My last blog entry for a couple of weeks - and with the amount of errors I'm making at the moment, it's probably a good thing!
I will be scheduling games for December and contributing to the charity based on the actual scores of those games, even though I won't be attending.
Clipstone's Press Officer Nigel Spalding will be preparing a full, comprehensive report for the Cobras' website, so I won't go into too much detail here.
Clipstone were without the services of top scorer Jamie Smith, but gave a debut to recent signing Jamie Brown. Another recent signing, Karl Colley, played in the heart of the home defence, and even though Winterton threatened on occasion, the big man took it all in his stride, and with his two goals was arguably the Clipstone MOM.
KARL COLLEY scored the opening goal in the 9th minute, when Steve Carty's corner from the right was met in front of goal with a firm header by the defender.
1-0 Karl Colley
With Winterton playing a very high line, they were always prone to a ball played over the top. With 27 played JAMIE BROWN made them pay when he latched onto such a ball and raced in on goal, coolly steering the ball past visiting keeper Danny Waring. H-T 2-0
Carty had a great chance to add to Clipstone's lead on 70 when he collected a superb ball from Dan Wood - unfortunately for the Clipstone skipper the goalkeeper pulled off a great save and the chance was lost.
Clipstone were awarded a corner on 73 and it almost brought a repeat of the fist goal, but on this occasion the keeper managed to tip Colley's header over the bar. Lesson learned? No, because when Carty swung in the resultant corner, COLLEY headed home the Cobras' third.
Clipstone grabbed a fourth three minutes later - Carty's superb run down the left culminating with a ball across the goal to where JAMIE BROWN was waiting at the far post to side-foot home. F-T 4-0
