Wollaton FC 3 Linby CWFC 1
O.G.
Linby, still without influential skipper Pete Campbell (family comitments) and possibly their most dangerous striker Kyle McDermott (work), also lost 'veteran defensive lynchpin' Dave Elson with a bout of Flu. Along with a raft of other 'unavailables', they put in another battling performance at Wollaton and only lost the game in the last 10 minutes to a 'freak' goal and a 'wonder' goal.
Wollaton started the better team and duly took the lead on 10 minutes through midfielder Chris Page. Linby then went on to dictate the next hour of the game, with Nick Davies prominent in most good things Linby created. Davies wwas heavily involved in Linby's equaliser when his cross was flicked into his own net by defender Tom Lambert.
Linby went on to create numerous chances, notably two one on ones for Ross Cheeseman. Although not clear cut, with both chances being wide and on the angle, both were saved by Wollaton's excellent 'keeper Jamie Flinders. Davies himself had a similar chance which he shot just too high on 66 minutes.
As Linby's legs began to fade, Wollaton regained the lead on 81 minutes with what can only be described as a freak goal. Full back Jake Samuels swung in a deep cross from the left and it floated over everybody in to the far corner of the net.
If that was a freak, Wollaton's third was top drawer. In the 90th minute, a 30 yard excocet from substitute Ben Cheetham flew into the top corner. FT 3-1
Line-up: (4-5-1)
