TEVERSAL 0 DERBY SINGH BROTHERS 3

CMA PREMIER SOUTH AT CARNARVON ST

19 OCTOBER 2024 ---- 3PM

TEVERSAL V DERBY SINGH BROTHERS AS DEVANTE RAMSEY IS ABOUT TO MAKE IT 3-0 TO THE VISITORS

Teversal's poor start to the season continued with defeat to Derby Singh Brothers in a game that produced little for the home side but the visitors with the lively Devante Ramsey had the player who could unlock defences and his efforts resulted in him claiming the third goal in the second half after going into half time two goals to the good also thanks to his assists.

SAHIL BAGAVAN OUT ON THE WING

Regular readers will know that my go to club on so many occasions in my non league watching was Teversal it had a convenient bus service from base to ground and back at the end at an equally easy timing, that was until bus services were cut and a visit here was via a degree in timetables and an overnight stay in Sutton In Ashfield.  

SCOTT PARTINGTON UNDER CLOSE ATTENTION

Much of what was here is still here admittedly its via a smaller band of volunteers who are working themselves hard to keep the club on an even keel.  But what was here seasons back is still here with a public address system playing Mansfield FM, a match day programme and easy access to the team sheets should you require them and of course a snack bar and bar for the heavier stuff.

So it really is a why wouldn't you?  It would be lovely to se the surrounding villages start to fall in love with the club and give them some support through the turnstiles as they look to establish some success in their CMA Premier South challenges following their loss of NCEFL status a few seasons back.

Todays gate in the mid thirties would not support the match officials fees and again you have to feel great gratitude to the people who are keeping this club going.

JAMES POLLARD MAKES HIS WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE

On the football field it has not been going well and as the new management team including todays man in charge Darren Smith try to re build a squad to force the side off the foot of the table it is reliant on a collection of young and more experienced players. 

LEE WILLIAMSON COMES AWAY WITH THE BALL

In the proceeding weeks the famous Tesco trolly park shelters that were installed as stands behind the far goal have re emerged on social media.  This after at least 20 years since their first instalment and secretary Kev Newton is full on now with various media outlets who have expressed an interest and following on from a Four Four Two article on the club  the BBC are featuring the club with an interview coming up on the Monday.  The four shelters are unique but it is amazing how they have shone again.  If this can spotlight the club and bring a new interest and maybe even some sponsorship going forward it would be a silver lining for the Tevie boys.

HALF TIME DISCUSSION OF WHOSE GETTING THE ORANGE JUICE COMMENCES

Admission paid and teams line ups gathered the far side of the ground was selected with a low and very bright sunshine making the old photography very difficult, it was though a relief from this mornings persistent rain.

CAUTION FOR JACK SELLARS

The first half saw Teversal start off well in going forward mode without really creating anything but that soon received a blow on the quarter of an hour mark when Ramsey set himself up to get a cross back into the box for James Pollard to rise to head home.  

The visitors made the home sides chances almost redundant with a second after 35 minutes again it was Ramsey on the left hand side of the box who pulled the ball back for Tyler Johal to fire the ball home.

That was just about how we went into half time save for a bit of late stuff and a confrontation on the half way line which apart from some jostling seemed to have little in the naughty stakes.  Referee Sam Priestly agreed and there was just a caution Teversal's Jack Sellars from the original incident.

The second period started much like the first half with the home side putting together some fair possession but just not really getting anywhere and you were just willing them to get a goal because I think their confidence would have risen and we would have seen a close finish.

KEEPER TURTON OR FORWARD RAMSEY WHO GETS THERE FIRST

But it wasn't to be and it was Ramsey who would finally settle the three points with fifteen minutes remaining.  The Derby player had been a thorn in the home sides defence all afternoon with an ability to take players on and beat them, sometimes going back again a couple of times so confident was he but also it was at times a potential downfall but he is a player that will change a game for your side.  

He burst through on a chase with the out coming home keeper Leon Turton for first to the ball honours and as they tackled at the same time the ball fell forward for Ramsey to return to his feet and despite a superb attempt to block his effort from defender Gary Atkins he could not stop the finish that made it 3-0 to the visitors.

DEVANTE RAMSEY WINS THE TACKLE THAT WILL SEE HIM MAKE IT THREE

Singh Brothers wrapped up the win and although they didn't look as good as last season they had enough today to beat Teversal and Ramsey would certainly be a player I would look to seeing again in another game. 

Teversal suffered their tenth loss in their league season with just the obscure 6-5 away win at Mansfield Hosiery Mills in the second game of the campaign being the only victory.  Although it has to be said recent results in narrow losses to Melbourne Dynamo [0-1] at home and away at Wirksworth Ivanhoe [1-0] had given some hope todays performance at times showed the beginnings but its a long way back up.

I just hope they can drag themselves from the foot of the table to safety for the people involved in the club and from a personal point of view a club I like who I would love to see get back on a positive front on the football field.

An early cheeky taxi saw a very prompt return back to base and I await tomorrow mornings forecast of heavy rain and strong wind which will make conditions the complete opposite of today in The Chesterfield Sunday League.  I may need to borrow one of those Tesco shelters for cover.

RAMSEY DRIVES ON TO MAKE IT THREE

Just two more pictures to go but still not enough words enjoy taking a look at the third goal sequence.

3-0 AS RAMSEY JUMPS OVER THE TACKLE
