Alfreton Sunday League: Switch pays off for Crib
Report for matches played on Sunday, December 6th 2009
CRIB Bar opted to switch their Derbyshire Cup game to the ground of opponents Pilsley MW after their Nottingham Road pitch was declared unfit.
And it looked like being a wise move as they took a two-goal lead through Carl Wadsworth and Liam Brown.
A much-disputed penalty reduced the scoreline but Adam Nicholls fired the ball home shortly after to restore Crib’s two-goal lead.
A second goal from Pilsley set up a tense finish before Nicholls’ second of the afternoon, from the penalty spot, saw them progress into the last 16 by a 4-2 scoreline.
Rainbow International will join them in the next round of the competition following a 5-1 win over Tintwhistle.
David Clarence gave Rainbow an early lead from the penalty spot and a brace of goals from Matt Wright extended their lead.
Jerry Moran and Craig Buxton scored the other two for the winners.
The only other game to get the go-ahead was the league game between Division Three leaders South Normanton Village and lowly Bulls Head Reserves.
And it was an unlikely point for Bulls Head, who, despite trailing 3-1 at one point, earned a share of the spoils from a 3-3 draw.
Ben Saxton, Joel Moss and Daniel Prince notched the goals for Bulls Head, with Lloyd Davis scoring all three for South Normanton.
