MIDWEEK MATCHES

Again midweek football was at a premium with only two matches taking place. And for the second week running Teversal were at home but went down 4-3 to Linby Colliery. The visitors took an early lead, Mason Moore scoring in the 10th minute, the advantage doubled as Alex Paterson added a 35th minute penalty. Ben Denton pulled one back on the stroke of half time, but three minutes into the second half Paterson restored Linby’s two goal lead. Liam Carver scored on the hour, and, after Paterson had seen a second penalty saved, equalised in the 74th minute. Just as it looked as if the points would be shared, Sean Craven hit a last minute winner for Linby.
South Normanton Athletic took a notable scalp in the Derbyshire Senior Cup, knocking out Step 5 Belper United in a penalty shootout. The match finished 1-1, Belper went ahead in the 6th minute, and it wasn’t until midway through the second half that sub Perry Richards put the sides level. That was how it stayed, the Shiners taking the tie 4-2 from the penalty spot.
