welcomed back Marquin Smith after a short spell at Alfreton Town. Carlton making a bright start to the game took the lead on 16 minutes after Marquin Smith was fouled on the edge of the area, Steve Chaplin glanced a header into the corner of the net after a Dean Gent free kick. Kidsgrove keeper Steve Intihar made a double save from Darry Thomas and then Marquin Smith to keep the score at 1-0. Kidsgrove almost equalised but were kept at bay by in form Carlton keeper Ali Barcherini who made a great punch from Adam Beesley. Carlton almost increased their lead on the stroke of half time when from a Martin Ball corner Grant Brindleys header was scrambled away by the Kidsgrove defence. Carlton continued to press in the second half, a Thomas shot rebounded off of Intihar but was cleared by Tom Shwarz. Carlton then extended their lead on 56 minutes when a Gent corner was firmly headed home by skipper Mike Martin. Kidsgrove pulled a goal back on 72 minutes when substitute Tim Sanders scored directly from a free kick. Carlton appeared to weather the storm with Thomas again going close. But in the last 5 minutes a tired looking Carlton defence were saved by keeper Barcherini who made three spectacular saves to ensure Carlton gained their first win since November.

Arnold Town 3Thackley 2Arnold began their tenure at Eagle Valley with a hard earned victory. Playing in front of their biggest home league crowd since December 2000 the Eagles had a dream start. Craig Mitchell had the honour of scoring the first goal on the ground as his low drive slipped through the fingers of Ayres to give his side a 15th minute lead. Mitchell should have doubled his tally five minutes later, but shot wide with the goal at his mercy. Brewster was felled by Aston in the area and Mitchell fired the spot kick high to the keepers left to double the advantage after 36 minutes. With the Eagles in control the points appeared to be secure however the visitors had other ideas. Coy crossed into the area and Clarke diverted the ball into his own net after 39 minutes. The visitors were level two minutes later as Brissett fired home from 15 yards out. The home side regained the lead 10 minutes into the second period as the recalled Brewster crossed from the right and Hall planted his diving header past the grasp of Ayres. Mitchell went close to securing a hat trick and the visitors saw a cross roll along the cross bar in the latter stages of the game. The Eagles held on to send the majority of the 238 crowd home happy following a historic day for the club.Arnold Town: Broster, Thornton, Jephson, Clarke, Hudson, Adams, Clifford (Walton 76), HallFreestone (Evans 90), Mitchell, Brewster (Brookes 65)

It's half time. It has been a disaster. Weeks of expectancy have passed, building to a crescendo of absent daydreams and nauseating anticipation. At the moment it all seems to have been a waste of time. I comment that a replay seems as appealing as a final itself. The 45 minutes looming before us has an empty quality and the mood is one of thorough despondency. As a football fan this is very nearly the lowest point imaginable. But the best is yet to come. Once again, in a style that has barely seemed possible at points over the last ten years, Forest emerged to salvage pride and send spirits through the stratosphere. And the 64th minute celebrations of Robert Earnshaw's equaliser will not be forgotten for a very long time. Two clashes with Derby this season have knocked years off my life, and it is a daunting but impelling thought that we are only half way there. For long periods tonight the fact that this was an FA Cup tie was unreservedly forgotten and irrelevant. But what it does mean is that somebody must come out on top next time. It is mouth-watering. We will certainly have to raise our game next time around. For half of tonight's match we were diabolical. Defensively we

afforded them time and space beyond explanation, the midfield melted into obscurity, and the forwards chased shadows. Every cross and every corner threatened to induce heart attacks and Smith, regaled by full time, gave a masterclass in how not to command an area. In the second half it was a different story entirely. Having the confidence to attack a game can do wonderful things and Derby were left reeling by Tyson, McCleary and Anderson. Their combined pace, with Earnshaw fizzing between them, was simply too much. For 15 minutes in the second half we dominated but the storm seemed to have past when Earnshaw netted. I shall be forever grateful that it hadn't. Billy Davies' absence was a huge blow. But we survived it, and now the path to glory has surely been set? Only time will tell, of course. I'm rather hoping for a repeat of 2003's City Ground thrashing – I'm simply not sure that my heart can stand another game like this.Match ratings:Smith – 8.5 – a 10 for his second half heroics after a hesitant first half. Chambers – 6 – struggled at times, especially in failing to cut out crosses, but this was a tremendously hard-working display. Breckin – 7 – a solid performance overall, despite several moments of indecision – particularly later on when legs were dragging. Wilson – 7 – one of his better performances this season. A concrete performance. Lynch – 4 – a woeful display, his substitution at half time was vital. Anderson – 7.5 – his pace on the break was fundamental to our recovery. Perch – 8 – his midfield input consisted of little more than scrapping, but some of his last ditch tackles were exceptional. McGugan – 6.5 – a tale of two halves, as with everybody else. Cohen – 7.5 – extremely useful in the second half, linked superbly with Anderson. Earnshaw – 8 – what a moment, and what an excellent striker's goal. Tyson – 8 – looks three or four times the player that he did a few months ago. Keep it up, please. McCleary – 7 – important cross for the goal and his pace caused problems. Report by Alex Campbell

Ian McParland handed a home debut to goalkeeper Josh Lillis who joined on loan from Scunthorpe earlier in the week, meanwhile Delroy Facey shook off a calf problem to return to the starting line-up and Michael Johnson returned to the team after being rested in midweek with Sean Canham and Stephen Hunt reverting to the bench. Notts kicked off at Meadow Lane attacking the Haydn Green Family Stand, and within thirty seconds the Magpies almost took the lead. Jamie Forrester, who scored against the Valiants in October at Vale Park, let fly from twenty-five with a blistering effort that crashed off the underside of the bar with Anyon beaten all ends up. Fortunately for the visitors, the loose ball fell to a Vale defender and was hooked clear. Notts were confident and in control from the off and were always looking to bring their two wide players into the game - but from a corner on ten minutes the visitors had two chances to take the lead. First of all Owen was denied at the far post by the legs of Lillis at point-blank range, and then after a punch from the Notts goalkeeper fell to the feet of Brammer twelve yards out he volleyed just over the bar. From their second set-piece four minutes later the visitors were presented with another glorious chance to take the lead, but Stockley dragged his effort wide from six yards out when he was totally unmarked. Lillis was Notts' hero on the half hour by making

a fine save to deny Glover when one-on-one after Picken cheaply squandered possession in his own half. But on thirty-three minutes Vale were made to rue those misses as Myles Weston gave Notts the lead. Weston collected a loose ball inside the Vale half and immediately set off on a run towards goal, and after weaving his way past two defenders he kept his composure to drive the ball into the far corner. After notching the winner at Vale Park in October with his first-ever League goal, it seemed somewhat ironic that he should find the net in the corresponding fixture. Forrester came close to doubling Notts' advantage after more good play by the Magpies five minutes before the break but he dragged his effort wide from just outside the Vale area. Lillis was called into action four minutes into the second half to make a fine save from Louis Dodds' stinging drive from inside the box, but two minutes later he was powerless to stop the Vale drawing level as Richman burst clear to crash a powerful left-foot effort into the net from just inside Notts' area. There was no need to panic though, because within five minutes though Notts were back in front. A superb break saw Weston and Hamshaw combine well to pick out Forrester outside the box, and with time and space to line up his effort he curled a superb right-foot shot into the very top corner of Anyon's goal. Sublime and class, all mixed into one. It was a great goal, and he followed Weston in repeated the feat of scoring against Vale in both meetings between the two sides this season. On sixty-five minutes Forrester doubled his goals total by latching onto a poor back-header by a Vale defender and calmly guiding the ball past the helpless Anyon. He read the situation perfectly, and kept his composure to take his total to seven for the season. With Notts in full flow Forrester crashed a long-range effort just over two minutes later - clearly with a hat-trick in mind.

Forrester's strike partner Facey was keen to get in on the act as well, but he was denied by A n y o n w h o t u r n e d h i s thunderous volley away. The crowd and confidence were buzzing with Notts retaining the ball and looking like scoring on every occasion they advanced towards Vale's goal. But Vale showed they weren't out of the game with just under fifteen minutes to go as Louis Dodds' headed home from a right-wing cross by Brammer. With ten minutes to go in this wide open game Notts were awarded a penalty for a foul on Facey by Stockley, presenting Forrester with the chance to notch his hat-trick - and from twelve yards he made no mistake from twelve yards out. Forrester was then replaced to a standing ovation from the Notts faithful, with yo u ng Na t We dde rbu rn replacing the experienced campaigner and forming a five-man midfield to see the game out - and Ben Fairclough followed in place of Hamshaw.

Buckingham Insurance Supreme Division leaders Harworth Colliery Institute recorded their fifth successive victory at Rolls Royce Leisure, retaining their five point lead at the top of the table. Struggling Rolls gave a good account of themselves, the visitors winning by the odd goal in five. Both teams conceded an own goal in the first half, but it was the visitors who led at the interval 2-1, with a Martin Gee goal. Dean Burrows extended Harworth's lead after the interval. Matthew Clowes pulled a goal back for Rolls with nine minutes remaining but Harworth held on to take the points. Second placed Calverton Miners Welfare were much too strong for second from bottom Harrowby United at Hollinwood Lane. 3-0 in front at half time, the home team went on to record an 8-1 victory. Both Chris Hall and Lewis Capewell both hit a brace, Barry Paine, Simon Gould, Mark Jago and Craig Boulton also on target for Graham Walker's team. Rob Mills notched a consolation goal for Harrowby. Third placed Sutton Town AFC where involved in the Second Round of the Quartet Catering League Cup, at Kinsley Boys and second half goals converted by Ben Greenhalgh and Gareth Davey took the Nottinghamshire into the next round. Fourth and Fifth placed clubs, Radcliffe Olympic and Forest Town should have played at Radcliffe, for the third time in a week but perhaps mercifully the match was postponed due to an unfit pitch. Another bad result for Newark Town, after an excellent run, the Collingham based club, suffered their second successive home reverse, going down to a 3-0 defeat against Clipstone Welfare. The visitors who led 1-0 at half time scored through Carl Russo (2) and Chris Hewitt. Pinxton showed no mercy to bottom club Kimberley Town at Wharf Road, the home team led 4-0 at half time, with goals by Wayne Cook, Mark Downing, Daniel Marriott and Joe Riley. The second half belonged to Pinxton's substitute Jay Cooper, who notched a hat trick, all his goals being scored in a ten minute period mid way through the half. A welcome point for Lincolnshire club Nettleham, they shared four goals at home against Southwell City. Lee Beesley scored both the home teams goals, one of them being an 85th minute equaliser. Danny Prance and Adam Meakin the Southwell marksmen. Westella and Willerby also have a five point lead at the top of the Black Dragon Premier Division, they where made to fight for the three points at Church Warsop Miners Welfare, they were dependent on a second half goal from Alan Laud, his goal being the only goal of the game. Second placed Parramore Sports, won by the same score at home against Newark Flowserve. Prior to the game the home team

brace from Jonathan Gravelle the Kiveton sharp shooters. Thoresby Colliery Welfare won a close encounter against Parkhouse, the Edwinstowe based club, winning 2-1. Nine goals at Bentley Colliery, with the home team just nicking the points against the bottom club, Welbeck Welfare, 5-4. Michael Assard (2), Mathew Shaw (2) and Joe Lumsden on target for Bentley. Danny Whitshire hit a hat trick for Welbeck, Steve Vankavich adding the other goal. Only two matches survived pitch inspections in the Abacus Lighting Reserves Supreme Division and both produced eight goals. Teversal Reserves and Sutton Town AFC Reserves shared the goals at Carnarvon Street, Andy Woodcock scoring all four Teversal goals. Staveley Miners Welfare crushed Clipstone Welfare Reserves at the Lido Ground, Daniel Eborall hit a hat trick for the visitors in their 6-2 victory. A massive thirteen point lead, at the top of the Abacus Lighting Reserves Premier Division for Southwell City Reserves, they where behind 1-0 at the interval at home against Church Warsop Miners Welfare Reserves but came storming back in the second half to record a 3-1 victory. Connor Kelly scored the Church Warsop goal. Robert

Hague, Mark Foster and Dominic Williams the Southwell scorers. Second placed Kiveton Park Reserves, went through to the Second Round of the Phoenix Reserves League Cup Competition, they got the better of Graham St Prims Reserves, gaining a 2-0 victory, with goals by Paul Gregory and Nathan Warner. What a day for Yorkshire Main Reserves striker Ryan White, he hit all his sides six second half goals, against Nettleham Reserves, the home team winning 7-2. Clipstone Welfare Reserves won 2-1 at home against Pinxton Reserves and an away win for Radcliffe Olympic Reserves 4-1 at Ollerton Town Reserves. Newark Town Reserves and Calverton Miners Welfare Reserves drew 4-4. Report by Frank Harwood

received the 'Team of the M o n t h ' a w a r d f o r November, from Paul Wilson of the Leagues Main Sponsors Abacus Lighting, supported by the league Chairman Frank Harwood. On a superb playing surface both teams played some good football, it was a fifteen minute penalty, converted by Paul Billard, that separated the two teams. A feature of the m a t c h w a s t h e per formances o f the officials, led by the Referee Neil Minton, who was outstanding. Louth Town, who are in third place again had a blank day, their game at Hutton Cranswick United was postponed. Kirkby Town moved up to fourth, they had a comfortable 4-0 win against Phoenix Sports and Social, the visitors certainly did not produce the form that defeated S u p r e m e D i v i s i o n Calverton last week in the cup, so it was a painful journey home for the She f f i e ld a rea c lub . Kirkby's ace striker, Carl Haslem, proved way is in demand from a number of more senior clubs, he scored all four Kirkby goals. Three second half goals gave Kiveton Park a 3-0 win at Bulwell Town; despite this defeat the home team equipped themselves well, in an entertaining encounter. Robert Gorman and a

third placed Southport. Once again it was another battling performance against a very good Southport side. There was a home debut for recent signing Cashell Walters but the club`s newest signing Vladimir Santos Farrel had to be content with a place on the subs bench. Southport had some early pressure but home skipper Gary Sucharewycz had a shot which we skiled way over but the was a foul on the Port keeper. Gary Ricketts then had a header which McMillan saved as the hosts were giving as good as they got. The second half continued in the same vein, with chances few and far between, but the visitors had a good opportunity but Alan Moogan wasted the chance. At the other end Laurie Wilson`s header was saved and as the visitors pushed forward Matt Duffy and Neil Robinson both went close. Hucknall, though, hit back and in the last minute were awarded a corner which unfortunately for the home side came to nothing. All in all another great, battling point, for Bryan Chambers` side who will now be looking forward to Tuesday night`s home clash with Stafford Rangers.Hucknall Town: Lindley, (C) Walters (Baxter), (T) Walters, Meikle, Timons, Sucharewycz, Wilson, Mitchell (O`Brien), Ricketts, Bacon, Liburd Unused subs Ward, Kettle, Farrel

Lewes 0Mansfield Town 1Manager David Holdsworth made it two wins out of two with a 1-0 victory away at struggling Lewes this afternoon. A crowd of 598 witnessed a game which Stags controlled from start to finish, with a well-organised display from David Holdsworth's men. Stags attacked the home goal from the first whistle, and had Lewes under heavy pressure for most of the match, with David Holdsworth employing an adventurous 4-3-3 formation. Within the opening five minutes, Stags squandered a great opportunity to break the deadlock. Home goalkeeper Rikki Banks came 15 yards off his line to deny a Rob Duffy shot at goal, and when the ball fell to Curtis Woodhouse from inside the area he struck wide of the goalkeeper's left hand post with only two home players on the line. On ten minutes, David Wheeler tried his luck from 20 yards, but Stags' keeper Alan Marriott was equal to it, diving to his left. Woodhouse had another opportunity to get on the scoresheet. A cross from the right was met by the head of the ex Sheffield United midfielder, but his effort was off target. By this time, Stags were pilling on the pressure, and their best chance in the early stages came just under the 15 minute mark. Aaron O'Connor's powerful shot struck the bar, with his effort from the left hand side of the penalty area. Stags finally found their reward on 22 minutes when they took the advantage. A free kick was won slightly right of centre, 25 yards from goal. Debutant Paul Mayo stepped up to whip the ball into the top left hand corner, with Banks left clutching at air. Stags enjoyed a spell where they had the hosts camped in their own half, with Lewes having to withstand wave after wave of attack. 13 minutes from the end of the first half, Woodhouse again in the thick of the action, swung the ball in from the right which Rob Duffy connected with from

Cooke almost found the head of defender Mark Hume who was still up for a corner, as all Bradford's confident play had vanished since the goal. Eastwood were winning the midfield battle and seemed happy to allow Bradford possession and hit them on the break. From one short move, Todd picked the ball up just outside the Eastwood box and ran the length of the pitch and despite the close attentions of two defenders slipped the ball to Holmes who flashed a shot just wide of the post. Bradford should have equalised in the 26th minute when Hockenhull and James combined well. From down the right James burst into the box and tried to bend the ball past Redmond but he tipped it past the post for a corner. From the corner the ball evaded everyone apart from Chris Hall on the back post and his header across the goal sailed agonisingly wide of the post. It was a contender for goal of the season that settled this match. Redmond's long kick went to Ian Holmes who switched the ball out to Lindon Meikle just outside the Bradford box and he bent the ball into the top corner of the net. Rory Patterson tried to respond quickly for Bradford but he fired well wide. Bradford got away with a blatant handball winning a throw in. The ball came to Mark Bett on the edge of the box and his thunderous shot hit the inside of the post and shot across the goal-line before Robinson put it into touch. Chris Hall won the first corner of the second half as Bradford looked to take the game to their visitors. Patterson came from midfield and burst into the box however Simon Sturdy produced a match winning tackle to prevent the Bradford striker from getting a shot in. It was Patterson's final action of the game as the striker was injured in the tackle. Hall's header from a corner made for an easy catch by Redmond, and Bradford were putting a lot of high balls into the box from wide areas but the Badgers were dealing with them comfortably. On the counter attack, Gardner played a delightful ball over the fullback and Meikle skinned him for pace before playing the ball back to Richard Dunning who flashed the ball just the wrong side of the post. Robinson produced a fantastic tackle to dispossess Hall as he burst into the box. Cooke played Meikle down the wing and into the box, Wornsop made a good save and Chris Stass just beat Andy Todd to the loose ball before the midfielder, to put the game beyond Bradford. Former Badger Mark Haran was lucky to get away with another blatant handball and denied Ian Holmes a clear run on goal. Wornsop made a good save from Meikle after Gardner, Holmes and Meikle had combined. Dunning gave away a free-kick just outside the box and in a replica of Meikle first half stunner Steve Connors curled a beautiful freekick towards the top corner of the goal. However Shane Redmond produced a match winning save flying to his right to tip the ball over for a corner. Connors next shot from a good position went well wide. The referee was managing to give every decision to Bradford, even the one time he was struggling to give a throw to the Avenue, the linesmen a fully 30 yards away helped him out. So it came as no surprise to the Eastwood faithful that he sent off Mark Hume for a foul just outside the box, Even the Bradford fans agreed it wasn't a booking, but Mr Cook was determined to make a name for himself. The Badgers held firm as Bradford threw everything at them in the final 10 minutes for a victory that will send shockwaves throughout the promotion chasing teams. So the Badgers end the

Premier Division

Borrowash Victoria     0 1     Kirby Muxloe

Gedling Town     6 2     St Andrews

Hinckley Downes     2 1     Heanor Town

Rob Pitman was on target for the second time in a week when his goal gave Kirby Muxloe a timely 1-0 win at leaders Borrowash Victoria. And the victory hoisted Kirby level on points at the top of the table. Pitman was among the scorers in his side's 3-0 midweek defeat of Ibstock United and Saturday's effort made it ten games unbeaten for the Ratby

Lane side. Borrowash still lead the pack on goal difference but waved goodbye to their unbeaten home record in the league. Gedling Town edged to within two points of the leading clubs following their 6-2 victory over St Andrews. Lavell White led the way with a hat-trick with the other Town goals coming from Rob Gill, Andy Davis and Ben Allison. St Andrews, who had been on a decent run going into the game, replied through James Mee and Kyle Robinson. The only other game to beat the weather was at Hinckley Downes where visitors Heanor Town went down 2-1. Adrian Hawes found the net for Heanor but the Downes were already two goals to the good through Brett Adams and Phil Warrington

JOKE OF THE WEEK!There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:Dear God,I am an 83-year-old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?Sincerely,Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:Dear God,How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it was those b******s at the Post Office.Edna

short range, but his effort flew wide. Mayo attempted to bag his second of the game, with five minutes remaining, but his right-footed shot from 25 yards lacked the power and direction to seriously test Banks. Lewes tried to up their game from the re-start, but their powder puff attacks were

dealt with relative ease by the Stags' defence. David Holdsworth made a change 12 minutes into the second half - Louis Briscoe being replaced by Tomi Ameobi in attack. With a quarter of the game remaining, Michael Blackwood was brought into the action, at the expense of Aaron O'Connor. Despite Stags' dominance, the travelling faithful would have been more at ease with the addition of another goal, and it nearly came on 75 minutes. A cross from the left was met by the head of Tomi Ameobi, but his header was off target from ten yards. Five minutes later, Alan Marriott was called upon in the Stags goal to keep out a powerful shot from Lewes' Josh Klein Davies. With four minutes to go, Lewes announced Michael Standing as their man of the match over the tannoy. Then, moments later, the same player stuck viciously at goal, but his shot sailed wide. Lewes tried desperately to find an equaliser, and even threw their goalkeeper forward for a corner in the closing stages, but Stags hung on to claim another clean sheet, and more importantly, another three points.

Bradford PA 0Eastwood Town 2Eastwood backed by a large and vociferous crowd passed their sternest test of the season beating Bradford Park Avenue which the team manager Paul Cox described as the one to watch.Springing a surprise, Cox opted to play centre half Paul Robinson at right back and recalled Lindon Meikle to the starting line up at the expense of striker Matt Rhead. New Park Avenue Manager Lee Sinnott started with new signing James Knowles with his other signing ex-Middlesborough striker Andy Campbell on the bench. Mark Bett was the first to threaten the Eastwood goal as Bradford shot out of the blocks. Bett cut in from the right and fired over the bar. Dunning made an uncharacteristic mistake allowing Matt James to play Chris Hall in, he fired across Shane Redmond but his firm arm pushed the ball out to Gardner who completed the clearance. Mark Whitehouse picked up a clearance from an Eastwood free kick and ran the length of the field but the covering defender Russell Cooke cleared for a throw as he shaped to go inside the last man. At the other end Stuart Rudd had to be alert to prevent Lindon Meikle having a clear run on goal, as the Badgers finally started to string some passes together. For all Bradford's enterprising play in the first twenty minutes it was the Badgers that took the lead. From a Bradford corner, the ball was only half cleared to James Knowles at the edge of the box and his first time volley beat Shane Redmond but Dunning headed off the line. The ball broke kindly to Anton Foster who lead the charge up field slipping the ball to Holmes then onto Meikle who crossed for Ian Holmes whose snap shot ricocheted off Darren Hockenhull into the path of Ross Gardner to smash home from seven yards. The Badgers almost double their lead a minute later. A Richard Dunning free kick into the heart of the Bradford box Paul Robinson beat keeper Jon Wornsop to the ball but a covering defender hacked the ball from off the line. Russell

weekend in their highest ever league position in the football pyramid. The 100+ noisy following that travelled today was exceptional, constantly out-singing their counterparts in the 620 crowd. Bradford were probably the best team we have played this season despite the fact they had several new players, a new manager and hadn't played for three weeks. The great thing for the Badgers is that Bradford still have to play the likes of Hednesford, Marine and to be honest I can't see either of them taking any points off them.

Pinxton FC 7Kimberley Town 0Pinxton crush Kimberley Town with a 7 goal mauling, Young Kieran Debrouwer, Kimberley's nightmare was involved in 4 of the goals, hit the bar from 20 yard, and controlled the left hand side with an authority way above his young years, which gave him the man of the match award. Super sub, Jay Cooper came on for [one a game Mark Downing], just before half time because of a old injury problem, and in 10 brilliant minutes in the second half Cooper nets 3 superb top quality goals, the goals came on the hour, 63 and on 70, to destroy the hearts and souls of Kimberley Town. To add to Kimberley's woe's Jason Burnham made his debut for Pinxton at the age of 35, Jason made his debut for Northampton Town at the age of 16 and went on to play for Chester City before seeing out his professional football career at Halesowen Town, He always said he would like to play for Pinxton fc and he's fulfilled that ambition against Kimberley Town, marked with a good performance and got an assist with Pinxton's second goal. It took just 22 minutes for Pinxton to start the scoring thanks to a quality Wayne Cook diagonal thunder bolt of a shot from the corner of the 18 yard box which found its way into the left hand corner of Kimberley's net, the fierce effort was a yard from the floor when it left Wayne's boot and it was a yard of the floor when it hit the net. Pinxton's second came from a Kieran Debrouwer free kick to the back post, the ball was headed back across goal by debut signing Jason Burnham, to the feet of Mark Downing who picked his spot from 6 yard on 28, that was Marks second in as many games. Pinxton where gifted their third goal when Mike Oxbrough the Kimberley keeper spilled a cross which gave Daniel Marriott one of his easiest of finishers on 33. Pinxton's fourth was made by Kieran Debrouwer just before the interval thanks to a committed mazy run into the 18 yard box, Kieran then found Pinxton's skipper Joe Riley with a Ronaldo type pass back right in front of goal 20 yard out, Joe's superbly struck strike was going into the top right hand corner as soon as it left his right boot to send Pinxton in at half time, 4-0 up. Cometh the hour cometh the young man, 17 year old Jay Cooper with his first of three goals on the day, It came from a confident run from deep leaving every one dazzled with the ease in which he left the Kimberley defence wanting, then 14 yard from goal with a one to one with the keeper his run was complemented by the shear effortless ease in which he found the right hand corner. Jay Cooper's second 3 minutes later was all about quality football from defence to goal down the left wing, Joe Riley started the move with a ball to the brilliant midfield dynamo, Frazer Thomas, who then in turn put the ball back wide to Kieran Debrouwer 40 yard from goal down the wing to complete the triangle, Kieran worked hard to hit the bye line and crossed the ball 6 yard out, right across Kimberley's goal mouth to Jay Cooper, who's timely run left him unmarked to finish coolly into the right of the shell-shocked Kimberley Town keeper's goal with a side footed effort. Pinxton's 7th to take then to seventh in the table came from the left again, but this time it was Pinxton stalwart, Daniel Marriott who delivered the cross to Jay Cooper, 6 yards out in front of goal, Jay calmly collected the ball with his right, turned to face goal and hit it with is left leaving Kimberley's keeper wondering what he had done to deserve this.

Newark Town 0Clipstone Welfare 3Newark slipped to their second defeat in a row, as they went down to mid table Clipstone at Station Road. Town made 3 changes to the side that lost to Pinxton, with Billy Joe Warner making his first appearance of the season, while Matt Roche made his full debut. Newark dominated right from the off; Louis Cree's 20 yard shot forcing a good save from the legs of Sheppard on 2 minutes. Town had another opening three minutes later, as a cross by Steve Carty was guided wide at the far post by Warner, when he really should have scored. The home side threatened with set plays after this, but failed to conjure clear cut chances. The turning point of the match occurred on 22 minutes. Shortly after being hacked down on the touchline by Craig Buchanan,

who escaped even a word from referee Smith, Ben Barnard was adjudged to have stamped on a Clipstone player, even though it appeared he made no contact, and was merely pulling out of taking a quick free kick. However the referee saw it differently, and produced the red card. After a tetchy few minutes, Clipstone had their first shot on goal 30 minutes into the match, when Russo's shot was comfortably gathered by Chris Riley. The keeper was busy again three minutes later, having to be alert to take the ball off Chris Hewitt on the edge of the area, after he had been played in by brother Michael. The visitors did take the lead on 42 minutes, when a long ball by Curly found Chris Hewitt all on his own up front, and the striker firmly slotted the ball past Riley, in what was their first meaningful attack. Newark made a double substitution at half time, Simon Ellison and FP McGregor, surprisingly replacing Matt Roche and Louis Cree at the front as the Blues tried to find a way back into the match. The forward pairing proved disappointing however, as they failed to create significant opportunities. Unsurprisingly, Clipstone bagged a second goal on 53 minutes, as Chris Hewitt's mazy run through three challenges cut the defence right open. He squared the ball to Russo who hammered the ball into the roof of the net, to double their advantage. Clipstone should have increased their lead four minutes later, when Chris Hewitt beat Riley to the ball, but his shot was cleared off the line by Mark Blant to concede the corner. From the corner Michael Hewitt hit a first time shot from 25 yards, after Gary Buchanan had dummied to deceive the defence. The shot was well saved by Riley in the Town goal. Clipstone eventually got their 3rd goal on 70 minutes, when a cross from the right was flicked on by Jones into the path of Chris Hewitt, who headed powerfully into the back of the net. Newark's only chance of note in the second half came from Mark Ellison, whose free kick stung the fingers of Shepperd in the Clipstone goal. The second half had been a complete reversal of the first, Town struggling increasingly as the game went on.

Nettleham 2Southwell City 2Southwell City were fortunate to return home with a point when they visited Mulsanne Park on Saturday. A lack lustre performance and a dismal second half display prevented any chance of obtaining three points to move them two places up the table. A superb goalkeeping performance from Darren Sharpe complimented by an equally superb performance from central defender Jack Hudson almost certainly prevented a Nettleham win. Nettleham opened the scoring on 7 minutes when captain Lee Beesley beat City's off-side trap and rounded Darren Sharpe to tap in. City levelled the score 9 minutes later when City boss mark Nangle was brought down in the Nettleham penalty area and Danny Prance made no mistake. Two minutes later and City took the lead with a superb team goal. No fewer that 12 twelve consecutive City passes resulted in Alex Turpin receiving the ball wide on the right, his accurate cross found Ally Haynes on the far post who headed home passed Mike Redgrift.The services of Darren Sharpe were called upon mid-way through the first half when he made two point blank saves from Nettleham's Steve Mason and then from Chris Belshaw to maintain the City lead. Nettleham launched further attacks and Lee Beesley netted two times but on each occasion he was ruled off side as the City defence continued to live dangerously. City boss Nangle used all his guile and experience by holding the ball up well and fed the ball to the advancing City midfield and Alex Turpin, Tom McDonald and Ally Haynes all came close. The half time whistle came with City's lead intact much to the dismay of the Nettleham players and staff.Nettleham started the second half at a brisk pace and in the first minute Tom Dorr missed a great chance to level the scores. The home side continued to press forward and further chances fell to their forwards. On the 17 minute mark Lee Beesley was again put through on goal but Jack Hudson made a superb challenged to deny the Nettleham captain. Nangle replaced the injured Adam Meakin and Alex Turpin with Daniel Severn and Kyle Croft to bolster the midfield in an attempt to protect City's slender lead but he Nettleham attacks were unabated. The Nettleham manager Mason decided to replace defender Michael Neaverson with Josh Bowden and played with three up front in search of the well deserved equaliser. This tactic was rewarded 8 minutes from time when Lee Beesley scored his second of the match. Despite further Nettleham pressure City were able to hold out for a fortunate point.

BEESTON, CHILWELL & WEST NOTTS POOL LEAGUEVictory Clubs A & B do a trading places slot this week as the A team move up to top slot as they celebrate their win whilst the B team go down hard in a crash against Jolly. The Anglers are proving to have a new found form this season but it must be tough at the top as the Commics and Vic clubs are determined to let no one past them in their championship battle. But having already crushed Vic B in a shock to the system the Commics and Vic A are the next targets in March, should prove quite a match. The top slot is still anybody's for the taking in this second half and there are plenty of teams in the wings awaiting the crack at the title. In division B the Birchover A took a real thrashing after not only losing the match 5-2 to Hillside but also tumbling from second position to fourth as Jaguar sees their win plant them second and hillside move to third on legs. Boy oh boy, that's some catching up to do after one fatality on Birchover's part. Not to be left out in the cold, the Queens A finally find a foothold after a brilliant 6-1 win over Cricketers B to lift them clear of the relegation Zone.

Games Played Mon 19th Jan

Darts Nottingham Central and Beeston, Chilwell & District Darts opponents and have generally fluctuated around the centre of the

league and I've a feeling that with the first half seasons experience under their belt the others will have a match on their hands this half. Greyhound take their second win over Jaguar proving yet again that when you have team spirit and they all show, you have the power to turn things around, well played Greyhound.MEN'S: Men's Pairs took place this Tuesday as the leagues took a break. Through to the last eight are: R. Attenborough & M. Ali of Birchover SC; J. Smith & M. Stout of Pelican; T. Bennett-Bull & R. Bennett-Bull of Wollaton SC; P. Topley & R. Spencer of Boat & Horses B; R. Bloomfield & R. Keys of Boat & Horses A; D. Gadsby & P. Gadsby of Queens; R. Brookes & T. Cox of Queens and R. Limb & A. Wilson of Boat (Lenton) well done guys, we'll see you on the finals night at Boat & Horses on Tuesday 24th MarchNOTTINGHAM CENTRAL DARTS LADIES: Pride and CBI both take close wins to secure their places as first and second respectively.

Meanwhile division B sees what seems like a two horse race between Park Tavern

BEESTON, CHILWELL & DIST. DARTS and Nuthall to retain the top slot. At first glance it seems like they might if LADIES: Birchover cement their place more firmly at the top of the it wasn't for that true Clifton grit from the Sun Valley gals which has seen league after beating close rivals Boat (Lenton) in a closely fought match them take their last two matches in an astounding 6-1 victory with one of before emerging with a 4-3 victory. Close at heel is Boat & Horses who, those being White horse, which is no mean feat in itself. Although they despite a 4 point deficit on the leaders, closed the leg difference to just 2 have been a steady third for most part of the first half, that gap is now legs with a tremendous 5-2 win over Inham Nook. Although the Nook is a starting to close, keep it up Sun Valley, game on.newbie side they have more than proved themselves as formidable Report by Paul G Lacey.

rivals Coventry on Sunday night. The final scoreline of 1-3 included a late empty-net strike for the visitors who came from behind after Matthew Myers dived to poke home short-handed for the only goal of a blistering first period which saw the home side outshoot their visitors two to one. But the tide turned in favour of the Blaze in the second and two goals, the first on the powerplay and the second after a giveaway proved to be enough. That was the first period Blaze had won against Nottingham in ten, but proved decisive. GMB Panthers sorely missed their two sharpshooters, Johan Molin and David Clarke. Panthers were the only side at the top of the standings to drop points on the weekend. Leaders Sheffield won again in Edinburgh (2-5) and Belfast won in Basingstoke (1-7). Other results saw Hull beat Newcastle (4-2) and Manchester beat Cardiff (2-0). Corey Neilson said after his side went down to the Blaze : "The effort was there but it is hugely disappointing. We missed Clarkey and Johan, if they'd been on the end of some of the opportunities we created, especially in the first, it might have been a different story. We refuse to give up on anything, but obviously it is a dent to our hopes." Corey will review the weekend and fans can anticipate some announcements during the coming week from the club.

ran in a try from this for the visitors to which Tonks added the extra points. The lapse in concentration punished with clinical efficiency. The half finished 11 points to 7 in favour of Doncaster as Jamie Lennard coolly slotted over a penalty in extra time. The Knights had won the forward battle from beginning to end, but the defensive line of Nottingham had weathered the storm in tiring conditions. Almost from the off strong running Tongan centre Hudson Tonga'uiha powered in to place the posts, with Jamie Lennard converting and the game seemed ready to run away from Nottingham. This pivotal point of the game swung back to a balance due to some cool defence from the visitors. Having managed to take the sting out the Knights attacking play in the first half, Nottingham stuck to their task of a 15 man defence until they once again they profited from a Doncaster error. A poorly timed catch by the usually unshakeable Carter left Nottingham's Taylor with an open gate to a try, and the conversion by Tonks had the game at an 18-14 score line. The score not reflecting the match dominance by Doncaster, but highlighting the pride in what was at stake for both sides. On the 64th minute the sharp passing of , desparate to make up for his perceived error earlier, hit Jamie Lennard with a pass that left the Fly Half facing a gap in the visitors line. With work left to do Lennard crossed the try line and added the final try of the game to his points total, and then included the resulting conversion to his statistics. This gave the Knights breathing space, but a tough Nottingham side still refused to roll over for the Knights forwards and their refusal to be overpowered meant the game finished at that Doncaster 25-14 Nottingham score line. The intensity with which the game was played boiled over after 80 minutes, although sensible refereeing from the man in the middle cooled the situation and left both sides with a full complement of players until the final whistle.

Doncaster 25Nottingham 14

Nottingham failed to record a victory away at Doncaster for the third consecutive season on Saturday losing 25-14, leaving the two teams level in the head to head stakes this season. The completion of the De Mulder-Lloyd stand at Castle Park seeming to echo the feeling of a completed team on the field that seems no longer a work in progress. Doncaster Knights dominated the game throughout and were deserved winners. Almost from the off The South Yorkshire side displayed their determination to play positively as Scrum half Hallam played in Wes Davies to score in the first significant open play of the game. Five points to the good Doncaster were dominating the forward contest that was key to the victory. The forwards battle raged for the next 20 minutes, with a busy referee penalising Nottingham for regularly jumping over the maul and holding on. Strong forward play by Doncaster, skipper Glen Kenworthy especially, kept Nottingham at bay, the 24th minute penalty by Jamie Lennard a result of the strong scrimmaging on show from the Armthorpe rd team. Nottingham's forwards seemed constantly on the back foot, as the front five of Doncaster swept up almost every ball and showed a fierce concentration. 34 mins into the game Nottingham finally get a meaningful attack, after an uncharacteristically mistimed pass from Hallam left Lennard with little chance, Alex Dodge

Cardiff Devils 3Nottingham Panthers 5With the GMB Nottingham Panthers battling throughout they took the points with a gritty road performance in Cardiff thanks to a 3-5 victory on Saturday night. Kevin Bergin went at it with Voth at the opening face-off and there was more rough stuff along the way. Bergy came out of the box and then scored on a powerplay to open the scoring in the ninth minute and Bruce Richardson doubled the lead before the end of the first period. Devils got one back on the powerplay before Matthew Myers scored on another powerplay to restore the two-goal cushion before the second break. Devils again reduced the deficit before Dan Tessier fired home on yet another powerplay and Matthew's second in the 53rd minute increased the lead. Devils scored the last goal of the game in the 54th minute to leave GMB Panthers coach Corey Neilson praising his side for a great team effort in which they refused to be intimidated. Elsewhere all the top teams won and there was high drama at Coventry. Leaders Sheffield won at Edinburgh (0-4), Belfast beat bottom club Basingstoke in overtime (5-4) and Coventry came from two goals down with less than thirty seconds to go to equalise with their goalie pulled at home to Manchester and then scored the winner in overtime (7-6). Newcastle scored the only goal of the third period to beat Hull (3-2).
