BEES BUZZ OFF TO BILSTHORPE  

On the move: Matrixgrade

To read all about their new home, visit my Matrixgrade page and the Matrixgrade website.

NSL Division One Matrixgrade Football Club have relocated. Despite intensive efforts to upgrade their previous home in Annesley  Woodhouse at the start of the season, the opportunity to relocate ten miles east at the Bilsthorpe Miners Welfare Sports Ground proved to great a temptation. The facilities were previously used by NAA side, Santos, and whilst not deemed of a high enough standard for Step 7 football, they would be acceptable for CML Premier football.

Visit the Notts Senior Cup page for all the stats & the Club's websites for match reports.

 

It has been a week for Yellows shirts in the Notts Senior Cup, with the Towns of Arnold, Gedling, Carlton & Hucknall and Gedling Miners Welfare, all seeing off lesser opposition. NSL side Wollaton succumbed 8-1 to Hucknall Town. Not surprising given the seven-division gap between the two, though they did manage to hold the Yellows to 2-1 at half time. Carlton Town hammered Sutton Town 8-0, Gedling Town saw off fellow NCEL side, Teversal, 2-0 and Arnold Town registered a rather flattering 5-1 derby victory against Calverton Miners Welfare. Gedling MW recorded an emphatic 5-0 win at Newark Flowserve. Also into the Quarter Final draw go Ollerton Town, who recorded a 3-2 over Radford at Selhurst Street and Southwell City, who recorded a thrilling 5-4 victory on penalties at Forest Town, after the two sides had fought out a 4-4 draw.

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER  

NSL: Expanding

Read more about this story on the Notts F.A. website

 

The Nottinghamshire Senior League has been permission by the Notts F.A. to run a third division. THe NSL are keen to become a pyramid league for Notts football, and the expansion is seen as part of the grand plan. Welcoming the move, Dick Durrant, the NSL�s Vice Chairman, stated �There are a lot of changes afoot above us on the pyramid, however, when we started the NSL it was one of our stated goals to provide a good standard of football within the county with good facilities so that the better local players would not have to play in leagues outside of Nottinghamshire if they didn�t want to". Concerns had been raised by the historic NAA & MAA that the move could damage their own leagues. However, NSL Secretary, Darrell Parkes, stated "We are very grateful to the NAA and MAA for putting the interests of Notts non-league football ahead of their own. We will only allow a maximum of two teams per season to join the NSL from each league. An agreement has also been reached that the NSL will not include third teams. The NAA and MAA see such sides as their lifeblood and we have no desire to see this threatened".

In the F.A.Vase, Gedling Town's interest came to an end, with a narrow 4-3 defeat at Studley.

ALMOST PERFECT  

 

For the local results & fixture details click here.

 

All three of our professional football sides entered the draw for the F.A.Cup Second Round, though Nottingham Forest still have some work to do. Mansfield and Notts County made light work of disposing of non-league sides Lewes and Histon respectively, whilst Forest struggled to an unconvincing 1-1 draw at Lincoln City. Mansfield and Notts will once again face non-league opposition, though Notts will be the most comforted with a home tie against Step 2 Havant & Waterlooville, who are in the second round for the first time in their short nine-year history. Meanwhile, the Stags face an awkward trip to the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, Step 4 Harrogate Railway Athletic. Forest will travel to Brentford or Luton Town, if they can overcome The Imps on 27 November.

SECOND BITE FOR BADGERS  

Scorer: Ryan Hindlay

For a full match report visit the Retford United website

Unibond Division One highfliers Retford United live to fight another day in this season's F.A.Trophy, following an impressive draw at Unibond Premier side, Fleetwood Town. By half time, a Steve Foster goal seemed to have Fleetwood cruising their way into the next round, as they had done in the previous round against North Notts outfit Worksop Town. However, the in-form Badgers fought back impressively in the second half, and got their reward through a Ryan Hindley equaliser in the 53th minute, thus condemning that 'The Cod Army' to a tricky Tuesday night trip to Cannon Park.
