CNSC Cup 18th November FINAL

Southwell win a thriller.

Bainy equalises twice but Greenwell scores the winner.


Final

Southwell 3 Jon Wardle 2, Wayne Greenwell

Wearview 2 Neil Bainbridge

Southwell: Dave Watson, Jon Wardle, David Staples, Wayne Greenwell, Steve Clark, James Dickinson

Wearview: Chris Conifey, Gaz Anderson, Steve Lawson, Paul Jackson, Scott Hembrough, Neil Bainbridge*

 

The final started late due to Steve Lawson turning up without a kit. It kicked off 20 minutes late, but was worth the wait.

 

A game which saw Southwell spend most of the time in the opposition half, opened up when Wardle scored a long range free kick threw a weak wall. Wearview used their strengths with their pace and counterattacked during the whole game. But their goal came when the majority of the Southwell players were crowded in their own third. Neil Bainbridge teed up and struck a clean shot which slotted through a ruck of players to make the score 1-1.

 

The second half was more balanced, but Wardle scored a long range effort – with Conifey to blame – to make it 2-1. It seemed highly unlikely that Wearview would score again, but they did. Bainbridge finished off an excellent move and his strong shot squirmed underneath Watson. The game seem set for penalties when Greenwell, who’s earlier shot bounced off the cross bar and on the line, struck from close range. Conifey fumbled and the ball went through him.

 

Southwell probably deserved it overall, but all the goals were probably preventable. An excellent final and an end to a brilliant opening series.

 

CNSC Cup 11th November SEMI FINALS

As expected.

Southwell and Wearview breeze through to the Final.


Semi Finals

Southwell 4 Sporting Redhouse 1

Wearview 6 LFC 2

 

Both semi finals could have been decided before the schedule was made. Southwell, clear favourites, overcame the more difficult hurdle against Sporting. The Sporting team had a perfect record in their group, albeit being a weaker group, but against Southwell they came unstuck. A brace of goals within a few minutes settled the game.

LFC, surprise qualifiers from Pool B over O’Neills, were comfortably beaten by Wearview. The win means a Wearview – Southwell final, which is probably fair. Wearview and Southwell shared a 3-3 draw in the group stage and Wearview are the only unbeaten team left in the cup competition.

Wearview top the group – Dadcheck out

Late equaliser from Hembrough ends Dadcheck’s season


Wearview 2 Dadcheck.com 2

Despite going two goals ahead and playing the best football they had all season, Dadcheck were cruelly dumped out. A mistake by Paul Mouat allowed Wearview a token goal with around seven minutes remaining. With the pressure mounting, Scott Hembrough lashed in a long range strike with literally seconds left, to put Wearview in the Semi’s and Dadcheck out.

 

SR-1 2 Southwell 1

A meaningless game in reality. SR-1 were out and Southwell would have to lose by around 5 goals to be eliminated. The goals came from SR-1 as they avoided bottom spot. It was also their first win in this competition and went some way towards reasserting their confidence for the new, arguably more difficult campaign next year. Southwell, by not topping the group now face an awkward Semi Final with Sporting, but they should come through with no real problems.

 CNSC Cup 27th November

Southwell and Wearview in pole position

SR-1 and Fulwell out – Dadcheck need to win.


Wearview 4 SR-1 2

Again, SR-1 struggled. Despite starting well, a set of goals within minutes destroyed their confidence and made it certain that they were eliminated. This now puts Wearview in pole position as they only need a draw in their last game to maintain their point lead over Dadcheck.

 

Southwell 3 FC Fulwell 0

Fulwell, coming off their superb win over SR-1, let themselves down with an insipid performance against Southwell. The new group leaders played without a recognised defence, but Fulwell failed to take advantage. Southwell now seem certain to qualify unless they lose heavily in their last game.

 CNSC Cup 20th November

Sporting and LFC through.

Dadcheck stumble and SR-1 look out of it.


Dadcheck suffered their first defeat in the group stage after coming unstuck against Southwell. Goals from Michael Booth, David Staples, Steve Stubbs and Wardle condemned Dadcheck to a worrying finish. Leithes and Williamson did manage to score against Southwell, but Watson in goal was outstanding while his counterpart, Logan, had his first genuinely bad game for his team.

FC Fulwell also caused a stir by defeating SR-1 to keep them rooted at the bottom of the table. Fulwell went 2-0 ahead and despite SR-1 clawing one back, did enough to give themselves a fighting chance to get through.

 

Pool B was decided with LFC’s 1-0 win over O’Neills. LFC needed the win while O’Neills required just a draw. But the single goal sent LFC through in a surprising group where favourites, Barclays, were out with no wins in three, after a 3-0 defeat against Sporting.

 CNSC Cup 13th November

SR-1 suffer their first defeat.

Sporting confirm a Semi Final berth.


Dadcheck.com 2 SR-1 1

A glorious win for Dadcheck saw SR-1 suffer their first defeat in all competitions this season. Dadcheck opened the scoring, but Hutchinson stole through to equalise. A second goal from Dadcheck was the last of the scoring as they secured a historic win.

 

FC Fulwell 1 Wearview 2

Wearview scored late on to secure this win. Fulwell had played the best they had all season but, again, came with nothing.

 

Sporting Redhouse 4 LFC 0

Sporting, as expected secured a comfortable win against a weak LFC team.

 

O’Neill Sports 6 Barclays Sunderland 0

A major shock. Barclays were eliminated. The favourites to get through at the top suffered their second defeat which means, in simple terms, they’re out!
