Match Report

There You Go Colin

After knocking Cavaliers out of the cup, Colin said to his men 'that we need to concentrate on the league until after Christmas'.

Colin said that we need to get seven points out of nine if we want a chance of finishing in the top third of the league. So Colin started with the team that got the deserved win again Cavaliers, which left Marcus on the sub bench.

Within about ten minutes Martin Swannell had given Notts the lead with a simple tap in and Notts were on the road for victory.

Twenty minutes later Dave makes a routine save with an attacker coming head on the attacker didn't stop and booted Dave in his head which left him with a gash on his head so his new wife took him off to the hospital.

Andy Dickinson had to go in goal and that meant that Marcus came on up front and Paul Atkinson went back into midfield.

The game re-started and not much happened apart from Paul Atkinson getting a yellow card.

The second half started with Notts as the stronger team. Paul Atkinson got the ball in his own half and sprayed it out to the left to Wrighty, Wrighty went past the fullback with ease and looked up and carried going down the wing and then crossed the best ball of his career between defender and goalkeeper and Marcus side-footed the ball home and it was 2-0.

The Game restarted and Willo tackled the forward and chipped the ball through to Marcus who took a shot as the keeper was running out only to hit the cross bar and Willo pick up the pieces and put the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0.

Woodborough kicked off again and their attack soon broke down once again and Notts came back with a counter-attack, which saw the ball in the back of the net only for the ref to say that Marcus was offside.

Then Woodborough's keeper did a long kick from which Speno flicked it back to Dicko who push it into his own net 3-1.

Notts kicked off and where pushing for another goal to kill the game off and then the ball came out to Marcus on the edge of the box who took on three guys and then crossed it with his left foot to Martin who scored his second of the match 4-1.

Woodborough's heads went down and Paul Rudd made a mazy run into the box only to get foul penalty.

Martin Swannell steps up for his first ever hat-trick at this level and scored. 5-1 to Notts and in the last 10 minutes Paul Atkinson got his second yellow of the match and was sent off.

Good Victory for Notts. 2nd victory in the league.
