Wright for England
Linby's current top goalscorer Julien Wright has been picked in the England Universities Squad following a succesful trial last Sunday. Missing from last weekend's 4-1 victory away at Attenborough due to the trial, Julien impressed the selectors and has been duly selected in the squad. Julien is on the all time goalscorers list on the NSL and boasts the best goal to game ratio in the NSL. This season he is continiung that record with 10 goals from 11 games. Well done Ju from all at Linby CW FC.

Linby bounced back from two defeats to pick up three valuable away points at a sodden Attenborough F.C.
One enforced change to the line up that put up a brave fight against top of the league Clifton the week before, Kyle McDermott away on family duties being replaced by new signing Spencer Goff. Ross Cheeseman continued up front with Julien Wright absent due to trials for England University.
Attenborough started the brightest including a long range effort from Steve Oldham that just clipped the outside of the post. After 10 minutes Linby sprang into life, racing into a 2-0 lead. First Cheeseman nipped in following an aerial challenge by Goff to get behind the Boro' defence and lob over the stranded home keeper from 20 yards. Next a pass from Campbell found new boy Spencer Goff, who had ventured in from his left wing berth, to dispatch a 20 yard right foot effort into the bottom corner. Just as you were thinking Linby might kick on and dominate boro were back in it with a goal by Oldham from the penalty spot after Pete Campbell was adjudged to have up-ended a boro player just inside the box. Linby never settled for the remainder of the half with Attenborough looking the more likely team to find the net. Oldham, who was causing numerous problems, was unlucky not to equalise when leaving both Horton and Elson in his wake dragged his shot agonisingly wide. HT 2-1
The next goal was going to be crucial and with a change of boots or two at half-time Linby defended much better and started to keep the passing shorter which suited us. A nice passing involving Goff, Whitehust, Campbell and Cheeseman finally found Davies away on goal, with options to square, he fired home at the near post to give us some breathing space. So we thought. Within a few minutes Boro were awarded their 2nd penalty of the game. A boro tactic, of landing their corners on top of the keeper with their big guys attacking it, paid dividends when Linby keeper Lear pushed out at Constable. Oldham stepped up again and again placed it to the keepers bottom left, this time Lear produced a fantastic save from not a bad penalty. That took the life out of Attenborough and it was only a matter of time before Linby picked them off, which substitute Whitehurst did, finishing coolly when one on one. FT 4-1
A deserved win, flattered by the score line but clinical finishing proved to be the big difference. Nice for once to have a full and strong bench which can make all difference. Simon martin replaced after an hour so not to aggravate some nagging strains shows this. But after 3 departures from lads thinking they're too good for the bench lets keep this up and realise no team of 11 players will ever get anywhere!
Mom picked by the opposition went to Dave Elson, not a bad shout but for me just edged by Nick Davies, who in the last two weeks has rediscovered the recipe that made him such a success when he returned last season. Put the work and effort in, play with a smile and the rest takes care of itself.

Linby CW FC Res 0 Bulwell FC Res 1
It was agony for Linby Reserves as their 4 match winning streak came to an end as they were defeated by Bulwell Reserves 1-0. It was made even worse in that Bulwell scored their winning goal just 5 minutes from the end of an enthralling local derby, in which Linby deserved a point.
Bulwell started strongly, with the Spencer brothers, Daniel and Darren pulling most of the strings. Linby's nervous start to the game had them on the backfoot and twice in the opening exchanges they had to be grateful to Glenn Guyatt, who made two good saves to deny the bulwell dangerman Courtney Hastings. Linby slowly began to get a foot hold in the game and the pacy Mitchell Duffin was at the heart of everything good. As the First half ended goalless, words and handbags were exchanged by James “Fingers” Logan and some of his Bulwelian neighbours as the players left the pitch.
Linby were better in the second half and had the chances to take the lead. On 58 minutes, good work by Duffin and Tom Walters ended with Johnny Scott having his point blank header brilliantly saved by John Hames. On 65 minutes, Scott thought he'd scored when his lob beat Hames, but Jay Milbourne managed to get back to volley the ball off the line. As tired legs started to come into effect, chances came and went at both ends. Guyatt saved a Hastings shot and Duffin was just wide at the other end. The killer goal came in the 85th minute, as Daniel Spencer finished well at the far post to beat Guyatt, for only the second goal against him in 4 matches.
It was certainly better from Linby than the 5-1 thrashing they took away at Bulwell.

Linby CW FC 1 Clifton FC 3
K.McDermott
Linby deserved at least a draw from this full blooded encounter against the new leaders of the NSL Senior Division, in front of a good sized crowd, estimated at 100.
The first half was a goalless, very tight affair, the two most chances of note being on 14 minutes, when a good Linby move ended with Nick Davies bringing a good save out of John Marriott in Clifton's Goal. Danny Gunn then had a golden opportunity to fire Clifton into the lead on 20 minutes, but he fired wide.
It was the second half which brought on the drama. On 50 minutes home custodian Craig Lear saved well from a quickly taken Michael Evans free kick, but it was Linby who took the lead 8 minutes later. A swift break saw Davies pick out striker Ross Cheeseman who's shot was saved by Marriott. Clifton skipper Mike Holtham looked as if he had the loose ball under control, but under pressure from Cheesman he slipped and was robbed by the livewire Kyle McDernott, who fired home from the acutest of angles, 1-0.
The turning point of the match came in the 68th minute, when Jake Keetley was deemed to have brought down the theatrically diving Michael Evans in the Linby box. The Referee pointed to the spot and the same player stepped up to send Lear the wrong way and level the scores.
After Lear had palmed a cross onto his own bar, a Linby counter attack involving substitute Ash Keetley and McDermott saw Davies cross for Cheeseman, whose back post volley was wide of the mark.
If anything the strength of the Clifton bench had the final say in an enthralling match, as Sub Ashley Way finished superbly at the far post in the 86th minute after a sweeping Clifton counter attack.
Linby didn’t deserve a third goal against them in stoppage time as they pushed forward for an equaliser. Karl Mitchell slotting home well as Linby committed men forward.
Linby pushed an excellent Clifton side to the wire, but can't dwell on what could have been. Ross Cheesemans “second” first team debut, was superb, and shows how much he has progressed since his first spell at Linby.

Keyworth United 4 Linby CW FC 1
J.Wright
With just one defeat in five league outings and a 5-0 mauling of Magdala Amateurs the previous week, confidence in the Linby camp was high. Intent on seeking revenge for the 3-1 defeat inflicted on them at Church Lane, Linby started the brighter. Julien Wright was causing the Keyworth back line numerous problems with his pace and movement, but on a couple of occasions he lacked the killer finish.
Against the run of play, Keyworth took the lead. A diagonal ball over the top caused confusion between Ross Horton and Craig Lear, as they hesitated, Matt Webster stole in to round Lear and tap into an empty net. Keyworth should have gone two up shortly after, but for an air shot by the Keyworth left back when well placed.
After a couple of half chances for Horton and Wright, Keyworth made it two. Another ball over the top found the Linby back line square and Dan Collison smashed the ball past a helpless Craig Lear.
Undeterred Linby tried to mount a fight back. Firstly Julien Wright and Pete Campbell combined well, before Campbell shot narrowly past an upright. Campbell then fed Wright down the inside right channel and he drew the ‘keeper before slipping the ball across goal to an unrushing Nick Davies whose effort was blocked on the line. On the stroke of half time Linby got a lifeline. Julien Wright wriggled free from two challenges before being brought down in the box for a penalty. Wright stepped up and sent Ball the wrong way to reduce the arrears and notch his 10th goal in 11 matches. HT 2-1
The second half was pretty much a replica of the first. Linby huffed and puffed but Keyworth had the killer instinct. Linby tried to reduce the arrears, but the final ball into the box was found lacking. In form striker Webster added to his first half strike when flicking on a deep free kick into the bottom corner of the net despite his diminutive size. Keyworth put the game to bed with 10 minutes remaining, when a quick break down the Keyworth right found Collison at the far post. Craig Lear somehow managed to claw the ball away from goal, but Collison was alive to the rebound and smashed the ball home from an acute angle. FT 4-1

Magdala Amateurs 0 Linby CW FC 5
P.Campbell(3), J.Wright, D.Dickens
Linby's biggest win of the season sees them climb to the heady heights of 7th in the table.
Despite how the score line may suggest, Magdala started the better side with more purpose and bite and had Linby on the backfoot for a good 20 minutes. Linby took the lead midway through the half, capitalising on their first corner of the match. Nick Davies swung the ball into the near post and the 'Dala defence failed to pick up Pete Campbell whose close range header crept over the line.
Magdala stormed back, forcing two excellent saves out of craig Lear. Firstly, on 25 minutes he tips a Danny Bentley free kick over the bar, then a minute later makes a good save to deny Steve Hillier.
Nick Davies then fires in 2 good efforts, the first a well contructed move of one touch passes sees a venomous shot well saved by Dan Burke and the second flashes just inches over the bar.
On 35 minutes, the move of the match sees Linby go two to the good. Julien Wright starts and finishes the move, as he lays of a pass from Dave Hardy to Pete Campbell who finds Simon Martin. Martin sprays the ball wide to Darren Dickens on the right who fires the ball across goal for Wright to have the simplest of tap-ins. HT 2-0
The second half started similar to the first with Magdala's Bentley forcing another good save out of Craig Lear in the Linby goal. On 56 minutes, Linby make it 3-0. Darren Dickens raiding down the right crosses for Jake Keetley who lays the ball off to Pete Campbell to send a first time volley in off the post and past a motionless Dan Burke in the 'Dala goal.
Two minutes later and a rush of blood to the head of Magdala captain Rob Powell sees the game over as a contest. After two crunching tackles, Powell throws his head at Jake Keetley and Referee Chris Ward sends him for an early bath, much to the annoyance of Magdala Coach Steve Thompson who is also sent from the touchline.
On 64 minutes, Dickens and Wright combine well down the right and despite being tripped Wright somehow manages to lay the ball off to Pete Campbell who fires low into the corner to complete his first hat-trick for the club.
5 minutes later and Linby are 5 up. Follwing a fast break from a Magdala corner, a searching cross from the left by Nick Davies finds Darren Dickens at the far post who heads home for his first of the season.
The Linby management rang the changes bringing off Hardy, Davies and Keetley. allowing Morgan Whitehurst to make his debut. Yet more chances came and went as Campbell was denied a 4th by the legs of Burke following good work from Dickens and Ash Keetley and the same player later unselfishly squared the ball to Simon Martin who fired over.
You know its not your day when Hillier hits an almost unstoppable shot which polaxes the brave Ross Horton on the line. FT 0-5

Darren Dickens raiding down the right crosses for Jake Keetley who lays the ball off to Pete Campbell to send a first time volley in off the post and past a motionless Dan Burke in the 'Dala goal.
Two minutes later and a rush of blood to the head of Magdala captain Rob Powell sees the game over as a contest. After two crunching tackles, Powell throws his head at Jake Keetley and Referee Chris Ward sends him for an early bath, much to the annoyance of Magdala Coach Steve Thompson who is also sent from the touchline.
On 64 minutes, Dickens and Wright combine well down the right and despite being tripped Wright somehow manages to lay the ball off to Pete Campbell who fires low into the corner to complete his first hat-trick for the club.
5 minutes later and Linby are 5 up. Follwing a fast break from a Magdala corner, a searching cross from the left by Nick Davies finds Darren Dickens at the far post who heads home for his first of the season.
The Linby management rang the changes bringing off Hardy, Davies and Keetley. allowing Morgan Whitehurst to make his debut. Yet more chances came and went as Campbell was denied a 4th by the legs of Burke following good work from Dickens and Ash Keetley and the same player later unselfishly squared the ball to Simon Martin who fired over.
You know its not your day when Hillier hits an almost unstoppable shot which polaxes the brave Ross Horton on the line. FT 0-5

Club News - Ade Ward's ban lifted / Pop up to usual tricks
Ground Maintenance Manager Dave Elson would like to announce that Secretary Ade Ward's ban on machinery at Church Lane has been lifted . On Friday 30th October, Kez Dean led a three man team, including Ward and Elson, to cut and mark all 3 pitches out. Ward spent 3 hours on the small sit on mower and didn’t manage to break it, or fill it with the wrong petrol. Elson added, “ Don’t be shy lads, volunteers are always wanted for ground maintenance tasks at Church Lane.” If interested in helping out, please see one of the Committee.
It was good to see Chairman Alan 'Pop' Arnold back in action on Saturday. After Pop's pie throwing antics at Newark the other week, he decided to eat them on Saturday at the Roko. Before the game he popped into the health club for a quick cup of tea, only to find to his horror That the girl on the desk asked him to “sign in” and that they didn’t do tea! Well done Pop, good to see you on form again.
