A BIT ABOUT THE CHARITY BLOG


Each year, me and my wife Hazel have decided to help a Charity, by donating 25p every goal we see at the matches we attend. Over the years, people and clubs have also donated as we have visited the grounds and we have raised over £2,300 in the 3 seasons we have run the Blog.
During the 2014-15 season, we are supporting "Support Dogs" who train Dogs to transform lives of people with Autism and other disabilities. So if you would like to make a donation(no matter how small) and you see me at a match, please come up to me or Hazel, we would be very grateful. All Donators will get a mention on the blog.

QUICK FIRE ASPLEY INTO QUARTER FINALS

NOTTS SENIOR LEAGUE
SENIOR CUP
FC SAMBA 2 ASPLEY PARK FC 6
 
After Ashland Rovers game was cancelled due to the heavy snow had on Wednesday and the pitch not fit, it was set for plan B as I needed to be back home early due to it being Hazel my wife's birthday so we could go out for a evening family meal, so with FC Samba's 2nd Round Senior League Cup tie kicking off at 1.30pm this fitted the bill.
 
Just before kick off I was joined by the joint managers of Sherwood Colliery Reserves FC, Scott Thorpe Ive known as a friend for some years now. Referee Steve Seers kindly handed me the home line up and then I found the Aspley Sec Les Tebbutt for theirs.
 
The game kicked off and straight away a ball was played forward and landed at the feet of GARY HARRIS who lifted the ball over the home keeper after just 31 SECONDS!!
 
It was GARY HARRIS who doubled his sides lead after just 6 minutes and the tie looked as if it was all over. On 23 minutes, SAM MANNION fired a long distance shot to make it 3-0 to Aspley Park.
 
FC Samba didn't give up and on 28 minutes, and a quick cross from the right wing by LEIGH HELSDON  took a deflection and ended up in the net to reduce the arrears to 1-3. On 31 minutes, we had a game on when MARC GREEN fired his team to within a goal.
 
After 40 minutes, RYAN DEABILL scrambled home from close range to make it 4-2 to Aspley Park.
 
The Second Half belonged to Aspley Park as the homesters failed to get out their own half, and it came as a surprise that the away team had to wait so long before they scored again, but they did when SEAN GREEN turned in the 6 yard box and poked the ball home after 71 minutes.
 
Aspley Park wrapped up the scoring in the 84th minute, when LEWIS McGOOGGAN scored close home.
