Match Report: Carlton Town 1 – 3 Dunston

NPL First Division East – 23 April 2024

Carlton Town secured their place in the step 4 playoffs for only the third time in their history despite a 3-1 home defeat against fellow promotion contenders Dunston.

The win was Dunston’s first against Carlton at the fourth time of asking and there could be no complaints about the result of an enthralling game of football.  But the home side’s disappointment at the defeat was more than tempered by news of Belper’s defeat at Pontefract which meant that the Derbyshire side could no longer catch the fifth-placed Millers.

The main consequence of Dunston’s win from a Carlton perspective was that the Millers will have to do it the hard way in the end of season lottery with an away semi-final at either Hebburn or Stockton and, if they were to win that, an away final at either Dunston or Pontefract.  But given that just 12 months ago the Millers beat Dunston on the last day of the season to avoid relegation from step 4, their progress since then has been nothing short of remarkable.

Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey made two changes to the side which had beaten Consett last time out.  In came David Adegbola and Greg Tempest in place of Mamadou Sylla-Diallo and Jevin Seaton.  There was a surprise return on the bench for Liam Bateman, six months since his last appearance.

Dunston knew only a win was guaranteed to keep them in third place in the table, with home advantage in the playoff semi-final, and backed by an impressive number of midweek travelling fans they began the sharper.  They opened the scoring on 11 minutes when a fierce shot from Dale Pearson managed to get through the hands of Felix Annan.

Pearson had another go shortly afterwards but was denied by an excellent stop from the Millers goalkeeper.

Carlton responded and a break down the left saw Lewis Durow play the ball into Alex Hardwick.  He knocked the ball back to Niall Davie whose first shot was blocked and the follow up saved by Aaron Steavens.

Dunston pushed forward again and Jack Maskell saw an angled drive saved by Annan before Hardwick headed just over the bar from a Tempest corner at the other end.

Dunston doubled their lead on 34 minutes when Jude Swailes chested a free kick into the path of David Robinson and he had time to fire into the corner of the net.

Carlton responded immediately and pulled a goal back within two minutes.  A long ball to the edge of the box by Alex Howes saw Khyle Sargent get there ahead of Steavens.  With the goalkeeper stranded Sargent cheekily lifted the ball over a covering defender and converted from close range.

In the early stages of the second half the Millers put the Dunston goal under some pressure, with Hardwick seeing what looked to be a certain goal blocked on the line by Howes.

The strong-looking Dunston defence survived a series of corners and at the other end Dan Brown made a superb tackle to deny Maskell a shot on goal.

It was end to end stuff from two very good sides, with Sargent impressing in a more advanced role and the Millers defence keeping the visitors at bay.

Niall Hylton saw a long-range effort deflected over the bar and shortly afterwards the visitors sealed the win when Swailes headed home unmarked.

Carlton kept pushing forward and goalkeeper Steavens made two outstanding saves in the closing minutes of the game.  The fist of those was from a shot by substitute Musa Jawarra after a lovely pull back by Howes and the second was even better as the keeper flew to his left to keep out a Durow screamer.

Hylton saw an effort cleared off the line in added time but Dunston held out to avenge their home defeat by the Millers last month.  Nonetheless both sides received merited applause at the end after an excellent game.  They may yet meet again before the season concludes.

Carlton Town: F Annan, D Adegbola, L Durow, D Brown, D Freeman (L Bateman 71), G Tempest (M Jawarra 78), N Davie (M Jebbison 69), A Howes, A Hardwick, K Sargent, N Hylton.  Unused subs: P Dearle, L Gorman

Goals: K Sargent 36; Dale Pearson 11, David Robinson 34, Jude Swailes 80

Tesco launch ‘Best of British’ section online in success for campaign backed by Gedling MP Tom Randall

Tesco launch ‘Best of British’ section online in success for campaign backed by Gedling MP Tom Randall

Tesco has added a ‘buy British’ section to its website in a bid to help shoppers support British businesses, becoming the seventh retailer to do so.

The supermarket giant announced the move following a campaign by MPs and the farming industry for retailers to support UK producers more.

In August 2023, 120 other MPs signed an open letter calling on supermarkets to highlight the very best of British produce by implementing a ‘Buy British’ section online to make it easier for people to buy homegrown produce.

Gedling MP Tom Randall was one of the MPs to sign the letter.

The letter, written by Dr Luke Evans, who is MP for Bosworth, stated ‘Our ask is simple, create a tab that collates produce from farmers,’ citing consumer choice, environmental benefits and support for farmers as reasons to make the change.

Now, Tesco’s have followed Morrisons, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Co-op and Waitrose by launching a ‘Best of British’ section online which the retailer’s Chief Commercial Officer says “[brings] together over 500 hundred quality, affordable British products to choose from.”

Tom Randall MP said “The campaign for a ‘Buy British’ button aims to make it even easier for people to buy homegrown produce, supporting our nation’s farmers and cutting down on unnecessary food miles.

“Tesco follow the lead of Morrisons, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Ocado, Waitrose and the Co-op by making this small but meaningful change which puts our farmers and consumer choice first.

“I hope ASDA follow suit soon.”

Ashwin Prasad, Tesco’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Supporting British farmers, growers and suppliers remains critical to ensuring we have a robust food industry here in the UK, and we count ourselves as proud champions of British agriculture, striving to source produce from the UK wherever possible. 

“Our customers share our love for British produce, and we want to do all we can to make it as easy to find as possible, no matter how they shop with us, so we’re thrilled to be launching our Best of British page on our groceries website, bringing together over 500 hundred quality, affordable British products to choose from.”

Suspect from Carlton charged following assault that left man with slash wounds

A suspect has been charged following an attack that left a man with slash wounds.

Officers attended Devon Street, St Ann’s, after a man was assaulted around 11.30pm on Tuesday (23).

The 27-year-old victim was left with injuries not deemed to be life-threatening or life-altering after reportedly being attacked by a group carrying weapons.

Yasir Alyas, 29, has since been charged by detectives with wounding with intent and possessing a bladed article in public.

Alyas, of Oakdale Road, Carlton, is due to appear at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court today (25).

A 25-year-old man previously arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent has been released on conditional bail as inquiries continue.

Detective Sergeant Chris Mavers, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The violence demonstrated during this incident was completely unacceptable and in no way belongs anywhere near our communities.

“We are pleased to have now charged a suspect in connection with this assault but want to stress that our inquiries are still ongoing.

“Bearing this in mind, we’d ask anyone who has any information and hasn’t come forward yet to please do so by contacting the police on 101, quoting incident 858 of 23 April 2024, or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Everything You Need to Know to Launch Your Own Business in Montana

The state of Montana has seen a significant influx of new residents over the last decade due to its welcoming corporate tax environment, growing industrial base, and relatively cheap cost of living (it ranked sixth in the US in 2022 according to the Tax Foundation). Not only is Montana devoid of any significant urban centers or airports, but it also has a zero-tax policy, positioning it as a prime location for budding entrepreneurs. The Treasure State is worth considering whether you are forming a limited liability company, corporation, or single proprietorship.

  1. Decide on a corporate concept

Good concepts underpin every successful firm. You may wish to create a new product or service or improve an existing one. Early market research as part of your business strategy can assist you launch your new company.

  1. Choose the funding options

Montana small companies have several credit alternatives for expansion, operations, and capital. Traditional bank loans, SBA loans, term loans, business lines of credit, equipment finance, and more are available from banks, credit unions, and internet lenders.

  • The Small Business Administration backs small business loans Montana, which have low interest rates and extended payback schedules. Montana lenders provide them for working capital, real estate, and equipment.
  • Banks provide low-interest term loans to firms with good to exceptional credit.
  • For recurring needs like property improvements, Business Lines of Credit provide flexible funding.
  • Commercial Real Estate Loans are backed by commercial property and used to buy it. 
  • For frequent transactions or firms that don’t qualify for other loans, business credit cards are another alternative. Major credit card providers give perks.

In case your SBA loan declined, you can contact Fundshop. Here you will be helped to find the best loan solution. 

  1. Identify your Montana-based company.

As a business entrepreneur, naming your firm may be your most critical decision. Prospective clients get a message from the name of your company. It provides clues about the quality, pricing, and variety of your products.

  1. Make a strategy for your company.

A good business plan outlines the company’s objectives, expansion strategy, success metrics, and revenue-cost balance. Templates and examples of hypothetical business strategies may help you brainstorm. 

  1. Decide on a company structure

Several options are available to you when forming your new company organization. The three most common business structures that entrepreneurs choose are corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and sole proprietorships. There are advantages, disadvantages, filing and operating requirements, and potential tax implications to each of these legal frameworks.

  1. Secure permissions and licenses for your company

Local governments offer business licenses, whereas the Montana state government issues professional licenses like law licenses. Mining and alcohol firms need specific licenses, while others may get a regular company license. If you are a Montana business owner, you may get the necessary paperwork via the SBDC’s online licensing site. Go to the one-stop licensing site of the Montana Department of Revenue to get your licenses after you know the criteria.

  1. Research Montana Commercial Insurance Policies

Corporations and limited liability firms should still have insurance. Insurance resources for business owners are on the Commissioner’s website. Montana companies must carry workers’ compensation insurance regardless of legal structure.

  1. Get a handle on money matters

You need a business bank account to take payments, make checks, and receive cash for your Montana firm. Apply for a corporate credit card to improve your borrowing power. If your subsidiaries are legal businesses, you may create bank accounts and credit cards for them.

  1. Promote your company

Branding and defining selling points are the initial steps in marketing. Custom fonts, color palettes, logos, slogans, and taglines may make your firm stand out. After branding, promote your company in-person and online.

Conclusion

Montana’s tax climate, burgeoning sectors, and affordability provide businesses a unique opportunity. Various company models may be drawn to this state’s zero-tax regime and lack of major cities. 

Your company needs in-person and online marketing to stand out and attract consumers. Montana’s distinctive terrain and business-friendly regulations attract new companies.

Fundraiser launched to create new floating habitats that will support wildlife at Netherfield nature reserve

A charity hopes to raise £4,500 to pay for materials to create floating habitats and boost wildlife at a Netherfield nature reserve.

Gedling Conservation Trust hope to initially create a minimum of three islands at Netherfield Lagoons that will be created from environmentally-friendly and recycled household materials.

The islands will be constructed by a team of volunteers, with the estimated cost of each island said to be around £1,500 (a tenth of the cost of a commercially manufactured island).

The floating islands will be installed at Netherfield Lagoons nature reserve

The Trust said it has already secured £1000 towards the project and will soon begin work on a prototype.

A spokesman for the Trust said: “We would like to produce as many of these islands as possible but are aiming for at least three so we are looking to raise £4500 initially.

“If you would like to help make this happen, any amount you are able to donate towards this exciting new project will be greatly appreciated.”

Those looking to make a donation can visit the Trust’s website: Gedling Conservation Trust, Nottingham

You can also sign up for Easyfundraising – a great way to help out the Trust without it costing you a penny. Easyfundrasing turns your daily online shopping into donations to the Trust. They partner with over 7,000 leading brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice.
