Press Round-up
Manor
Pharmacy Shield
Saints
and Kings Manor Pharmacy wins
Laburnum
2 Tishelf Community 0
Scorers: M. Warren and P. Denton
After an extended Christmas
break, Laburnum Saints met Tibself Community in the freezing cold on Dimple
Fields.
Laburnum
won the game through determination and experience with a defence marshalled
by Michael Charlton and policed by Simon Bunting and Dan Killick. Tibshelf
were reduced to only two chances in the game.
Playing
on the break Pete Denton and Matthew Warren always threatened and it was
no surprise when the Saints went ahead with Warren finishing off an end-to-end
move begun by the excellence of Killick.
The
game was effectively won when Denton was put through by Warren after a period
of pressure by the young Tibshelf side. All in all this was a game the Saints
deserved to win, helped in no small part by great performances from Martin
Carson and Chris Slack, in the heart of the midfield, and solid performances
from Charlton, Killick and Bunting.

Kings
Arms 3 Harveys Bar 2
Kings Arms scorers : C. Merrett (2), D. Mason
Black Hippo scorer: T. Parfit
Kings were on top in
the first half and ended the period 2-0 up with two goals from Craig Merrett.
But
the home side Kings came out slowly after the break and Hippo took advantage
with a screaming goal over the keeper's head by Tom Parfit.
Kings
regained their two gaol advantage with a goal from Darryl Mason and looked
to have the tie in the bag, until Parfit stepped up again for his second
goal of the game. Kings just held on against a very determined Black Hippo
– final score 3-2.
Laburnum Saints, Kings
Arms and Hilcote United are through to the semi-finals with the fourth berth
being taken by the winners of

Bott
and Godfrey braces earn draw
Ashbourne
2 AFC Lea Holloway 2
Ashbourner scorers: M. Warren. Holloway scorer: S. Bott
AFC Lea Holloway came
away from Ashbourne with a well-earned point to keep their unbeaten league
run going, although they can be disappointed not to have won the game despite
playing the entire game with only ten players.
Ashbourne's
advantage was hardly noticeable with stand-in centre half Adam Pearson and
Karl Taylor defending well. The home side took the lead through Ian Godfrey
who capitalised on a rebound.
Holloway
equalised ten minutes later, Shaun Bott running onto Nigel Emberton's flick
on to slot past the keeper.
The
visitors took the lead within five minutes of the restart, Bott simply couldn't
miss after robbing the ball from keeper Liam Rogersand tapping into an open
goal. The home side put Holloway under intense pressure but good defending
from all limited them to long range shots which didn't trouble the away
keeper Andrew Bird.
Ashbourne
equalised two minutes from time, Godfrey back-heeling in following a goalmouth
scramble.

Round-up
Keeton
hat-trick helps extend DarleyŐs lead at the top
30
January, 2010
Darley Dale Lions extended
their lead at the top of Matlock & District Football League thanks to a
hat-trick from Liam Keeton to earn a 4-0 victory against Harveys Bar.
It
was a tight first half with Lions only taking control after the break when
they deservedly took the lead with a long-range strike from Keeton, who
scored two more similar efforts to secure his man of the match performance.
Martin French scored the other following a good move down the left from
Mark Ashton and Wez Harrop.
This
gives Darley a four-point cushion over Shirland Miners Welfare, who were
again frustrated with their Derbyshire Junior Cup North quarter-final clash
at Holmefield called off.
In
the only other league encounter AFC Lea Holloway's midfielder maestro Shaun
Bott grabbed a brace to earn a 2-2 draw over Ashbourne.
Despite
Holloway playing the entire game with only ten players, Ashbourne's advantage
was hardly noticeable with stand-in centre half Adam Pearson and Karl Taylor
defending well.
The
home side took the lead through Ian Godfrey who capitalised on a rebound
only for Holloway to equalised ten minutes later, Bott running onto Nigel
Emberton's flick to slot past keeper Liam Rogers.
Holloway
took the lead within five minutes of the restart, Bott simply couldn't miss
after robbing the ball from keeper Rogers and tapping into an open goal.
The
home side put Holloway under intense pressure but good defending from all
limited them to shots which didnŐt trouble the away keeper Andrew Bird.
Ashbourne
equalised two minutes from time, Godfrey back-heeling in following a goalmouth
scramble.
Manor
Pharmacy Shield action saw Kings Arms Kings on top in the first half with
two goals from Craig Merrett.
It
was a screaming goal over the keeper's head by Tom Parfit that gave Black
Hippo hope after the break, but Kings regained their two-goal advantage
with a goal from Darryl Mason. This looked to have the tie in the bag until
Parfit stepped up again for his second goal of the game. Kings held on to
win 3-2 against a gutsy, determined Black Hippo.
In
the other Shield encounter Laburnum Saints beat Tibshelf Community through
determination and experience with a defence marshalled by Michael Charlton
and policed by Simon Bunting and Dan Killick. Tibshelf were reduced to only
two chances in the game.
Playing
on the break Pete Denton and Matthew Warren always threatened and it was
no surprise when the Saints went ahead with Warren finishing off an end-to-end
move begun by the excellence of Killick.
The
game was effectively won when Denton was put through by Warren after a period
of pressure by the young Tibshelf side.
Saints'
deserved win was thanks to great performances from Martin Carson and Chris
Slack in the heart of the midfield and solid work from Charlton, Killick
and Bunting who earned his sideŐs man of the match. Tibshelf's Jordan Adams
shone for his team.
