FULL TIME

A late berto’s winner sees us fall to another defeat.

Some great football played and for majority of the game we were in control, but fine margins let us down again.

Albert’s went ahead with a big head at the back post. HT 1-0.

Our goal coming from R.BODDY playing a nice ball in behind the back for SAVILLE to convert. SAVILLE on fire since signing in the summer.

WASDALL another amazing game, making several crucial saves throughout and rightly earning himself MOTM.

PENNY with a brilliant goal line clearance too.

All the best to Albert’s for rest of the season 🤝

MOTM: JAKE WASDALL 🏆
Goals by: SAVILLE
Assists: R.BODDY

POTM

The recipient of the Babworth Rovers Player of the Month award for September: LEWIS BODDY 🏆

Despite still only being 17, he’s become a real leader on the pitch. Constantly organising and demanding more from his teammates, which is exactly what you need in the middle of the park.

Does a 6 hour round trip from base every weekend to be back in Retford. Literally never stops running and is a relentless presser, which suits our style of play to a T.

Played 340/360 minutes over the 4 games last month and also bagged a screamer vs Friendship RES that will surely be up there in the voting for goal of the season.

Wouldn’t believe this was the same player as this time last year. Only way is up from here mate 👏⬆️

FULL TIME

How on earth have we not came away with at least a point here 🤦‍♂️😂

First half we went with the wrong formation for the size of the pitch, and as a result we let two first half goals slip that probably wouldn’t have been otherwise. Gaffer taken full responsibility here.

SAVILLE bagged a nicely taken goal to send us into HT 2-1 down.

Second half came all out guns blazing, keeping them under the cosh throughout and only god knows how we didn’t get anymore in back of the net. Westwoodside quality team though and fought well 👌

PENNY made some brilliant saves, no mistakes, playing as a sweeper keeper and mopping up most things that came near.

L.BODDY and RANDELL running the show in the middle of the park again, what a month that pair have had 👏

MOTM goes to Lewis GOODWIN though, grown himself a goatee and turned into John Stones. Proper modern day ball playing CB & winning headers against their 6ft 7 striker like nobody’s business. Unit.

MOTM: LEWIS GOODWIN 🏆
Goals: SAVILLE
Assists: LAWSON

LINEUP

The squad for today’s fixture vs Westwoodside FC. In 3 seasons we have never came across this opponent once, which is a rarity for a small patch.

RANDELL captains the side.

PENNY starts in goal for the first time since his cup heroics last season, where he saved a penalty then scored the deciding 5th to send us through.

GREAVES, BATES & SAVILLE the only other changes to the starting 11 from last week’s match.

FULL TIME

A defeat is never good enough, but this was certainly a big step in the right direction. Friendship RES won division 2 last season with 15 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, so we knew to expect a tough game going into it.

It was a very even game first half, with everyone non stop running and the back line of WASDALL, STOCKS, SPENCER, STEWART & GOODWIN literally a brick wall. Friendship went 1-0 at 35 minutes with a quick one touch bang top corner. Nothing can do about them. HT 1-0.

Second half went out spurred on with a strong showing first half, and the momentum turned in our favour when L.BODDY scored an early goal of the season contender, winning a challenge then firing it in top corner from the centre circle.

Friendship took the lead again, then netted a third with an unlucky bounce from a corner landing right in their attackers path. Yet, we showed the resilience we have been so desperately lacking so far to keep fighting and it was rewarded when ROCKLEY played BANJO through, who outpaced their CB and slotted it through the keepers legs to make it 3-2 in the 80th. FT 3-2.

We keep pushing 👊

MOTM: JAKE WASDALL 🏆
Goals by: L.BODDY, BANJO
Assists: ROCKLEY
