Sutton Town AFC 7-0 Newark Flowserve -- CML Premier Division















The "bearded wonder" and Sutton Manager Danny Bryant
( which one is concentrating on the game? )

Big lad !!
Very big!!

As a contest, this was over after 15 minutes... that's how long it took Sutton to hit three goals past one of the widest goalkeepers we have ever seen!!
Apparently the Newark regular keeper has been out injured for a while - and Sutton took full advantage of the fact that the replacement struggled to deal with anything they hit at him.

We had to wait until the 11th minute for Town to open the scoring, James Senior crashing a right foot shot past the hapless keeper.
4 minutes later, the same player had a try from 22 yards with his left foot - same result.

On 16, Lane netted after the keeper ( surprise, surprise ) failed to hold on to a long range effort.
It was 4-0 after 36, a header looping slowly over the keeper -- he tried to get to it, bless him, but jumping was never going to be an option for him!! A 30 yard free-kick ended the first half scoring. H-T 5-0
More evenly contested start to the second period, but the heat was telling on everyone -- blimey, it was hot!!

It took 20 minutes for the Snipes to add to their total Luke Shiels belting one past the "big lad" from the edge of the box. The same player added the 7th with 5 minutes to go - a lovely move ended with a superb right wing cross and a classy diving header. F-T 7-0

Great day out in the sunshine... Danny Bryant has high hopes for his young team - they will finish fourth in the League at worst - should be enough to earn them promotion to the Supreme Division.


Tuesday night -- we were supposed to go to watch Blidworth v Calverton, but Sutton made such an impression on us both, that we may end up at the Fieldings again to see them take on League Champions Ollerton Town.. we'll see.....
