Matlock
& District Football League
reports from Saturday, 14 November, 20009
Clubs are
failing to send in reports, so here is our Press Round-up
Weather
plays havoc with matches
It
was mixed fortunes for Matlock & District League teams as the autumn rain
and wind took its toll on the Derbyshire Junior Cup North second round.
Unfortunately,
it saw the energetic Matlock Town Youth defeated 3-0 away from home in a
scoreline that flattered Wirksworth Town from the Premier League of the
Midlands Regional Alliance.
Two
goal-line clearances, plus a sending off for Wirksworth, was indication
that it was a closer affair and it was Matlock hit on the break for the
third that sealed this tie. Shirland Miners Welfare went 5-0 in the first
half, courtesy of goals from Dale Hegarty (2), Ian Hursthouse (2) and Gus
Brown, against Holmfield Arms.
With
Shirland losing three midfielders due to injuries in a ten minute spell
after the break, the visitors got four back in the last 15 minutes to make
it a tense affair. It was the weather that defeated AFC Lea Holloway, Laburnum
Saints and Darley Dale Lions with unfit pitches forcing their ties to be
switched to this Saturday (21 November, 2009).
League
clashes saw Riddings Rovers beat Ashbourne 4-3 in an entertaining encounter
at Ironville, with the winner scored by formidable super sub Ricky Ashmore
who came off the bench in the second half to bag a wonder goal Š prompting
players to pile on top of him in delight. Riddings' other goals came from
David Robinson (2) and Arthur Gugala against a stronger than usual Ashbourne,
with the visitorÕs goals coming from Chris Keeling and a brace from David
Meredith.
Black
Hippo managed five home goals, but were losers against an ever improving
Hilcote United. Tom JacksonÕs Hippo hat-trick included a spot kick, Jamie
Uphill netted one and Toby Rice scored within minutes of coming off the
bench in the second half.
Three
competitions are alive this week. With fixtures called off last weekend,
Derbyshire Junior Cup North games include AFC Lea Holloway v Youlgrave United,
Laburnum Saints v Pinxton North End and Darley Dale Lions v Tideswell United.
In the Manor Pharmacy Shield first round Kings Arms v Matlock Town Youth
and Shirland Miners Welfare v Harveys Bar. League games are Tibshelf Community
v Black Hippo and Riddings Rovers v Hilcote United. .
