LATE SHOW FOR HEANOR IN COUNTY CUP

HEANOR TOWN 1 BORROWASH VICS 0
DERBYSHIRE SENIOR CUP @ THE TOWN GROUND
7 NOVEMBER 2017 --- 7.45PM

THE SCENE IS SET AT THE TOWN GROUND

For the second game running Heanor were thankfully to Elliott Reeves being first fouled in the penalty box and then stepping up to took the spot kick away.  After the Westfields fixture on Saturday tonight's was as late as the final minute of the 90 upended in the box cutting in from the right angle he stepped up to save the watching 124 from penalties in this Derbyshire Cup tie.
Into the winter we go for night games after getting used to setting off in the dark tonight you could add to it the blustery wind thrown in with some of the wet stuff too.  With a change at Ripley early arrival in Heanor found the pitch looking in remarkably fine condition after the last few days of rain.
Tonight would be spent viewing with flag man Dave who was once again resplendent in Burnley hat/badge and England scarf and Bob L Hat, Mr L, of the Heage Parish.  The Lancashire clarets are doing exceptionally well and its always good to get a photo of Dave because he assures me viewing figures go up, mainly from female readers.  But he hasn't featured this year so its about time I featured Dave.

ONE FOR THE LADIES SO DAVE SAYS AND BURNLEY NEARLY TOP OF THE PREMIRSHIP

Usual visit to the snack bar made for delicacy from the ladies with free banter too!

TONIGHTS STAR PLAYER AT THE TOWN GROUND

Both sides tonight put out strong sides with Heanor in good form it looked to be a difficult game for EMCL side Vics but how wrong you can be.  Great effort from them to defend, pretty much like Aslockton at Eastwood last week, with a hope of scoring on the break or maybe winning on penalties.  Heanor struggled to break down the resolute defending work rate of the visitors and to be fair from a spectator point of view this was not the best advert for a night away from the sofa.  There were no notes made at all until Reeves was felled in the box, referee Constable blew and flew to point to the penalty spot that the ink ran from the nib onto folded parchment,  Borrowash must have felt disappointed to lose this so late but overall Heanor on possession alone deserved their trip in the next round to The Proact to play a Chesterfield eleven.
A further selection of spot kicks had been denied, thankfully, and it was off with Mr L to Ripley to allow a comfortable connection back to base with the required thanks for the courtesy lift.
