Having scouted round the websites looking for games after the Notts Senior League had finished, there were very few left, but came across this fixture and with it not being too far away from Mansfield, this fitted the bill. I'd never ventured in to the Grantham & District League and also missed Barrowby FC whilst they had a short stay in the CMFL.
On my way to hospital yesterday morning, I had a phone call from Buxton Hopper Ian Oldfield who asked if I was still going to the match and then asked if I would like a lift, so at midday today Ian picked me up and we headed to Barrowby near Grantham.
On arrival we was met by Geoff who was shocked to see us two at the ground and whilst e set up, we went down to the village pub before getting back to the ground.
We was greeted by the League Secretary/Treasurer Vicki and committee member Bob and todays Referee Tony Sharrock, who kindly gave me the team line up's just before kick off.
The game kicked off at a frantic page with both sides looking to break the deadlock and both having early attacks, but it was FC Blue Pig who took the lead after 6 minutes when DANNY HENSON beat the offside trap and slotted the ball home. Within 3 minutes, the scores were level, when MARTIN WORMALL scored from an acute angle past the keeper.
Ancaster then seemed to have the majority of the play winning a lot in the midfield area and after 36 minutes, after a scramble in the Blue Pig six yard box, JORDAN STINSON squeezed the ball in to the net. As half time was approaching Blue Pig wasn't giving up and a high cross from the left found out LEE RADFORD who headed over the outcoming keeper to make it 2-2.
The Second Half I stood chatting to Ian Hughes of the United Counties League, whilst the game was getting in to a few rough and tumble tackles with Referee Tony Sharrock doing well keeping a lid on things. After 62 minutes, it was Ancaster who made the breakthrough when KEN DOLL fired his side into a 3-2 lead. Blue Pig weren't going down without a fight and after 73 minutes, LEE RADFORD scored his second of the game and levelled things up at 3-3.
Ancaster then began to find spaces behind the Blue Pig back four and on 79 minutes, MARTIN WORMALL put his side in to a 4-3 lead. After 84 minutes, a silly incident by a Blue Pig player saw him receive his Second Yellow Card of the game and so making his clubs a touch more difficult. As people were looking at their watches, it was that man again MARTIN WORMALL who finished the scoring with his hat trick and he secured the cup victory for Ancaster Rams FC.
