ITS NO MAULING BUT TIGERS CLAIM VICTORY AT STAVELEY

STAVELEY MWFC 0 V WORKSOP TOWN 1
NCEL PREMIER DIVISION---14 JAN 2015---7.45

Top of the table game at Inkersall Rd awaited with anticipation only for the good old weather to ruin the occasion.  A superb crowd of 392 gathered and who knows how many it would have been if the strong winds were not driving rain across the pitch for much of the evening.  The game itself saw two footballing sides battle admirably against one another and the elements but in all fairness it was not helped by the latter in the final conclusion of a game of poor fayre.
The only goal of the game was via a sweet cross from Connor Higginson with Brad Jones turning the ball into his goal when he was probably having a job standing up in the conditions.

WORKSOP TOWN'S BEN TOWNSEND

It was a poor evening for watching and most of the crowd spent the 90 minutes huddled in either of the stands behind the goal or the half way line stand and this probably took away some of the atmosphere. 
Before the game it was great to catch up with Worksop Town keeper Ben Townsend who is performing superbly this season for Clay Cross Town while he was putting some crosses in for Tigers number 1 on the evening Jonathan Stewart, cheers Ben nice to see you!

ITS A FAMILY AFFAIR STAVELEY PLAYER RYANS MUM AND DAD

In a previous blog a few weeks back we took a look at the ground and everybody knows what a superb ground with excellent facilities is being developed at Inkersall Rd and with a young Staveley side coming along it hopefully should be for the good of the town.  Crowds are going up and the bar/hospitality area has now been added to with the programme/souvenir cabin at the far side of the ground alongside an excellent programme courtesy of Mr Waite who also spent most of his evening raising funds by raffling a 1966 signed world cup final programme.  The Tower Bar/café was open for this game ably manned by what is a family affair, Staveley player Ryan Watters mum and dad were putting time back into the club by operating this facility.
Tonight's blog has tried to cover some different views of the ground and some of the people who go into non league melting pot.
