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.

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 3rd 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 .
