NOTTS TEAMS HIT FORM AS THEY STORM UP

November and December are proving to be very good months for Nottinghamshire FC.

Now that the three teams have settled into a regular pattern of competing and working together, the results have started to improve and confidence has soared as the points have begun to roll in.

In League points that is 43 out of a possible 60, an extremely impressive return that is moving Notts' teams into some high league positions.

The First team are on a run of five straight wins and they are replicating the impressive run of form they had last season which took them to the MAA Senior Cup Final.They began the season at the bottom of the Premier Division, but they are now turning heads as they motor up the division.

The Reserves too have been equally as impressive, and are on a six game winning streak at the time of going to press which has taken them up to third place in the league. What has been heartening has been that the side has suffered injuries to several key players but they are still churning out good results despite various
re-shuffles.

Scoring goals is coming very easily to the Reserves at present, and if they can keep their defence tight at the back, they could still possibly challenge for the top two places in the new year.

The Threes have shown less impressive form, but they are more than holding their own in Division Two and if they can win on a more consistent basis, they too will surely climb into a higher league position.The Threes have shown that they can live with the best teams in the league when they have the right attitude and there is no reason for them not to think that they can't be as successful as the other two teams currently are.

Let's all hope that Notts can continue to build on this good form and carry it into 2002. Remember all three teams are in the Quarter Finals of the MAA Cups and are only TWO games away from cup finals.

Bring 'em on!!
