Stanton Ilkeston v Kimberley Town CML Premier Division



Arrrggghhh....fourth game in 5 days .......................and it was bloody cold again!!

Apparently Stanton have been a bit of an easy touch lately, but a makeshift Kimberley side found them much too hot to handle. This had been billed as the last game ever on this ground, but it would be a waste, because with a few bob spent on it this could be a decent set-up.













Only about 20 people in attendance - UEFA cup final / Hull v Watford looked more attractive to me as well, but Kev's former colleague is still in Town and he needed to get out of his hotel room... any excuse!!!!!


Stanton were not expected to win this encounter, but Kimberley were poor - I know it was a team scratched together, but even they will admit they were below par..


Stanton took the lead on 17, a defence splitting pass finding no. 11 who calmly slotted home. In the 21st minute the home team doubled their advantage - a header from no. 9 after the keeper had pushed a shot onto the bar. H-T 2-0


It was 3-0 on 67, the no. 10 jacket strolling through a static Kimberley defence before rounding the keeper and firing home. 2 minutes later no. 6 made it 4-0 and it was 5-0 when no. 11 crashed the ball home in the 85th minute. With the final kick of the game no.10 added his second, Stanton's 6th... F-T 6-0


Sorry about being so vague ref the scorers... I have no idea who was who on the pitch !!


This was far from being a classic, with both teams seemingly happy just to get the fixture out of the way... still, another night out, another 6 goals...that is 23 goals in the last 4 games - can't be bad!!


£2 to get in, £1 for a programme - this was stapled all over the place -- with sheets added after final assembly I think....


FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON -- Saturday we get to see Kimberley again - this time at home to Newark Flowserve. We saw Flowserve get hammered 7-0 at Sutton last week - we have just seen Kimberley lose 6-0 -- what's the odds on a goal-less draw on Saturday!!!!

I must appoloigse for our performance it was a disgrace but when you have a very weak side out this is what will happen.

Should be a stronger side come Saturday and your programme has been saved!!!

I expected better - we saw KImberley beat Blidworth earlier in the season -- this was nowhere near the team that played in that game....

See you Saturday
