Need A Win To Keep Up With Top Three
The match had to be moved to Gresham ground
because Notts pitch was unfit to play on so Bassingfield
was playing an away match at home so they were really geared
up for this seeing how they hadn't played for a couple
of weeks.
Colin said if we are to stand any chance of
finishing second in the league we need to win today.
The game kicked off and Notts started off lively
with the wind against them but Bassingfield looked a little
rusty. The first touch of some of their player was off to
where there could not even stop the ball. They got into
the game fairly quickly though and after Notts missed a
few chances with Marcus heading and shooting wide and Willo
heading a ball straight into the keepers hand Bassingfield
went one nil up after Dave Edwards went on a run about in
his box and Speno only half cleared Swannell's man
was left by himself with a simple tap in.
Notts kicked off but didn't manage to score
in the first half the ref blows the whistle.
Colin was happy with the progress with the team
but said that the strikers need to finish their chances
because it should have been at least 2-1 at half time and
that the Bassingfield team could not last for 90 minutes.
We went out for the second half and the action
began. Bassingfield started the way they finished the first
half on top and applying the pressure. Notts were over hitting
the ball with the wind on there side and expected the striker
to chase the ball.
Then we got a corner Willo crossed the ball
into the from right to the far post and Speno met it with
head and it was cleared off the line by the defender only
as far as Swannell who blasted the ball thru Marcus legs
into the back off the net one all.
After that Willo would go thru and miss, Marcus
would go thru and miss it seemed like it would be just a
one all draw but, Marcus conjured up a piece of magic and
twisted up Bassingfield defender and squared the ball to
Willo who placed it into the empty net 2-1 Notts.
After Willo scored to make it 2-1 Bassingfield
had no fight left and gave free kicks and corners away for
fun and from another Willo corner Jay got his head to this
cross and put it straight on to Marcus toe for a simple
tap in to make it 3-1.
Bassingfield kicked again and not for the last
time went on an attack only for Captain Stealth Mitch to
take the ball of f one of the forwards and bang the ball
up field for the first time in his career. Marcus ran straight
onto the ball from the halfway line and ran on goal with
a tired defender chasing shadows the the keeper ran out
and Marcus wait until the keeper made a move and kicked
the ball with the outside of his right boot and placed the
ball into the bottom right-hand corner of the net 4-1 to
Notts and game, set and match.
All subs were used and Ady Wilson nearly gave
a penalty away with his first and only touch.
