Last Wednesday England and Northern Ireland were both on TV in world cup qua lifers.We however made the short journey across the Yorkshire border to watch this NECL league cup tie yes i do need help!!
On the face of it this game offered goals. Brodsworth have been the whipping boys of the NECL this season. conceding 10 goals,9 goals 8 and 7 goals in a game already this season .(plus a 5 a couple of times!)
The ground like alot in this area has seen much better days.I have only been going around the non league seen for the last year or so but i have noticed the difference in ground quality between clubs in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire.The place is a long way behind the likes of Rainworth and Radford.
There is a basic club house,selling the normal football food stuff. Got a bottle of Bud for £1.50 though.They had run out of badges but at £3.50 i can get one cheaper online.
The ground is quite basic but there is plenty of covering both on one side of the pitch and behind the far goal as you walk into the ground with hard standing all the way around.
Emley started the match very well knocking the ball around well and totally dominating the match.Brodsworth were very much chasing shadows.Emleys final ball was letting them down time after time.It did seem as if it was just a matter of time before they scored.Brodsworth did try to get back into the match but kept giving away stupid free kicks away just as it looked as if they were getting into good positions.
As halftime approached with it still goalless but on 45 mins Brodsworth surprisingly took the lead through a great goal by Shane Fox scoring from the edge of the box with a nice curling shot.
At halftime it dawned that as this was a cup tie we could well have extra time, not what any of us wanted if truth be told.The second half started the same as the first. but as the game wore on Emley looked to be running out of ideas,until Brodsworths Neil Bagshaw headed into his own net from the edge of the area over his own goalkeeper 1-1
As we feared the game went into extra time.we sat down in the stand to see it and thankfully Emley scored through Gavin Armitage.The drizzle started to come down as both teams looked totally knackered towards the end.
Final score 1-2
Brodsworth will take some comfort form this result compared to some of the tonkings they have had this season and if Emley play like this sooner or later they will give somebody a good tonking themselves
