DON’T GET LEFT IN THE TRAPS START 2009 AS A WINNER!

Ballsmania has proudly teamed up with Nottingham Greyhound Stadium to offer sporting clubs in Nottinghamshire the chance to raise some much needed money for their club by announcing the inaugural Ballsmania Cup. The Ballsmania Cup heats will take place at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium on the evenings of Friday 3rd April, Friday 17th April, Friday 8th May, Friday 29th May, Friday 5th June and Friday 19th June. Six clubs will be required for each night thus a total of thirty six clubs can compete for the honour of being crowned the inaugural Ballsmania Cup champion. How will it work? Nottingham Greyhound Stadium will supply each club with 100 tickets free of charge for the relevant Ballsmania Cup heats night – clubs can then sell these tickets (normal price is £6 per person) to their club members, families and friends with all the proceeds being retained by the club.

Each club will be allocated a trap number [1 – 6] and the club will be represented by this trap number for each of the six Ballsmania Cup races – the position the dog finishes in each Ballsmania race scores points on a league table basis (7 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place and so on down to 1 point for 6th place). The clubs with the highest points total on the six evenings will be invited back on Friday 17th July to compete in the final of the Ballsmania Cup. The overall winner will be crowned the Ballsmania Cup

Notts County started 2009 in the perfect manner this afternoon with a 2-1 victory over Exeter City at Meadow Lane. Ian McParland's men showed great character to come back from a goal down courtesy of two goals in seven minutes late in the first half from the boots of Delroy Facey and Gavin Strachan after Marcus Stewart's penalty had given Paul Tisdale's side the lead. Despite dominating the second half Notts couldn't add to their tally, with Adam Nowland and Delroy Facey both going close. In their first game for almost two weeks McParland handed recalls to Michael Johnson, Adam Nowland and Jamie Forrester from the 3-0 defeat Rotherham United while new signing Phil Picken was handed his debut at right-back. The Meadow Lane groundstaff worked their magic to get the game on despite almost all the games in League Two being called off due to the big freeze up and down the country. A minute's applause was held prior to kick-off in honour of Magpies legend Jack Wheeler who sadly passed away earlier today. Notts attacked the Haydn Green Family Stand in the first half, but it was the Grecians who created the first opportunity as Ryan Harley blasted a right-shot towards the bottom corner of Pilkington's goal but the Notts goalkeeper made a fine stop diving low to his left. Michael Johnson headed wide on fourteen minutes with Notts' first real attack from Matt Hamshaw corner after a good passage of Magpies passing. Two minutes later Notts had a glorious opportunity to take the lead after some neat link-up play between Facey and Forrester, but twelve yards out Facey's weak effort was straight at Jones in the Grecians goal. Hamshaw was getting plenty of the ball down the right and was at the hub of Notts' best moves forwards. On twenty-five minutes though the visitors were awarded a penalty - against the run of play - for an apparent trip on Stansfield by Johnson in the box, which was given by the Assistant Referee on the far side. The experienced Marcus Stewart was given the responsibility of taking the penalty-kick, and he did so with great composure by slotting the ball into Pilkington's left-hand corner as the goalkeeper dived to his right. Notts responded quickly as Hamshaw drew a stop from

Jones, and Johnson headed over from the resultant corner. The Magpies were rewarded for their efforts just after the half-hour though as Delroy Facey slotted home his fifth of the season to draw Notts onto level terms. Jamie Clapham did superbly well to cut out Tulley's clearance and provide a telling ball into the box which fell kindly to Facey, and although his initial effort was blocked he was able to latch onto the ball again and slot the ball into the far corner. The big striker made a point of running over to Manager Ian McParland to celebrate his second strike on home territory this season. Notts' tails were up and Myles Weston almost made it a dramatic turnaround but his low drive from outside the box was just off target. Pilkington made a fine save with his feet to deny Saunders at the other end, and a minute later he was powerless to get anywhere near Harley's stinging shot from thirty yards which thundered off Pilkington's left-hand post and away to safety. Exeter were made to rue that miss as five minutes before the break Notts went ahead. Myles Weston won the ball superbly down the left, advanced forwards and delivered a superb low cross that Strachan steered into the far corner for his first goal in Notts colours. The Magpies ended the first half strongly and were full value for their lead - but Strachan joy was soon to turn to despair as he had to be replaced in first-half injury-time with a hamstring problem. Nat Wedderburn took his place in the middle of the park twenty-four hours after joining on loan from Stoke for the second time this season. The Magpies began the second half positively and Wedderburn brought a good save from Jones with a low drive from outside the box. Notts were looking comfortable on their lead and were advancing into some dangerous attacking areas but were unable to test Jones further. Just after the hour Adam Nowland came close to opening his Notts account with a cheeky chip after Picken had done well to win the ball back down the right, but with Jones beaten his effort clipped the top of the bar and went over. Rob Edwards almost turned a Facey cross into his own net a minute later after a superb run down the right by the Notts striker, and with Notts applying all the pressure a third goal was always likely. Facey broke the offside trap with fifteen minutes to go to have a clear run on goal, but he shot straight at Jones with just the goalkeeper to beat. It was a glorious chance which would have allowed Notts to enjoy the final ten minutes or so. Ex-Grecian Sean Canham replaced Jamie Forrester for the final five minutes looking to net against his former employers for the second time this season. Understandably Exeter applied some late pressure, but Notts' defensive display was excellent and they were able to celebrate their first three points of the New Year.

Attendance: 3,832

Chambers – 6 – recovered after an ailing start to give a determined performance. Morgan – 8.5 – a titanic display from Morgan who blocked everything. Breckin – 6 – a solid performance, but outpaced on one or two occasions. Cohen – 6 – he is wasted at left back, but his work rate and his determination on the break were enough to redeem his display. Anderson – 7 – his pace on the break and his dribbling ability are particularly useful, but he is lacking physically and often melts in the final third. McGugan – 6 – a congested game that did not suit him, despite one or two attempts to weave his way into space. Perch – 6.5 – did an important job of breaking up play in front of the defence. Thornhill – 6 – not bad at all when he had possession, but he tends to disappear for fairly long periods. Tyson – 7 – he has grown in confidence over the last few weeks and it shows in his performances. Not the time for an injury. Earnshaw – 7 – excellent finish and a hard-working display. Subs: Davies – 5.5 – struggled to get involved as Forest defended desperately. Garner – 6.5 – immediately won a free kick and kept the ball out of harm's way with some sensible movement.

Report by Alex Campbell

severe glares and wrinkled foreheads, celebrated in disbelief. A popular question at half-time was 'just how have we managed that?'After half-time the frost descended and the pitch hardened, but Charlton showed no mercy in their search for a lifeline. Breckin's automated clearance mechanism laid on a banquet of corners, but a combination of Paul Smith's gloves and a series of reckless, sprawling blocks kept the score in Forest's favour. As the home side ventured optimistically forward, there was a mischievous yearning for Paul Anderson's pace or Robert Earnshaw's guile to settle matters with a third. Indeed Anderson should have scored midway through the half – but his downward volley struck the corner flag! With a reluctant sense of inevitability, Charlton heads dropped and their supporters – no doubt already planning their trips to Stockport et al – flocked to the exits. Not even the incentive of a bizarre five minutes of stoppage time could raise spirits in what simply wasn't their day. It was a tough afternoon for Billy Davies, who will be under no illusions about the challenges that lie ahead. It was a direct, dogged, generally quite unpleasant display. But it was a winning display – and in Forest's plight, that will do nicely. Ratings:Smith – 8 – his kicking was fairly poor, but he deserves credit for another series of exceptional saves.

Charlie’s had better Christmas’... bless him!

If Billy Davies found his brow somewhat furrowed at Forest's league position after the City triumph, he probably had the mystery solved by the end of this afternoon. The fiery Scot snatched three desperately needed points from the league's bottom club, but Charlton will be inclined to call it a daylight robbery. For much of the first half Forest created as close to possible as nothing, while the hosts were afforded the time and space to plot endless routes in behind an industrious but flappable defence. Tyson's goal arrived without warning, and seemingly seconds later Earnshaw's cool lob doubled the advantage.

Former player Ian Barker stated 'He gave an unimaginable amount of time to the club and will leave a massive hole there'.

East Midland CountiesOnly 1 game managed to beat the freeze and Barrow Town missed the chance to close the gap on the top 4 when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Heanor Town. Heanor, without a win since the 22nd of November, took the lead through defender Rob Mawer in front of a crowd of 120 before Stu Wilson cancelled out the vistor's advantage. Heanor regained the initiative before half time when fresh signing Anthony Bedwood opened his Heanor Account with their 2nd goal to go in at the break 1-2 up. Not to be denied Barrow fought back and Wilson netted his 10th of the season and 2nd of the afternoon to give Barrow a share of the points.

Central MidlandsYorkshire Main saved a record from being broken, its 19 years since the CMFL recorded a complete postponement of matches, but the Yorkshire club played in the only match remaining, a Doncaster F A Challenge Cup tie against Doncaster Deaf. The CMFL club went through to the next round, recording a 4-2 victory, in a match described as

extremely good, taking into account the conditions. The pitch desperate being hard, was well grassed and a credit to the home club. In an entertaining first half Yorkshire Main took the lead in the 8th minute, Dean Wilburn running on to a through ball, to send a rasping shot into the corner of the net. The home team hit back and where on level terms in the 11th minute, the Yorkshire Main defence seemed to go to 'sleep' and allowed the home striker to score from close range. Danny Manningfield restored Main's advantage in the 24th minute, he waltzed past the home defence before slotting home. However, the home team continued to give the visitors defence problems and again levelled in the 44th minute with Main's rearguard again at 'sixes and sevens'. Right on half time, Dean Wilburn got his second, to put Main 3-2 in front, his superb strike going into the top corner. The second half did not match the first and when the home team conceded an own goal to make it 4-2 to the CMFL side they lost their fighting spirit and Yorkshire Main played out the game comfortably, ensuring a place in the draw for the next round. On the league scene all the matches where postponed due to the hard frosts that have taken place over the week, another headache for the hard working CMFL Fixtures Secretary, Steve Broadhurst who has spent the afternoon rearranging matches. Report by Frank Harwood

Northern Counties EastArnold Town moved up to second place in the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division but missed out on a chance of going level on points with the league leaders. The Eagles are now two points behind Mickleover Sports after a 1-1 draw in their home match with Brodsworth Welfare that was played at Radford FC. But, in what was the only match to beat the sub-zero temperatures on Saturday, they had to show great determination to get that point after their goalkeeper was sent off in the first twenty seconds. Lee Broster was adjudged to have handled the ball outside of his area and seventeenth-placed Brodsworth then took advantage by breaking the deadlock through Stuart Slack on 20 minutes. And, they looked to be heading for their second win on their travels until Brett Adams levelled matters with just ten minutes remain to preserve Arnold's unbeaten 'home' record.

The Wheatsheaf

Edinburgh Capitals 0Nottingham Panthers 6The GMB Nottingham Panthers came flying out of the blocks and eventually won with a 0-6 shut-out at Edinburgh on Sunday. We hardly gave the home side a sniff of the puck and jumped to a three goal lead in the first ten minutes. After adding the only goal of the second period, there was only one team in it again in the third as we again dominated, meanwhile Michel dealt with everything at the other end. A solid and professional performance in our only game of the weekend. Meanwhile leaders Sheffield dropped their second point of the weekend, losing in overtime at home to Belfast (3-4), Coventry won at Manchester (1-2) and the other bmibaby Elite League game also went to overtime, Newcastle winning at Hull (3-4).

Saturday's results from bmibaby Elite League leaders Sheffield went to overtime and penalties at home to the Cardiff Devils on Saturday night (3-4), Coventry hammered lowly Hull (7-1), Edinburgh beat Basingstoke (3-4) and Newcastle came out on top against Manchester (5-4). Steelers had two overtime games last weekend and took both points on both occasions, this time Devils won the penalty shoot-out.

Nottingham 23Cornish Pirates 19

Attendance: 1,705

An injury time try from Dan Montagu gave Nottingham a 23-19 win over Cornish Pirates at Meadow Lane. But for so much of this game a win looked unlikely as Pirates generally had the better of things, only for the Green and Whites to snatch two late tries to secure the points in a dramatic finale. It was a sluggish first half from Nottingham though, particularly the first quarter, as they struggled to find any kind of rhythm, and Pirates looked the more dangerous side. They had an early chance to take the lead when outside half Rhys Jones went for an ambitious penalty just inside his own half, but the ball fell just short. He was on target a minute later though to make it 3-nil in the fifth minute. They so nearly stretched that lead when an interception on half way saw them attack down the middle, but as the ball was moved out to the left Rhodri McAttee was forced into touch a metre or two short. Despite this wake up call Nottingham still struggled to get into the game and could have fallen further behind, but were thankful to see Jones mis-kick a third penalty attempt. They then suffered an injury blow as scrum half Tim Usasz had to leave the field with a suspected broken collar bone. After a third miss from Jones the Green and Whites finally got onto the attack as David Jackson set off on a looping run following a lineout on the Pirates' 10 metre line midway through the first half. That was the first time Nottingham had carried the ball into their opponents' 22. Jackson lost possession as he was tackled and

Pirates comfortably cleared the danger, but this lifted Nottingham and they gradually got more into the game. Greig Tonks was just wide with his first penalty attempt, but just as Jones had done earlier he made amends a minute later to level the scores at three points each just before the half hour, and that's how it stayed until the break. Eight minutes into the second half Pirates were back in front with a second penalty from Jones, but Nottingham responded with much more urgency and powered forward with Montagu and Tim Taylor both going close. They forced a penalty for Tonks to make it six points apiece, only for Jones to put Pirates back in front with his third kick minutes later. As Nottingham's performance gradually improved over the second half Joe Duffey was unlucky not to break through, but the attack did bring a penalty for Tonks to again level the scores. The game swung away from them in the space of five minutes though as an opportunist try from scrum half Nick Griffiths, and a conversion and penalty from Jones opened up a ten point gap. At that stage, with fifteen minutes remaining, Pirates looked the more likely winners and will kick themselves for not closing out the game. Having been second best for much of it though, the Green and Whites responded with a spell of controlled rugby which eventually brought its reward with those two late tries. Having camped on the Pirates line and gone close a couple of time the referee awarded a penalty try, with Tonks converting to bring them back to 16-19. And a similar effort saw Montagu steal the victory with that dramatic try in the second minute of injury time, Tonks again converting. So having been below par for so long, Nottingham finally showed their true capabilities to move back into third place in the Division One table. But Pirates will justifiably see this as a missed opportunity.
