Matlock
& District Football League
Press round up by chairman Drew Robertson from Saturday, 7 November, 20009,
or how the clubs saw it!
Kings
reign over penalty mad Shirland
Kings
Arms upset the Matlock & District Football League form book on Saturday
in a 2-1 victory that left Shirland Miners Welfare extremely disgruntled.
It
was after the break, following a fairly quiet Crich first half, that the
deadlock was broken and sparks flew when referee Peter Bailey booked a Shirland
player for a push in the back resulting in a penalty, fired into the top
of the net by Scott Gregory.
Fuelled
up by this decision, Shirland pushed on and were rewarded with the equaliser
through Ian Hursthouse, but it was Kings who took the win with a great strike
by Peter Berrisford.
Darley
Dale Lions went back top of the league with a 5-3 away win against Matlock
Town Youth. It was striker Aaron OĠNeill who was on target again with a
brace, matched by Matthew Scott and added to by a single strike from Ashley
Webster. Matlock goals came from Scott Martin (2) and Lewis Mason.
AFC
Lea Holloway strengthened their fifth place in the league with a hard-fought
victory against a creative Ashbourne, battling back from behind twice with
Dave Meredith and Phil Clones goals from the visitors.
Inspirational
Shaun Bott ran onto a Dave Whitford ball, slotting it past the on-rushing
keeper, for the first equaliser and then turned provider for Nigel EmbertonĠs
brave clip past the keeper.
It
was a fine edge-of-the-box strike from Adam Pearson that earned the spoils,
together with some solid defending to keep Ashbourne at bay until the final
whistle.
With
club captain Brian Owen back from injury and Kieran Griffiths switching
from Matlock Town Youth, Harveys Bar took all three points with a 4-1 away
win against Riddings Rovers.
Early
on in the game David Armshaw's flick found Colin Maycock who raced through
and put Harveys 1-0 up after ten minutes and the second coming from some
good work by Martyn Taylor and a cross which was buried by Griffiths.
Riddings,
who earlier missed a penalty, got back into the game after the break with
a spot kick from Adrian Clarke but minutes later Harveys bagged a third
which came when Craig Cantrill crossed to find Tom Woodhouse who scored
with a bullet header. Woodhouse then finished with ease after a swift counter-attack.
Tibshelf
Community were the other winners of the day with a 2-1 result against Laburnum
Saints, who took a 1-0 Andy Clifton lead into half-time against a youthful
home team.
Tired
legs and giving the ball away cost Saints dear as Tibshelf got on top and
scored after 60 and 80 minutes with goals from John Hart and Dan Bacon.
Hilcote
United, based across the county border in Huthwaite, were 4-0 winners against
East Drayton in the Notts Minor Cup to reach the third round.
Five
teams will be in Derbyshire Junior Cup North action this weekend the games
to catch on Saturday (14 November, 2009) are AFC Lea Holloway v Youlgrave
United, Laburnum Saints v Pinxton North End, Darley Dale Lions v Tideswell
United, Wirksworth Town v Matlock Town Youth, Shirland Miners Welfare v
