TEVERSAL COMFORTABLE IN WIN AGAINST BASEMENT CLUB

TEVERSAL 3 V LINCOLN MOORLANDS RAILWAY 1
NCEFL LEAGUE 1 AT CARNARVON ST
27 OCTOBER 2015---7.45PM

A comfortable victory by Teversal pushed them into a steady mid table position against strugglers Lincoln Mooorlands Railway [LMR] by 3 goals to 1, however with some better finishing the home side would have gained a bigger margin of victory.  The night was also very much added to by referee Colin Unwin who displayed more cards than Clintons with 4 yellows for each side and a red in 75 minutes that left Teversal with ten men.
Teversal is on of the blogs favourite local visits and this being the third of the season I wont re visit a ground descriptor save to say there is always a good visit to the snack bar as I'm sure you will see from the picture, what else is non league football for?

WHAT ELSE ARE NON LEAGUE VISITS FOR?

Mid week games have seen little choice for the early part of the 2015/16 season but as ever at Carnarvon St its friendly and has a nice conservatory and bar where your food can be sampled.
The crowd tonight was, an on the low side, 47 but within it there was time to catch up with referees assessor Matt Walsh, Richard Lane Newark Town secretary and CMFL Press Officer and of course Dave, former Glapwell kit and and purveyor of the 'flag'.  As ever a pleasure to have chance to catch up with them all things non league and a few other topics too all discussed!
The night started with the mist being pulled towards the bright floodlights before light rain showers seemed to clear the air at irregular intervals during the night.  Bottom club LMR came to Carnarvon St without a league away win so far but this was fairly close to the home sides with just two home league victories which may have led some to a belief that a home win was a foregone conclusion but never take things for granted in football.
After three minutes this theory was looking dubious when Teversal took the lead when Khyle Sargent turned the ball home and when on 35 minutes they made it 2-0 through Brad Cox a big score line looked on the cards.  However Teversal were guilty of squandering some chances to extend the lead and as the visitors got a little keen on the tackle referee Unwin added 5 players into the notebook, 4 from LMR.

The second period began with the visitors looking a little more confident and Teversal struggling to get a strong foothold in the game and it got more of a struggle with 15 minutes remaining when they were reduced to ten men.  Gary Armstrong had been cautioned after 62 minutes and then with a quarter of an hour left he received his second yellow for a half way line indiscretion.
With seven minutes remaining LMR scored the goal of the game a free kick 25 yards out was superbly curled home into the top left hand corner by Josh Schofield.
Before there could be too much panic as the visitors looked for an equaliser Gary Atkins swept in at the back post to convert to make the game safe for the home side.
Card count in the second half saw Teversal win with three yellows and the converted red.
An enjoyable evening out in North Nottinghamshire with a steady performance from Teversal and all important three points as they look to get their season back on the rails after what had been a good start to the season.
