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.

SMEDLEY AT THE DOUBLE

Notts Senior League
Senior Division
BEESTON AFC 1 COTGRAVE FC 2

As Cotgrave will be celebrating three points to a last minute winner, Beeston will be left wondering how on earth they didn't get anything out of this game.
 
Before Kick off, a minutes silence was observed for Nottinghamshire FC Treasurer Colin Spencer who sadly passed away last weekend.
 
The game began at a slow pace, with the visitors on the front foot but not many chances being created and on a heavy pitch, things seemed to be a bit if a struggle with very little flowing football being played.
 
After 15 minutes, BEN SMEDLEY followed up after the home keeper had pushed away a shot and put the visitors 1-0 in front.
 
After 22 minutes, JASON JUDE saw the visiting keeper off his line and lobbed home the equaliser from 25 yards.
 
I was glad of my half tome cuppa which my wife Hazel made as she helped out in the Beeston FC tea bar, as at present Tom Richardson is struggling to keep the club alive by himself .
 
Straight from kick off in the Second Half, the homesters were awarded a free kick on the penalty box line, as a player was bought down when going through in goal, the referee booked the opposing player. The resulting free kick flew over the bar and the chance was gone.
 
The Second Half was a lot more exciting than the first with both sides going close, with the game going from box to box.
 
As the game entered injury time and everyone looking at their watches, Cotgrave broke and the ball broke to BEN SMEDLEY to slot home the winner.

Many thanks to Tom Richardson of Beeston AFC for the kind donation towards the Blogs Charity and the goals scored today raises the total to £445.25
