Closer to the 92

Saturday 7 September 2024:

Got closer to the 92 today and managed a second game on the way north

1030am

Coalville Town Ravens Under 21 1 Bilston Town Under 21 3

MFL Under 21 Division

Owen Street Sports Ground

F & N

Attendance: 43 h/c

Good game to watch, even first half with the home side taking the lad after 32 minutes. Second half saw Bilston dominate - getting back on level terms after 46 minutes then scoring again after 73 and 79 minutes, the last two goals scored when they were down to 10 men after one of their players sin binned.

Snack bar open and doing a roaring trade, as junior and women matches were being played on the 3 outside pitches. Obvious a great youth set up, so surprising they chose to drop down a few levels.

Then onto:

3pm

Chesterfield 2 Grimsby Town 1

League 2

SMH Group Stadium

Admission: £24

Programme: £3

Attendance: 9325

Score line flattered Chesterfield, who finished the game with 10 men. Ref filled his book with yellow cards, including a number of the coaching team from both sides! Attendance indicates that Paul Cook has got the club on the up, and home fans seemed very happy with what is on offer football wise.
