The choices were : England v India ODI on Sky, England v Wales on ITV or AFC v Calverton.....no contest. The cricket match was severely rain affected, and the England "new" team had bored the crap out of me on Friday.
So, off to Watnall Road to see some proper football in proper footballing weather. Me, Kev, Danny Staley and about 30 other brave souls suffering in the cold and damp - but the players didn't seem to care. They put on a half decent game, with AFC taking the points thanks to a goal in each half.
We had to wait until the 35th minute for the first goal - but it was well worth waiting for - SCOTT PEACH unleashing a pile driver from the corner of the box that gave Welfare keeper Mike Randall no chance.
Cries of offside from the defenders, as well as a couple of die-hard Calvo followers were ignored by Referee Declan Bourne and Assistant Steve Sears. We were level with the play, and Peach was a yard onside when he received the ball... no problem.
H-T 1-0
The home team grabbed their second goal on 85 - defender ROBERTO LABBATE latching onto ball as it was cleared to the edge of the box, and firing home through a ruck of players. F-T 2-0
