Shirland scorers: I. Hursthouse. Penatlies P. Hardy, R. Harrison, S. Wright
and I. Hursthouse
At the sixth attempt
to play this game, Shirland travelled to Woolley Moor United with hope of
progressing to the quarter-final of the derbyshire cup.
On
a pitch that was supposed to be waterlogged and totally unplayable conditions
were perfect and passed fit to play on by the referee at 9.30am Saturday
morning.
Both
teams started very slow and you could tell that these guys had not played
for ten weeks, but as the game went on Shirland became more organised.
For
long stages in the first half Shirland toiled against their opponents but
when it mattered they always had that extra ingredient to keep Woolley Moor
United at bay. When Shirland play they want to entertain, concentrate on
their game and show everyone that they can compete with better players from
higher leagues – and Shirland did that, with the Derbyshire Cup being
the perfect stage to prove this.
The
first goal came when Shirland's keeper Daz Shaw rounded an on-coming Woolley
Moor player, went passed him with the ball only to be bought down with a
nasty challenge, the
opposing player continued with the ball and put it into the back of the
net. Daz shaw received treatment for a full five minutes and couldn't stand
when lifted but continued in goal until half-time.
The
goal stood as the referee stated that he didn't see the foul, a respected
officially who was watching the game said that the goal should not have
stood as it was a clear foul on the Shirland player.
The
second half saw Shirland battle for every ball with Richard Hill standing
out the most in defence with a fantastic display.
Shirland's
goal came from Ian Hursthouse, his movement intelligent and natural. His
physical presence was too strong for Woolley Moor and his goal showed instinct
and calm.
With
one minute left on the clock injured keeper Shaw pulled off a superb reflex
save to send the tie into extra-time. The end result was penalties which
Shirland won 4-2 after two more fantastic saves by keeper Shaw. Goals
came from Paul Hardy, Richard Harrison, Steven Wright and Ian Hursthouse.
Keeper
Daz Shaw was so badly injured by the tackle which resulted in Woolley Moor's
goal he had to be taken to hospital Sunday morning.
Everyone
at Shirland Miners Welfare would like to wish Daz a speedy recovery!

victory earns quarter-finals slot

Matlock & District
Football League's Shirland Miners Welfare marched into the quarter-finals
of the Derbyshire Junior Cup North with a 4-2 penalties victory against
Woolley Moor United.
It
was the sixth attempt to play this game and despite the perfect conditions,
both teams started slowly due to the long enforced weather lay-off. For
long stages in the first-half Shirland toiled against their opponents but
when it mattered they found that extra ingredient to keep Woolley Moor United
at bay.
It
was a controversial goal that seperated the teams at half-time, when Shirland's
keeper Daz Shaw was fouled by an on-rushing striker who netted home while
Shaw lay injured on the ground. Despite needing five minutes treatment,
the goal stood.
After
the break Shirland battled for every ball with Richard Hill standing out
the most in defence with a fantastic display.
Shirland's
goal came from Ian Hursthouse whose movement was intelligent and natural.
His physical presence was too strong for Woolley Moor and his goal showed
instinct and calm.
With
one minute left on the clock injured keeper Shaw pulled off a superb reflex
save to send the tie into extra-time, which ended in stalemate. Goals came
from Paul Hardy, Richard Harrison, Steven Wright and Ian Hursthouse coupled
with great saves from keeper Shaw to earn the 4-2 penatlies victory.
The
weather played a role with a host of games called off, but in the only Manor
Pharmacy Shield encounter Darley Dale Lions were knocked out by Hilcote
United in a 4-2 away defeat. Darley goals came from Ashley Webster and Liam
Keeton, while Hilcote reap their rewards thanks to Ant Butler, Dean Guy
and Daniel Noakes (2) strikes.
Six
Matlock Town Youth goals grabbed the three League points against Haveys
Bar. It was a hat-trick for Scott Martin whose first added to a Harveys
own goal to go into the break 2-0 up. He bagged a brace in the second-half
while Tom Jackson and Alex Crossley got on the scoresheet before Martyn
Taylor netted for the visitors.
Manor
Pharmacy action this weekend (30 January, 2010) sees Kings Arms v Black
Hippo, Laburnum Saints v Tibshelf Community, Shirland Miners Welfare v Riddings
Rovers, while league games include Ashbourne v AFC Lea Holloway, Matlock
Town Youth v Hilcote United and Harveys v Darley Dale Lions.
