Basford. Despite Kevin Walkers 11th goal of the season, Todd and Hatfield strikes gave Linby three points for the first time in four games, a run which had seen the departure of manager Kevin Corbett. Leaders Wollaton recovered from their loss to Hucknall Rolls last week with a win at Notts Police, Matt Turner amongst the goals, becoming the leagues leading scorer in the process. Hucknall continued their excellent form, a Chay Betteridge double helping them to their fifth win on the bounce, Chris Atkins with a consolation for Ruddington. Boots kept the pressure on Wollaton however, a comfortable 3-0 away win at Keyworth United, keeping the gap to just a point. Veteran Gareth Rees gave Boots the lead from the penalty spot before Greg Watnall doubled their advantage with his 2nd goal in as many games. Sam Winch rounded off the win with a late third giving Boots a fourth consecutive win. Caribbean Cavaliers were

The Cup Dream may be over but it has been a great experience for everyone connected with Eastwood Town Football Club. The league has always been the clubs priority so this cup run has come as a bonus. The big disappointment for the players was not being able to end their participation in front of a packed Stretford End, Kop End, or in the splendour of a Premiership ground, instead it was to end in less salubrious surroundings of the A-Line Stadium, Kettering. Paul Cox decided to recall Shane Redmond after his enforced return to Nottingham Forest and replace Anton Foster with Paul Robinson, however it was always going to be a big ask for the tall centre half to replace arguably the best midfielder in the UniBond Premier. Eastwood kicked off playing towards their biggest away following in their history. In the third minute, Geohaghon blasted well over the top from the edge of the box, and Westcarr headed over in the early exchanges. Eastwood's first shot came after Ian Holmes laid the ball off to Todd who volleyed well wide of the left-hand upright. Man of the match Mark Hume produced a well-timed tackle in a one-on-one with Kettering's leading goalscorer Gareth Seddon and Geohaghon had to be alert as Lindon Meikle found some space. Although Kettering were enjoying the majority of the play, the Badgers were comfortable in defence restricting the Poppies to long range shots. All that changed in the 24th minute when Kettering scored from their first shot on target. New loan signing Richard Graham beat Alistair Asher and sent a teasing cross to the far post which was met by ex-forest player Craig Westcarr on the half-volley which beat Redmond for power. Lee Harper was well positioned to take Asher's high cross and at the other end, Redmond got down well to push Seddon's low drive to safety. Eastwood had a good penalty appeal waved away after Ross Gardner's cross struck Jaszczun on the arm. For a big defender Guy Branston hit the deck very quickly with the slightest challenge. Sadly for the Badgers fans, experienced referee Mr East brought every one, giving a string of fouls against the Eastwood players. Westcarr volleyed wide after a Jazsczun cross was only half cleared. The Badgers should have made more of a Branston slip, but Jazsczun cleared Gardner's cross-come-shot. Seddon thought he had scored Kettering's second from close range after a through ball from Graham, only to see that the official's flag had been raised for offside. Eastwood started the second half looking more energetic, however Kettering were still enjoying the majority of the possession. Marc Hume and defensive partner Simon Sturdy were still restricting Kettering to long range shots

whilst dominating everything that was in the air. Gareth Seddon tried his luck from distance but was wide of the mark. The game was decided by two refereeing decisions around the hour mark. The referee may well have been the wrong side to witness Andre Boucaud arms wrapped around Paul Robinson as he dispossessed the Badger midfielder, but the linesman was well placed but didn't raise his flag. Boucaud fed Richard Graham who neatly played a ball on to Gareth Seddon. who placed the ball into the far bottom corner. Had the challenge been the other way around I suspect the flag & whistle would have been used rather quickly. Eastwood did manage to peg Kettering back to 2-1moments later. Richard Dunning swung in a deep free kick right into the danger area. The Poppies defence couldn't clear the ball, and Paul Robinson was on hand to drive the ball into the turf and looping over Lee Harper in the Kettering goal. The goal certainly brought Eastwood back into the game. Just moments later, Richard Dunning fed Andy Todd in the box and as the midfielder set himself to shoot, he was sandwiched between two Kettering players, hitting the deck but with the Eastwood bench appealing for a penalty, the referee waved play on. Branston was again pole-axed by a feather as the Badgers threatened, leading to him having to leave the pitch for a second time. Paul Cox switched to 3-4-3 and started to pepper the Kettering defence with long balls looking for the height of Matt Rhead and Peter Knox. On the break Gareth Seddon had a late chance to put the tie to bed after Richard Dunning gifted the ball to Richard Graham, who played in Seddon. However Redmond, made a great save diving to his left to hold the ball with Westcarr lurking. Gamesmanship again reared it's ugly head as Christie feigned a bullet through the head in an attempt to get a penalty, leading to an altercation with Hume, resulting in the referee booking both players. Eastwood continued to press and pressurise Kettering, and almost equalised in the dying seconds when Simon Sturdy got a touch to Shane Redmond's long free kick into the heart of the Kettering box, the ball striking the right hand post and bouncing to safety. The final chance for the Badgers to rescue the game came when Dunning lifted the ball deep into the Kettering penalty area. Branston managed to get his head to the ball but Harper grasped it before it crossed the line denying the Badgers a perverse sense of justice for all the timewasting, correction-Gamesmanship. So the cup run is over for another year, and the way the Kettering fans celebrated was indicative to the eventual winners of the cup. For all their supporters bravado on the forums, it really was their cup-final. The Eastwood management were disappointed with the way the lads played, Kettering certainly weren't as good as Wycombe or Wrexham, but the players have been magnificent, over the course of the nine cup games. History has been made and the memories of the two Wrexham games, the Wycombe and Harrogate away game will live long for those that were there.

their heads pound, and the mass of bodies writhes and squirms from left to right. It is pandemonium. And why not? Nathan Tyson has his merits, but he doesn't do that. Not ever. Goal number two was perfectly timed and gratefully received by the same explosive celebrations. The travelling fans sung throughout half time. The City crowd was a dour spread of scornful faces and vulgar gestures. The home side huffed and puffed in the second half, but Paul Smith – brushing aside fears about his confidence – was equal to everything. Dietmar Haman's bizarre throw in teed up substitute Joe Garner to seal the victory in style. The post game celebrations will not be forgotten in a hurry, and regardless of the unimportance of the FA Cup compared with survival there is no doubting the importance of the result for morale. The Derby County connection means Billy Davies will have to work to endear himself at the City Ground. But if his games are even half as entertaining as Pemberton's two have been, it won't be long before Davies is truly a red. Match Ratings: Smith – 9 – several excellent saves and steady throughout. Chambers – 7.5 – undoubtedly his best display of the season; sensible, careful and solid. Breckin – 7.5 – a fine game; simple and efficient. Morgan – 8 – assured, confident and as solid as a mountain. Cohen – 10 – our best attacker, our best defender, our past passer and our best tackler. On the strength of this display, the Sheikh will be opening his cheque book for Chris Cohen and not Kaka. Anderson – 8 – caused endless mischief on the break. Perch – 7 – subbed early on through injury. McGugan – 9.5 – he was Premiership standard. Thornhill – 8 – after spending the early stages of the game in the wilderness he recovered to deliver the simple, composed passing that would seal victory. Tyson – 8.5 – a screamer of a goal, and he had the legs to keep City defenders on their toes throughout. Earnshaw – 8.5 – one of his best displays in a red shirt, despite being marked by the imperious Micah Richards. Subs: Wilson – 7.5, Davies – 7.5, Garner – 9.

Report by Alex Campbell

It's hard to catch breath for Forest fans at the moment. In just eight days Forest have been crushed at home by a relegation rival; climbed out of the relegation zone; sacked a manager and appointed a new one; and found time to win twice on the road – routing the world's richest club as part of the bargain. New man Billy Davies was a keen spectator at the City of Manchester Stadium, and he could be forgiven for wondering how Forest have ended up in any trouble at all. It was a bright start for the home side, but City's frustration festered and multiplied as Forest consistently stubbed out their advances. By the time Shaun Wright-Phillips was subbed passes were going wildly astray and gloved fingers were wagging across the pitch. A Forest side as industrious as any I have ever seen flung themselves at the mercy of every shot, wrestled for every second ball and played with a vibrant pluck worthy of victory in any game. Tyson's strike was greeted with special occasion celebrations. The kind where one is inclined to jump into the arms of bearded men that others usually cross streets to avoid. The noise levels explode, fans scream until their lungs deflate and

Kimberley Town welcomed in the New Year with their first win of the season, the Buckingham Insurance Supreme Division bottom club, won 3-2 at 'The Stag' Ground against Lincolnshire visitors, Nettleham. George Easom was the Kimberley 'star' getting the winner with nine minutes remaining; it was Easom's second goal of the game, Clarence Mandinod scoring the other Kimberley goal. Darren Elding and Chris Funnell scored for Nettleham. Kimberley remain rooted at the bottom of the table, two points adrift of Harrowby United, but 'The Stags' have four games in hand. Harworth Colliery Institute regained the leadership of the division, despite being behind twice behind, the North Nottinghamshire club hit back to record a 4-2 victory. Lee Danish, Tom Cook and two goals by 'ace' striker Ryan Paczkowski the Harworth scorers. Kirk Frost netted both the Hatfield goals. Previous leaders Calverton Miners Welfare had to be content with a 2-2 draw at Southwell City. In a tense and exciting game Danny Prance scored the equaliser for the home team, after Craig Boulton had netted twice for Calverton. Ben Porter was the other Southwell marksman. Third placed Sutton Town AFC and Ollerton Town, who are fourth, also shared the points at “The Fieldings”. It looked as if a Ricky Chambers goal would be good enough to take all three points for the visitors but with a minute left Steve Bayliss levelled for the home team. Forest Town moved up to fifth place, a first half goal converted by Craig Jackson, ensured the points for the Mansfield area club against visitors, Pinxton. Radcliffe Olympic, drop to sixth, their match at Harrowby United was called off due to a frozen pitch. Newark Town continue to impress, they got their New Year under way, with a cracking 5-0 home win over Yorkshire Main. Simon Ellison hit a brace, brother Mark Ellison also got on the score sheet, Lewis Cree and Sam Wilford adding the other goals. A welcome point for Rolls Royce Leisure, a goal down at half time, at home to Kinsley Boys, who scored through Lee Radford. Rolls hit back in the second half and fully deserved the equaliser, scored by Wayne Bennett, in the 79th minute. Westella and Willerby continue to hold on to the leadership of the Black Dragon Premier Division, the East Riding club won 2-0 at home against Kirkby Town, both goals where scored in the first half by Dan Boneham. Second placed Louth Town, where back in league action for the first time in a month, and they looked a little rusty against visitors to Park Avenue, Thoresby Colliery Welfare. After a goalless first half, Thoresby took the lead immediately after half time through Danny Ashleigh, but normal service was resumed by the home team, who retained their 100% record, going on to win 3-1 with goals by Jordan Walden, Mark Allen and Jamie Rowbotham. Parramore Sports, who are in third place, also kept their undefeated record, in a close encounter with Phoenix Sports and Social, visitors Parramore came out on top 2- Reports continued over page

HIS FIRST TIMEA girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night to meet, and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend that after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for the first time. The boy is ecstatic, but as he has never done the deed before, he takes a trip to the pharmacist to get some condoms. He tells the pharmacist it's his first time and the pharmacist helps the boy for about an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and the birds and the bees. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all. That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. 'Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents, come on in!' The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated. The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down. 10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, 'I had no idea you were this religious.' The boy turns, and whispers back, 'I had no idea your father was a pharmacist.' - Send your jokes to [email protected]

Graham St Prims brought their three-month winless run to an end as they claimed an impressive 2-1 victory over Heanor Town. Leigh Grant's side have slipped down the table since last picking up three points at the start of October. But they may have turned the corner with this display, a goal in each half from new signing Ben Roffey

wrapping up the win. Matt Timson scored for Heanor but it wasn't enough to stop the Prims. Leaders Borrowash Vics saw their match at Holbrook MW brought to a premature end when it was abandoned at half-time following a break-in at the Shaw Lane clubhouse. That gave Dunkirk the chance to close the gap at the top but they suffered a surprise 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Gedling MW, Marvin Hudson's double and a Ben Middleton strike wrapping up the points. Aaron Large bagged a hat-trick as Gedling Town beat Blackwell MW 4-0, Simon Hore netting the other, while goals from Nick Pollard and Steve Turner wrapped up Hinckley Downes' 2-0 defeat of Ellistown. St Andrews saw off Ibstock United 3-1 thanks to goals from Carl Robinson (two) and Ashley Warner. Danny Stevenson replied for the visitors. The remaining games were postponed due to frozen pitches.

turned the game round and the visitors took the points with a 2-1 victory. Damien Miller scored the Bulwell goal. Bentley Colliery where level at half time at Thorne Colliery, but they took control after the interval, to win 3-1. Gregg Thomas scored for Thorne. Matthew Devine (2) and Wayne Morling scored the Bentley goals. Another disappointing defeat for bottom club, Welbeck Welfare, after going in 2-1 down to Kiveton Park they had the chance to equalise but missed a penalty, seemingly their heads dropped and the visitors went on to record a 7-1 win. Robert Gorman hit four, Marc Buxton, Daniel Harrison and Joseph Bass the Kiveton sharp shooters. Mark Smith on target for Welbeck. Carlton Town Reserves continue to lead the way, in the Abacus Lighting Reserves Supreme Division, they took apart Shirebrook Town Reserves at Stoke Lane, winning 7-1.

The 'Young Lions' are six points adrift of Carlton with one game in hand. Third placed Blidworth Welfare Reserves, won 3-2 at home, against Mickleover Sports Reserves. It was a good start for the New Year for Blidworth's Danny Gee who score all his sides goals. Josh Lowe and Scott McKenzie scored for Sports. A shock defeat for fourth placed Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves they lost to bottom team, Radford Reserves 3-2 at Selhurst Street. It was 2-2 at half time, Radford's Phil Smith scoring the winner with ten minutes remaining. Miles Gorey hit both the other goals for Radford. Lee Johnson and Danny Brown netting the Staveley goals.

Church Warsop Miners Welfare Reserves and Newark Town Reserves shared four goals, Liam Dennett and Lee Bonsall for Warsop. Martin Spindley and Chris Self for Newark.

impressive Powell again caused havoc and one shot rebounded off the post and Ilkeston managed to scrambled the ball away. On 73 minutes the home sides nerves were calmed when Duncum broke again down the left and made an intelligent pass to Ben Pringle who fired the ball home from ten yards out. Within seconds Ilkeston were 3-0 up when Cahill swap passes with substitute and then slotted the ball past Walker in the Sheffield goal. The goal effectively killed the game off and the Robins ran out comfortable winners.

Arnold Town 1 Eccleshill United 0Arnold moved up to third in the table courtesy of a narrow victory over the club rooted to the bottom of the table in a 'home' game played at Sandy Lane in Worksop. Arnold failed to get into their stride against a side who had conceded a staggering 87 goals in their previous 19 league games. The key moment came with ten minutes remaining – Arnold won a disputed corner – Brookes floated the corner to the far post where Carruthers headed home his seventh goal in his last four games. To their credit the visitors performed well above their league position creating a number of goal scoring opportunities. Arnold were fortunate that Eccleshill's finishing did not match their approach play with Gorman and Dibbs both failing to hit the target. Arnolds goal attempts were rare – with Halligen untested until Freestone's 57th minute shot. The Eagles had chances to score with Mitchell firing over at the far post and Freestone heading wide. Manager Andy Muldoon was thankful to pick up three points in a game in which his side were well below par. Arnold Town: Broster, Thornton, Jephson, Clarke, Soar, Adams, Mitchell (Dyce, 65), Hall, Freestone, Carruthers, Brookes, Subs not used: Muldoon, Branson

Hemsworth Miners Welfare 1Staveley MWFC 1Staveley fielded an unchanged side and came into the game on a 5-game unbeaten run with Hemsworth also on an unbeaten 5-game run so a tight game was expected. Staveley had the first opportunity after Ryan Damms slid the ball into the path of Alex Barnes whose shot was well saved by the Hemsworth keeper. Hemsworth then threatened but Martin Kearney got down well to save low to his left. Hemsworth had loud appeals for a penalty turned won as the game was changing from end to end. Staveley then applied the pressure with Lee Gregory's pace causing the home side plenty of concerns and appeals for handball in the penalty area were waved away by the referee as the game approached half time as the sides went in 0-0. The Hemsworth leading goal scorer Damian Liddle was being well shackled by Andy Brownrigg and Judd Colley and his frustration over

and being cup tied respectively. Both teams started brightly with chances being created in both penalty areas. Tom Cahill and Jon Douglas all had chances and Douglas actually put the ball in the back of the net only for the assistant referee ruled it out for offside. At the other end Vill Powell was proving to be a handful and Chris Adamson was required to make a number of excellent saves to keep the Robins in the game. After the interval Ilkeston pressed Sheffield back into their own half and took the lead after 48 minutes when Sam Duncum's shot was b locked by Cah i l l . Cah i l l recovered quickly, turned and crashed the ball in to the net from six yards out. The visitors responded well and the

spilled when he threw an attempted punch at Andy Brownrigg and was duly shown the red card. Hemsworth were battling well down to 10-men as Darren Bland changed his formation to a 3-5-2 as Hemsworth went with one up front. Staveley were pushing on but the final pass was all too often going astray and were unable to penetrate the home defence. Lee Gregory was causing all sorts of problems and the home defence looked nervous every time they were run at and one such run went narrowly close. It looked like both teams had been solid at the back and that the deadlock was not going to be broken but after a Staveley corner caused havoc in the Hemsworth penalty area Danny Robinson's drive was stopped on the goal line but the rebound was smashed home by Ryan Damms in the 78th minute. Hemsworth came back strongly and the danger was coming down the left and a 84th minute right wing cross was headed goal bound by Andy Davies whose effort clipped the legs of Andy Brownrigg with Martin Kearny having it covered the deflection went over the goal line to give Hemsworth back into the game. Staveley then could have won it when Callum Flanagan's cross was met superbly by Lee Gregory whose header went inches wide. A share of the spoils at 1-1 was probably a fair result and both sides taking a point. Darren Bland said afterwards “We feel disappointed having got ourselves in front to be pegged back to 1-1. We knew it would be tough against a strong physical side who play as a team. They are well organised and difficult to play against. Perhaps we may have tried to shut the game down having gone 1-0 up but a point keeps the unbeaten stretch going and that's 12-points from the last 6-games so all in all we're doing OK.”

Forest Town 1Pinxton 0 Pinxton were denied a share of the spoils by a hotly disputed penalty in a bitterly cold & dark local derby at local rivals Forest Town. A brilliant man of the match performance by Joey McCormack was only dented from the spot on 27 minutes by Craig Jackson's sixth league goal after Jamie Renshaw was harshly judged to have handled with his back to the ball 18 yards from goal. The decision certainly added spice to a game that had started brightly with early chances at either end but it required an acrobatic save by McCormack on 40 minutes to keep the visitors within reach at the interval. Indeed they were very nearly on level terms nine minutes after the break when a spectacular 30 yard drive from Kenny Shinfield flew marginally over the bar with the keeper beaten. However from then on it increasingly became the Joey McCormack show as he single handily denied wave after wave of home pressure bravely saving at the feet of both Dominic Elliott and James McCann and then somehow turning a blistering Jackson drive away to safety. This amazing one man show almost bore fruit when in the 92nd minute Renshaw's revenge was only denied by a last gasp tackle with the ball falling to the Aaron Gordon who almost crowned an impressive debut firing just wide from 25 yards.

Newark Town 5Yorkshire Main 0Newark Town claimed a comprehensive 5-0 victory against Yorkshire Main, to stretch their run of successive wins to 7. Town stepped up a gear in the second half, punishing their often indisciplined visitors with four quality goals in the second period. Town started the match the stronger, and had early opportunities through Louis Cree, and Sam Wilford, whose shot from 25 yards brought a good save from Scully in the Yorkshire Main goal. The Blues continued to get themselves in good positions, only a fine interception by Atkinson preventing Simon from Ellison getting his shot away. Yorkshire Main had their moments as well, with Gareth Sides forcing Riley to make a brave dive at his feet on 19 minutes, the Newark keeper injuring himself in the process. However, most of Yorkshire Mains attacks were halted by the linesman's flag, as the forwards frequently found themselves in offside positions. Louis Cree had another opening to open the scoring, after hitting his initial shot against the keeper, the ball bounced back to him, only

to see his second shot cleared off the line to deny Newark the lead. Town did get their deserved goal on 34 minutes, when a poor header back to the keeper fell straight into the path of Simon Ellison, who stabbed the ball in on the second attempt. The keeper will feel disappointed he didn't do more to impose himself on the Newark forward. Town didn't manage to create many more opportunities in the first half, with a shot just over the bar by Gareth Sides the closest Yorkshire Main came to an equaliser on 39 minutes. Yorkshire Main started the second half brighter, and had a glorious chance to level the matters just moments into the second half, when a cross fell kindly for Karl Sides, who blazed his shot over the bar from just 6 yards out. After weathering the early storm, the game grew into more of a midfield battle for a spell, with neither side creating clear cut chances. The introduction of David Issott and Jack Beckett on 57 minutes gave Newark a fresh impetus, which they exploited almost immediately. Issott, playing an inch perfect cross field ball to Sam Wilford who drilled the ball past the despairing dive of the keeper to make the score 2-0. 5 minutes later a free kick on the left from Issot was flicked home by Mark Ellison to increase Towns advantage. Town went 4-0 up on 71 minutes to completely demoralise Yorkshire Main, as Simon Ellison's cross was expertly turned in by Louis Cree. The only black mark was a triple sending off ten minutes from the end, Louis Cree of Newark and Fennell and Karl Sides of Yorkshire Main seeing red following an altercation in the far corner. Newark used their man advantage well, and bagged themselves a fifth goal on 85 minutes, Mark Ellison finding brother Simon in the area, giving him an easy finish. After the match Blues manager Rupert Thomas said “I felt that in the first half we tried too hard to make every ball a killer ball. Having a strong subs bench makes a lot of difference and demonstrates that we have strength in depth.”

Southwell City 2 Calverton MW 2Southwell City were made to work very hard to earn a point against visitors Calverton at the Memorial Ground last Saturday. Calverton justified their top of the league position prior to the match and their serious title contention with a convincing display, particularly in the third quarter of the game. The spectators were treated to a tense, pulsating and exciting game with the young City defence showing great character and determination enhanced by a fine goal keeping display from Darren Sharpe in the City goal. From the start Calverton showed their intention of playing for all three points and Jason Westwood soon began to control the mid-field sending through balls to his forwards Craig Boulton and Warren Hatfield. The City defence of Jack Hudson, George Paling, Danny Prance and Nick Morgan responded well with the support of mid-fielder Michael Love adding extra cover when required. Calverton launched attack after attack but City looked dangerous on the break and as the game settled down City began to create chances particularly with the speed of Ally Haynes on one flank and Tom McDonald on the other with Ben Porter making runs from mid-field. It was Calverton who opened up the scoring on the half hour mark with a fine goal from Craig Boulton. Following another through ball from Westwood and some good work on the right Boulton found himself un-marked and he took the ball across the City area and with a fine left foot shot found the corner of the City net. Calverton could easily have been two up moments later but Daren Sharpe brought off a fantastic save to deny Warren Hatfield from close range. City continued to press and seven minutes later were awarded a free kick ten yards into the Calverton half. Danny Prance's fierce shot was too hot to handle for Calverton keeper Scott Miles and he spilled the ball. The first to react was Ben Porter who followed up well and slotted home the re-bound to level the scores. Calverton started the second half with a new determination and they attacked the City goal relentlessly as the ball rarely went over the half way line for the first twenty minutes. Warren Hatfield had a good chance to restore Calverton's lead but his shot went wide. After fifteen minutes the City defence eventually cracked when they failed to clear the ball from a Calverton corner and Craig Boulton scored his second with a superb left foot volley into the top corner giving Darren Sharpe no chance. Five minutes later and Darren Sharpe was called upon again as he made the save of the match. With Calverton looking to put the game beyond City a fine passing move resulted in Calverton's Barry Payne receiving the ball 12 yards from the City goal, his shot seemed certain to extend

his sides lead but Darren Sharpe made a brilliant save to the relief of the City players. Calverton replaced the injure Westwood with Chris Papp in midfield but City's midfield pair of Adam Meakin and Daniel Harding were now having a greater influence on the proceedings. City also replaced Tom McDonald with City boss Mark Nangle who was able to hold the ball up well giving time to the advancing City mid-field. With fifteen minutes to go City put together a fine move involving Ben Porter, Adam Meakin and George Paling and the cross was met by Nangle whose shot from 8 yards forced a good save from Miles in the Calverton net but he only succeeded in putting the ball round the post for a corner. Ally Haynes sent in a ball to the near post which was contested by Calverton's Scott Miles and City's Mark Nangle and Danny Prance. It was Prance however who got the vital header to earn the City equaliser. The remaining fifteen minutes were just as entertaining and the crowd were pleased that referee Andy Wood was able to find nearly five minutes of added time to give full value for the entrance fee.Southwell City: Darren Sharpe, George Paling, Nick Morgan (Kyle Crofts), Michael Love, Jack Hudson, Daniel Harding, Ben Porter, Adam Meakin, Tom McDonald (Mark Nangle), Daniel Prance, Ally Haynes.Sub not used: Jonny NusseyCalverton MW: Scott Miles, Chris Hall, Jonathon Dakers, Corey Nightingale, Ryan Marsh, Simon Gould, Jason Westwood (Chris Papp), Barry Payne, Craig Boulton, Warren Hatfield, Lewis Capewell.

doors in the third. Johan Molin and Ityorumun Ndur both missed the game through injury but the players turned in an excellent hard-working performance that had the big crowd purring long before the end of a game with a near-perfect script. Corey Neilson, coach of the GMB Nottingham Panthers praised his troops but has also urged them to start concentrating on what is a tricky trip Sunday to Manchester, who lost on Saturday to Belfast (3-1) while leaders Sheffield needed overtime to beat bottom of the table and depleted Hull (4-3) to maintain their five point lead. The other game saw Cardiff win at Basingstoke (2-4).

Panthers thank their fans over Festive PeriodThe GMB Nottingham Panthers have thanked their ever growing army of supporters for their tremendous backing across the festive period. Saturday's five thousand plus crowd for the visit of bitter-rivals Coventry takes their gate figure for three home games starting on Christmas Saturday to over 16,000. "The crowd's have been fantastic, the team have been really entertaining and in difficult times I guess we're helping people keep things in perspective, helping people escape from the recession and giving everyone something to shout about. We can only thank the fans for their fabulous support, they are the best and they prove it night after night after night!"

Nottingham Panthers 4Coventry Blaze 1GMB Panthers beat big rivals Coventry in front of big crowd on Saturday. A solid all-round team performance saw Nottingham shrug off the absence of two imports to beat rivals Coventry 4-1. Matthew Myers pounced on a rebound in the first period during a powerplay in the seventh minute to open the scoring only for Weaver to rifle home an equaliser off the left wing. But Jade Galbraith's sweetest of powerplay conversions in the second put us back in front and then Dan Tessier celebrated his thirtieth birthday in style with a long range short-handed strike at the end of the period and another smartly taken goal early

The latest news from the Green & WhitesUnfortunately, the game against Sedgley Park, scheduled for Sunday, was cancelled due to a frozen pitch. The game will be rearranged for a free weekend before the end of April. Nottingham also have a game against Coventry to rearrange before the end of the season.

The EDF Energy National Trophy round 4 fixture, between Nottingham Rugby and Blaydon, will be played on Saturday 17th of January at Lady Bay, the training headquarters, kick off 2pm on Pitch 1. John Dainton, Matchday Operations manager, has worked fantastically hard and Nottingham Rugby are pleased to announce that the game will be played at Lady Bay, the home of Nottingham Boots Corsairs and the training headquarters for Nottingham Rugby. Director of Rugby, Glenn Delaney, is looking forward to returning to The Bay after a very successful pre season friendly against Northampton Saints in August. "I am really pleased that we have been able to get the game on at Lady Bay. Blaydon asked specifically for a Saturday fixture due to the working obligations of some of their squad and John Dainton has worked hard with the local authorities and the police to make sure it could go ahead. This has been a longer process than expected due to the fact that Nottingham Forest are playing at home and we haven't staged a

surface, one of the best outs ide of Meadow Lane and I know the players will feel comfortable playing at The Bay. We are focussed on having a good cup run and we want to make sure that everything is in place to make that possible. I hope that we will have a good crowd down at The Bay on the 17th to reward all the hard work that John and h i s t e a m o f volunteers have put it in." Tickets for the E D F E n e r g y Nat ional Trophy fixture will be priced at £10 adult, £5 concession and £1 children.

Player Profile

Best footballing moment: Scoring 7 past Beeston Utd last season after a all dayer / nighter on the Saturday night before with some of the lads!Funniest footballing moment: Knocking myself out by running into the goal post. Got to admit it was probably funnier for the lads watching than it was for me, but it could of been worse. Look what happened to Phil Babb. Ouch! Worst footballing moment: Doing my cruciate and medial ligaments playing recently. I have been told I will be out for a while, but I’ll be fitting fit in no time.Best trainer: It’s got to be stef at Trident always taking it seriously when others are messing about on and off the pitch. Worst trainer: Ryan "never here" Bingham, never turns up for training and it shows on the pitch as he's always out of breath the fat git, not really love you RyanWorst haircut: Jason Sanders at Munich 79, when he had his daft pink mohicanTeam jokers: Got to be Jay Jay and myself, as we always like to start a sunday morning ripping into Mikey and WayneWorst dressed players: Again got to be Jason Sanders, turning up in flower shorts flip flops his Chelsea top and daft hats and glasses from flares the night before. Biggest moaner: Mikey Asher - Always moaning on and off the field obviously not a ref's best friendBest player you have played with: Luke Pickard at Trident he's a strong central midfielder who wins everything in the middle of the parkToughest opponent: Mark Buckley with Blacks Head, an outstanding midfielder who can control a gameBest team played against: Blacks Head. Really good set of lads, quality shows as they are still undefeated in the Combination league last season and this season

Name: Robert EnglandNickname: BobbyTeam: Munich 79 / Trident F.CAge: 22Job: Senior Chef de PartiePosition: StrikerPrevious clubs: Basford Utd, S.H.R, The MillSupports: Nottingham ForestFootballing hero: Marco Van Basten. He’s got to the all time greatest striker and probably will be for years to come.Biggest Influence: I’ve not had one yet, but I always like my Pro-plus and vodka red bulls before the game... Anyone would think I was Adriano!

Balls around the World!Punts Christmas is ruined by Wenger and Zat Spare a thought for one punter who placed a £10 accumulator on Boxing day and watched all the 13 of the 14 matches fall-in, only to be let down by Arsene Wenger and his team of imports after drawing with Villa 2-2. Zat Knight levelled the scores with seconds to spare on the clock, costing the fan a shocking £795,000! Ouch!

Gerrard brightens-up jokers ChristmasSteven Gerrard’s exploits after Liverpool’s 5-1 win over Newcastle has brought-out all the jokers surrounding the midfielder - here are some of the better ones: (1)“Rafa Benitez has launched a shock bid for Joey Barton. Apparently, he wants a like-for-like inside attacking midfielder should Gerrard get sent down”. (2) See pic. Also see studs-up.com for a great sketch!

Ronaldo gets Corinthians worriedOne time world-cup winner and super star Ronaldo (the fat one), is starting to worry fans and coaches at Corinthians in Brazil after finishing last (out of 28) in their fitness tests! The big striker has been partying and eating for the past 5 years, so what’s the surprise.
