Well where do I begin? after meeting everyone and setting out to near the halfway line, Id got home supporters one side of me and visiting supporters on the other side of me.
The fixture caught my eye as soon as they were released, as Meden Vale Colts were promoted to the top Division for the first time in their history, whilst Newark & Sherwood United have gone through some rough times unable to get a step 5 ground in the Newark area and whilst playing home games at Harrowby costs to keep hiring grounds, so they decided to move to Balderton and more in to our league, most players walked as they wished to continue at step 5, whilst Grant the Development manager took over the 1st team appointment.
The game kicked off and after 20 seconds the ref Scott thought he was playing vets football as he trapped the ball but had to pull play back for a drop ball, but a scramble after 90 secends, the Colts were 1-0 up through ALFIE GAUGHAN in front of a crowd of 43.
After 14 minutes, United had turned the game on its head when KALVIN OSBORNE had scored a brace of tap ins.
The side from Newark looked in control in the first half, so they lead at half time. Meanwhile Carlos Arrowsmith and Gordon Foster came to join me.
The Second Half began with the Colts attacking but United soaking up the pressure, the visiting keeper went down 3 times for treatment andd wasnt moving too well. Meden upped a gear and the visiting keeper pulled off 3 or 4 superb saves knocking them over the bar.
In the 78th minute, things were to alter as the homesters were reduced down to 10 players as 1 saw red, but this seemed to spur the Colts on and 2 minutes later, a deflected shot by THOMAS SHARPE found the back of the net to make it 2-2.
Each side now pushed forward and had chances, but going in to injury time, all thought this game would end up as a draw, but the Colts had other ideas in the 94th minute for JOEL WHYLE to secure a historic 1st ever win in the Premier Division.
A excellent match played in the right spirit, Newark and Sherwood will gain points with this young side and Meden Vale Colts should do well.
