Notts Fa Senior Trophy 2nd Rd , Linby 3 Arnold Reserves 0

NOTTS FA SENIOR TROPHY, 2nd Round , Saturday 5 October 2024. Linby Colliery 3 Arnold Town Reserves 0. Church Lane , Attendance 85
Linby overcame a stubborn Arnold Town Reserve team, thank to a second half hat trick from Liam Cartledge, to progress into the Third Round of the Notts FA Senior Trophy. A sluggish first half display from Linby , saw them create few chances, against a determined and well organised Arnold reserves. Except for what looked like a clear foul on Liam Cartridge inside the area, and should have been a penalty, which wasn’t given , Linby had little to show from a lacklustre first half .Indeed it was the visitors who created a couple of decent chances which weren’t taken. Half Time. Linby Colliery 0 Arnold Reserves 0. Will Wass produced an outstanding point blank save to deny Kian Leavesly , on 55 minutes and keep the score at 0-0. This close shave and a few substitutions seemed to wake Linby up , and they broke the deadlock on 59mins, a typical marauding run and cross from the bye line , from Greg Conn , found Cartledge at the far post to head home, 1-0. The Referee then sent two Arnold players to the “sin bin” leaving the visitors with nine men for ten minutes, which Linby took full advantage scoring twice . 72 minutes , a good move between Ethan Fells, Paddy Stefaniak set up Ewan Gibson for a shot from the edge of the area, Arnold’s keeper saved it , but the ball wasn’t cleared and Cartledge pounced drilling home from 10 yards out, 2-0. 75 minutes, Fells got to the bye line and crossed to the far post , Where Cartledge volleyed home , for his hat trick , 3-0. 85 minutes, it was so nearly four, Gibson hit a thunderous shot from the edge of the area, which crashed against the crossbar and bounced down onto the line .
Line up. W.Wass, Conn, Turner, J.Wass, Fells, Wood, Pollitt, Gibson, Tassi, Hamilton, Cartledge SUBS. J.Smith ( for Pollitt 56m), Stefaniak (for Wood 56m), Trigg (for Hamilton 67m). MAN OF THE MATCH .. LIAM CARTLEDGE
Mansfield Hosiery Mills “Blue” 1 Linby Colliery Reserves 0
Another good performance from Paul Jordan’s young Reserve team , which deserved at least a draw , against an unbeaten and vastly experienced home team. Will Knowles scored what looked like an excellent second half equaliser , only to be thwarted by a linesman’s flag .
