Notts Senior Cup Semi Final

Retford United FC, this stand (below) used to be situated along the wood yard side at Worksop Town FC's old Sandy Lane home, hence the fact the back of it is still painted in Worksop's colours.
Retford purchased it from the Tigers a few years ago when Howard Raymond was talking about improving Sandy Lane's facilities for WTFC and replacing it with something better ... Hmm, didn't quite materialise that way did it? :-(
21st April 2009
Notts Senior Cup Semi Final
Retford United (1) 4 (Longstaff, White, Whittington, Owens)
Arnold Town 0
Cannon Park
Attendance 254

Retford United fielded a side containing a few regular bench warmers and fringe players (but admission was still the full price of £6), yet still saw off a very lacklustre Arnold Town with consummate ease.
The score was only 1-0 at the break, a fair reflection on the play thus far, but in the second half Arnold just went to pieces completely. I can't recall them even producing a chance on goal.

4-0 is how it finished, but only after Retford had a goal chalked off for offside and Broster in the Eagles goal saved two penalties both taken by Marrison ... the second was bizarrely conceded as the defence desperately piled in to clear the ball from the first penalty save just moments earlier.
Eastwood Town beat Carlton Town 3-1 in the other semi-final, setting up a Badgers v Badgers (they share the nickname) final on Wednesday, May 6th at Notts County's Meadow Lane ground.

Elsewhere tonight, Belper Town were held to a 2-2 draw by Rushall Olympic which means Retford United can't be caught on points now and are crowned Unibond League Division One South Champions.

CONGRATULATIONS!
