Match Reports Saturday 24th April

Linby CW FC 2 Magdala Amateurs 1
P.Campbell (2)

A third win on trot in this “six Pointer” virtually assures Linby Senior Division football next season. Due mainly to injuries, Linby were forced to make 5 changes from the team that thrashed Notts Police on Tuesday.

On 8 minutes, Linby fashioned their first chance, with the returning Nick Davies' free kick being met by the head of Pete Campbell, but producing a good save from Danny Burke in the 'Dala goal.

After Kyle Mcdermott had seen a 20 yard free kick blocked on 25 minutes, Craig Lear made a fine save to deny a Rich Whyman 22 yard shot.

On 34 minutes, good work by McDermott, saw Pete Campbell turn and shoot inches wide of the mark.

Early second half 'Dala had their best spell of the game, spurning 2 presentable chances through Mark Curry and Rich Whyman.

On 65 minutes, a searching Dickens through ball found the influential Pete Campbell who's shot was well saved by the legs of Burke.

Linby sensed an opening as on 69 minutes, McDermott also saw a shot from 20 yards saved. The goal duly came on 73 minutes. A searching ball from Davies down the left found the run of Cheeseman. He delivered a good cross to the far post where Mcdermott's powerful header came down off the bar and bounced on the line. Pete Campbell was on hand to sweep the loose ball home from close range, 1-0.

They got a second goal and breathing space on 80 minutes, Davies found McDermott who's shot was only parried and following up Campbell nudged the ball over the line for 2-0.

Magala were awarded a penalty on 89 minutes, very harshly given against Lear, as he came out to close a 1 on 1 down. Curry shot wide, but the Referee deemed Lear had fouled him, although there was no were the 'keeper could have gone. Whyman scored from the spot, 2-1.

Man of the Match was close, as 'Dala gave it to Jake Keetley for a typical all action performance. Pete Campbell was certainly close with 2 good finishes and driving the team forward. Everybody had decent games, McDermott always a threat along with Davies and Cheeseman and at the back Jonny Scott was good and young Richard Peel excellent at right back.

Notts Police 2 Linby CW FC 6

Goff (3), J.Keetley, George, Dickens

A quick fire double over the Police.The writing was on the wall after 14 minutes when Spencer Goff had a goal disallowed for a dubious offside decision. On 17 minutes a Cheeseman lob produced a great save from Joe Parlatt.

On 19 minutes Goff shot from 20 yards into bottom corner. Just 5 minutes later and from a Goff cross, Parlatt parried into the path of Jake Keetley 10 yards out for 2-0. Before the half hour it was 3 as from a Goff free kick, Nathan George produced a towering header. It was 4 before the break as on 34 minutes another great break from Linby saw Goff cross to the back post for Dickens to plant his header into the net.

On 55 minutes Police reduced the arrears through Nathan Scott. 10 minutes later and there was a goal of the season candidate from Spencer Goff. Fully 35 yards out he sees Parlatt off his line and produced a 1st time volley into the top corner. On 85 minutes Goff completes his hattrick from a flick on by Jamie Start. Ther must have been 10 minutes of stoppage time from which Police got a consolation through Wayne Bennett 6-2.

10th April Match Reports

Linby CW FC 3 Notts Police 2

After a wait of 20 weeks, Linby win a match.They made it hard for themselves, after coasting into a three nil lead in the opening half an hour and also missing a second half penalty.

Linby started well and after 8 minutes, Ross Cheeseman's 18 yard shot was inches over the bar. Linby took the lead on 14 minutes, Jake Keetley's through ball allowed Kyle McDermott To beat the offside trap and he squared the ball for Pete Campbell to finish neatly in to the bottom corner from 15 yards out,1-0.

It was 2-0 on 28 minutes, again McDermott's pace was too much for the Police defence. This time he cut the ball back to Cheeseman, who found the top corner of the net from the edge of the area. Linby were in dreamland 2 minutes later. A fine move between Mark Robinson and Campbell found Darren Dickens wide on the right, he beat the full back and fired a low cross across the face of goal, where Cheeseman was on hand at the far post to make it 3-0.

On 39 minutes, Police pulled a goal back. Gary Mercer's deep free kick saw Wayne Bennett head home at the far post, 3-1.

On 52 minutes, good work from Dickens set up Campbell, who saw his effort well saved. Then on 58 minutes, McDermott was pushed over in the box and Linby were awarded a penalty. Nick Davies took the spot kick, but Police Keeper Scott Burton made a good save, parrying the ball onto the post and out.

Linby were never 'hanging on', and as the game was in its dying moments of injury time Police scored a fortunate second. A long ball down the middle was attacked by centre back Ross Horton (who had enjoyed a good game along with Nathan George at the heart of the Linby defence) but Police striker Lee Collopy clearly pushed him, causing the ball to flick off his head and loop over Craig Lear for what can only be described as a 'freak Goal', 3-2. Luckily it didn’t have any effect on the final score, as the referee blew for full time as soon as Linby re-started.

The win takes Linby out of the bottom two, but with their next 3 games, ( Police away Tuesday 20th April, Magdala Satuday 24th April, Gedling Southbank Saturday 1st May) all 'six pointers' against teams in the bottom 5, things could change dramatically.

Newark Flowserve Academy 5 Linby CW FC Res 2

On 16 minutes, Linby were in front. Scott headed home at the far post to make it 2-1. Newark were then awarded a second penalty for handball against Gaz Towle, but Stuart York pulled off a good save to keep them in the lead.

On 45 minutes, Newark equalised through Ollie Gee's 25 yard shot. The home side scored the vital 3^rd goal on 75 minutes and Linby had no option but to send men forward chasing the game. That’s when the youthful Flowserve team picked them off on the break with 2 further late goals .

Clifton FC 7 Linby CWFC 0

The season plumbed new depths of despair, with Linby's worst defeat since the infamous 9-2 at Kimberley on 14th April 2007. Missing the influential pair of Spencer Goff and Kyle McDermott, they welcomed back Club Captain Pete Campbell.

Linby had the first chance of the game, when Jonny Scott hit the side netting on 18 minutes. Just 4 minutes later and Linby find themselves 1-0 down, as Jake Keetley is adjudged very harshly to have handled the ball while he made a sliding block. Despite Micheal Evan being asked to leave the field due to a lack of shin pads he takes Heath's shin pads and takes the penalty. Craig Lear saves the kick, but Evans is first to the loose ball and scores at the second attempt. Following the goal, referee Simon Hare books Jake Keetley for vociferously telling one of his teammates to 'shut up'.

Clifton make it 2-0 on 48 minutes as Danny Johnson turns and fires a rocket low into Lear's left hand post. Referee Hare then gives Keetley a second caution on 50 minutes for a late challenge, leaving Linby with 10 men. These yellow cards being the only two of the match.

Linby held out at 2-0 until the 82nd minute, when Clifton clinically put them to the sword, scoring 5 goals as Evans completed his hattrick and Stuart Robinson, Ashley Way and Pat Sneath netted for the home side.

Linby have 6 games left in which to stay out of the bottom two and possible relegation.
