NOTTS MADE HARD WORK OUT OF IT
Well, the second game was away and people turn up late
because they were in the bookies, phoning Speno in Majorca
or Geordie giving them a lift. So Colin gave us a bollocking
for training, manners and anything else he could think of.
But as usual Colin told us the tactics and the team selection.
We got changed, warmed up and got our heads on the game.
The game was about to begin, we were playing on Wollaton's
first team pitch it was flat wide and quite small. The ref
blew his whistle and the game started. Both Notts and Wollaton
were evenly matched and ten minutes into the game both teams
had their chances but Wollaton had to make a sub because
one of their defenders had injured himself.
After a few comments from Marcus to the ref the ref had
a quiet word. Minutes later Marcus scored 1-0 Notts.
The ball was chipped thru from Atko and Marcus took one
touch and buried the ball into the far corner with his left
foot. Wollaton kicked off and the Notts midfield got the
ball and laid it to Atko who pushed a ball thru to Marcus
who turned on the ball inside the box and blasted the ball
near post 2-0 Notts.
Notts were in command of the game and Wollaton kicked off
again and by this time Marcus was running the Wollaton defence
ragged crossing balls high and low eventually Notts got
a corner. Willo hit the ball hard and low the Wollaton defender
got there first and cleared it as far as Adey who drilled
a shot from 30 yards only to see the keeper spill it and
then catch it again. The keeper booted it up field and Wollaton
managed to get a free kick. The Wollaton midfield hit the
ball hard and low it deflected off Marcus' boot thru Mitch's
legs and straight to there forward and he scored Dave had
no chance appeals for offside were not given after the ref
spoke to Geordie 2-1 Notts, ref blew for halftime.
Colin was still happy at this point and he said, "I
would have been happy if we came in 1-0, 2-1 is still good
and be careful in the first 15 minutes". The second
half began and within five minutes they had scored 2-2.
The ball bounced awkwardly in front of Mitch and the attacker
was first to the loose ball and blasted it in between Dave's
legs MEGS.
Notts kick off and got straight back to business looking
for another goal and they got it 10 minutes later after
the newly promoted Richard Shaw jinked is way into the box
and got a penalty. Willo stepped up and buried it into the
bottom right hand corner and the keeper dived the wrong
way 3-2 Notts.
Colin made two subs taking off Dicko and Atko and putting
on Jay and John. Wollaton kicked off and they were still
trying to get some think out of the game Marcus and Willo
was trying hard to score another but the Wollaton keeper
was stopping everything. Wollaton went on a counter attack
but Dave got the ball and took a quick kick out of his hands
and the Wollaton defender blatantly handled the ball in
his own box but the ref gave a free kick until he asked
there lineman who said it was a penalty. Willo let Marcus
step up to get his hat trick and Marcus buried into the
bottom left corner 4-2 Notts.
Wollaton made a sub and immediately he made an impact on
the game. He left Ruddy enough times and eventually got
a penalty from whacking the ball onto his own hand but the
ref thought it came off Rudd's. Wollaton slotted the penalty
home 4-3 Notts and that's how it ended.
