Match Report

Three Points And We Could Go Second

Well, Notts knew this was going to be a hard game because when we played them in the quarterfinal it took us 120 minutes to win them.

So Colin talked about how to go at the game if we want to beat them in 90 minutes so we listen and went out.

It was another windy day and impossible to play football at times, the ref blew the whistle to start the game.

Ashland got off to a lively start create a few chances but, Notts was defending well. Notts were just getting back in the game when a flowing move from Ashland but them into the lead 1-nil Ashland with about 25 minutes on the clock.

That how it finished in the first half with Notts having one shot on goal the ref blew the whistle for half time.

In the second half with the wind Notts, they started to excel and after some heavy pressure got a goal thru a unlikely source called Chris Westerbury. Edwards did a long kick out of his hand and Hall flicked it on with his shoulder in the path of Chris who headed it forward and ran clear thru into the box and struck the ball across the keeper into the far corner.

The score all level at one all and Notts started to apply pure pressure onto Ashland. Colin made a sub by taking of Willo and put on Rosy and soon after Rudd skip pass one player and then another and crossed the ball that beat both keeper and Hall and Rosy step up to score and kick thin air and missed the ball completely.

Soon after Notts got a throwing and Marcus took it quickly to Rudd, who glided into the box only for a defender to foul in the box PENATLY.

Jay Culligan step up and blasted the ball into the back of the net beating the keeper with ease 2-1 Notts.

The Ref blew the final whistle soon after, cheers three points.
