Samba Notts Senior League Cup: Senior Division Cup
RAVENSHEAD FC 1 SOUTHWELL CITY FC 2
After going to my first match in 6 months on Saturday I thought it would be last for the season, but a unexpected message from ex referee Darren Wragg asked if there was any local matches going on tonight, with the offer of a lift and a chance to get out the house, the cup tie at Ravenshead FC fitted the bill for both of us.
A quick start from the visitors saw them looking dangerous going forward but the finishing touch just wasnt there, the home side tried hard to get in to the game but at stags found it difficult in getting the ball clear.
City finally got the breakthrough after 36 minutes when a Ravenshead defender was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the penalty area, where thee referee had no hesitation to point to the spot to which BLAIR BRYANT despatched to give his side the lead.
Southwell could well have added to their scoreline but for the home keeper pulling off some very good stops and saves.
The Second Half saw Ravenshead get more in to the match but Southwell still looked the better of the two sides, but both sides having chances.
The tie looked over after 75 minutes when a cross from the right hand side was met and slid home by ANTHONY BROWN who was in the right place at the back post to double Southwell's lead to 2-0.
Ravenshead pushed forward and in the 88th minute, pulled back a goal from 30 yards through OLIVER HIGGINS, but it a little too late.
After the match the Ravenshead Chairman Mark Yates kindly donated £10 towards next seasons Charity Blog which is in aid of FAMILY FUND who help and support families with special needs children, infact they have support my family several times, so the running total for Family Fund now stands at £32.50p
