Ollerton Town v Eastwood Town -- Notts F.A. Senior Cup final






zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...... oops... fell asleep again -- thought I was still at Meadow Lane!!!

Notts F.A.'s showpiece final turned out to be probably the worst game of the 74 we have seen this season...


Two goals from Eastwood's Matt Rhead (18th and 24th minutes) effectively killed this game dead.

The first goal came after Shaw won the ball, Hanson crossed for Rhead to tap in from 2 yards..scuffed it a bit, but they all count. The other goal was a shot from just outside the box, that MOM, Ollerton keeper Morris let slip under his body. Ollerton had nothing to offer and Eastwood had nothing else to do but play out the remaining time before collecting their trophy.

Chips were cold - programme was just a £0.50p colour team sheet. The bloke on the PA struggled all evening with a dodgy mike -- coming across like Norman Collier every time he made an announcement . Mind you, he was a bit daft - he said on TWO occasions that it had been a great game!! Just what have they been watching at Meadow Lane this season?????

This is the first time I have heard Kev say he had had enough and wanted to go home before the end of the game --- he was unlucky though -- I was driving tonight and I won't pay £5 and not watch the whole 90 minutes!!

Fantastic navigation job by Kev on the way home - I am hopeless driving in Nottingham but Kev knows the city centre roads well -- a lot of driving to and from the City Ground in his past.....

Sorry about the lack of detail about the match....but it really it was rubbish. But, well done to the Badgers anyway -- UniBond League Cup winners, Notts FA senior Cup winners and 4th place in the league -- great season.....

Had a chat to former F.A. Secretary Mick Kilbee, not seen him for a couple of years.

Saturday -- CML Premier

Sutton Town AFC v Newark Flowserve ( match 75)
