Match Report

Trowell welcomed Vernon for the second time this year at Pit lane they had problems with their pitch so it was agreed to play at the Pit with a gail force wind and 11 tired men after Trowells all day tournament yesterday things promised to be difficult against the league champions.

Trowell began with the wind assisting and played well holding Vernon at bay and creating some chances for over 30 mins however they broke through on 32 mins to score a good goal against us and at half time the score remained at Vernon 1 Trowell 0.

The second half saw a tired Trowell playing against the strong wind but again as in the first half they held out very well and again on 30 mins they scored a bizare goal as they shot and hit the post, keeper  Ben Flint was on the floor as the rebound  hit him  on the head only for the ball to bounce  into the net taking the score to Vernon 2 Trowell 0 which is how things stayed at full time.

Well done lads a great day despite loosing you did us proud. Man of the match was awarded to the whole team.

Trowell welcomed Hyson Green to the Pit lane today conditions were good with a breeze blowing across the pitch.

A 9 man Hyson Green initially played well against a full Trowell squad holding Trowell at bay as they tried to overcome the 2 man difference, however when Hyson Green were bolstered by the remaining 2 players turning up,  they caught Trowell out and on 30 mins   scored a sloppy goal to take the score to Trowell 0 Hyson Green 1. Trowell rallied at this point and 7 minutes later Connor Chilton slotted a great through ball to Benji Hill on the edge of the area he turned and hit a great shot into the corner of the net to equalise the scores at 1 –1.

The second half saw Trowell playing far superior passing  football and were unlucky not to go ahead but the game degenerated into a farce which saw 2 Hyson Green players sent off, Trowell replied in the best way possible 2 minutes into extra time by scoring a superb goal by Connor Griffin who took a great ball into the area and calmly shot by the goalkeeper to take the score to Trowell 2 Hyson Green 1 which is how things remained several minutes later when the ref finally blew for full time.

Well done lads for playing great football and for keeping your heads in a difficult match Man of the match went to Dwayne Parker who had a brilliant game at the back today.

Trowell welcomed our old friends and local rivals Attenborough who have been playing well and are second in the division so we were looking fwd to a good game.

Trowell got off to a great start today applying pressure from the start and on 7 minutes were rewarded after Jack Sanders laid an inch perfect through ball  to Connor Chilton just inside their half, Connor took the ball and chipped the keeper as he tried to narrow the angle and into the net for Trowells first goal .

As the game progress both sides had chances and were evenly matched, but on 25 minutes Naylor Chambers sustained a serious injury which meant Trowell were down to 10 men as we had no substitute due to players being on holiday.

Trowell battled on and sheer determination drove them on and in the last minute of the half Josh West steamed in and beat a stranded keeper with a great shot to give Trowell a 2—0 lead at half time.

The restart was delayed in order that Naylor got medical attention and taken to hospital.

From the start of the second half it was evident that a determined Trowell were going to keep the lead, and despite Attenborough’s best attempts to score held out with a courageous display of guts and effort from the whole team all pulling for Naylor, the final whistle blew as all Trowells valiant players were totally exhausted but jubilant in the fact they had beaten Attenborough with a 10 man squad the final score being Trowell 2 Attenborough 0.

Firstly  both teams, staff and supporters wish Naylor all the best and a speedy recovery.

What more can be said a great sporting and entertaining match helped by good refereeing.

Trowell travelled to Gotham today looking for a win after last weeks disappointment so we were well fired up and it showed as Trowell pushed right from the start however a full strength Gotham pushed back just as hard at times and took the lead late into the half with a good goal after Freddy Boutell had made a great save only to see the ball drop to their striker who smashed home.

Gotham increased the lead only minutes later after a terrific free kick found the net Gotham 2 Trowell 0 the score remained the same at half time as Trowell strode off the pitch regretting not finishing a hat full of chances in the half.

Gotham 3  Trowell 2.

Trowells  second goal followed very shortly after when some great play by Benji Hill on the left saw his cross find an unmarked Josh West his  volley left the visitors keeper with no chance Trowell 2 Bagthorpe 0

Trowell continued the pressure but Bagthorpe would not lie down and came back some 10 minutes later with a well taken goal, it was then Bagthorpe’s turn to apply the pressure but Trowell’s well organized defence kept them out. In fact the roles reversed again on 30 mins as Jake Stubbs shot from within the area, was deflected in for Trowell’s third goal.

Half time came with the score at  Trowell 3 Bagthorpe 1.

Trowell took on  top of the table Attenborough today at Chilwell on a small but relatively firm pitch.

Trowell started very well displaying some good passing football,  although both teams had   chances but neither were able to score.

It took some 17 minutes before we saw a cracker of a goal, when Connor Chilton received the ball approx 25 yds out from goal, his shot  from there surprised the Attenborough keeper who got his hand to the ball but not enough to stop it going in such was the pace of the ball, Attenborough 0 Trowell 1.

The half progressed again with both sides missing chances until Attenborough drew level with a well taken goal on 35 mins, the scores remained 1—1  at half time.

The second half saw Attenborough take the lead early on with a close range effort after a promising start from Trowell,  however as time went on the game developed into somewhat of a  battle as tempers flared with heavy challenges coming in from all quarters, despite several denied penalty claims Trowell were unable to equalize and the result at the end of the day remained Attenborough 2 Trowell 1

Man of the match went to Mitchell Williams for a great display in defence
