Celebrations as Porchester Junior School’s Under 11s Girls Football team represent Nottingham Forest in East Midlands Regional Qualifiers

Porchester Junior School in Carlton is celebrating the news that their Under 11 Girls football team have beaten the competition to represent Nottingham Forest in the East Midlands Regional Qualifiers.

Playing against 9 other schools, the Porchester team won all but two of their games to go forward to the finals.

Teaching Assistant and proud Coach, Callum Davey said: “I am so proud of the team, they are so coachable, they’re the best team a coach could ask for. They work well together and are always enthusiastic. When we realised we had won, we could barely contain our excitement.”

Callum added that “Porchester Junior School staff and children are fully behind their team. I would like to say that all of this is only possible because of incredible support we as a school, and the players, are receiving from their carers and families.

“It’s a team effort on and off the pitch to give these girls the support and opportunities they deserve. We are looking forward to playing in Derby on March 8.  I am hopeful we will perform the same, or even better than we did during the tournament.”

PICTURED: Pupils in the winning team are Evelyn (Year 5), Georgia (Year 5), Rose (Year 5), Belle (Year 6), Isabelle (Year 6), Ceyda (Year 5) and Annie (Year 5). (Photo: Lou Brimble)

Footballer, Rose is in year 5 and said: “Its fun being in the football team, it’s like having an extra family at school. Even in bad weather. We don’t care about the weather; we care about the football. I want to be a professional footballer when I am older and joining the team is the best thing I have ever done. I was really excited when we won, we were shouting and laughing and jumping up and down. It was the best moment ever.”

Fellow footballer Ceyda is in year 5 and she said: “I have been playing football outside of school and so really wanted to be on the school team. I think we are a good team, and we get on well with each other. We have a good coach too. I really hope we win in March, but we know it will take a lot of hard work.”

Annie is in year 5 and says her dad sparked her interest in the game from an early age. “My dad inspires me to play football, and he coaches me at home. I really love playing and being part of a team. Our Porchester team is great, and I feel a part of something really special. Mr Davey our team coach is all you could ask for, and we feel lucky to have him.”

Speaking of the recent win Annie added: “We were already feeling excited because we came first in the top group stages to get in the tournament final and then we won the final. I think we did well because we know how important teamwork is.

“I think we were all happy and amazed and I remember thinking ‘did we just do that?’. As this was our first tournament, and as we are new to this and not sure what to expect, I think we might have been doing silly dances and cheering a lot when we won.

“I hope that we can bring back another trophy and more medals from the finals in March, but if we can’t, we have already done amazing. But I really don’t see why we can’t bring home one more trophy”

Mr Randall said: “Fixing our roads is a priority of Gedling residents and mine and I will be asking the Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council about it live on Facebook on Tuesday February 13.”

Yesterday Gedling Eye revealed that an extra £4 million will now be needed to repair Nottinghamshire roads after highways suffered five times the amount of damage than normal in seasonal storms.

Nottinghamshire County Council says it is allocating the money for extra works following unprecedented rainfall during Storm Babet in October and Storm Henk in January.

The proposals, which will go before full council for approval later this month, will make repairing flood-damaged roads one of the top priorities.

The county council plans to allocate £4m from extra funding the government announced last month to start repairs.

Dry January is over for fans of The Pit Micropub in Newstead as venue prepares to reopen its doors after closing for month

It often comes as a surprise to people that Newstead Village is actually part of Gedling Borough. Tucked away just off the A611 between Hucknall and Annesley, it’s quite easy to bypass this former mining village which is also home to one of the best acoustic venues in Nottinghamshire.

The Pit Micropub was opened by Lorraine Horrocks back in 2017 following the closure of the village’s only pub The Station Hotel, which meant residents had to travel to Annesley Woodhouse for a drink – and since then, the venue has not only proved a hit with locals, but also music fans from the surrounding areas.

The venue has certainly supported Dry January by closing it’s doors for the month of January however they are back open on Friday February 9 at 4pm and customers are in for a real treat in 2024 as their reputation on the live music scene goes from strength to strength.

They will not only continue to showcase local artists that their customers have come to know and love over the past seven years, but with a reputation that precedes them an increasing pool of national and international talent are looking to The Pit to host their  shows.

We asked owner Lorraine Horrocks why she felt The Pit has been so successful on the music scene. “I believe it’s because through trial and error we have now found our niche and honed our skills as a quality acoustic venue.

“The cosy environment of The Pit lends itself so well to intimate gigs. For the customer they are able to be part of the whole show and interact with the artists either during the performance or at the bar afterwards.

“Our audience tends to lean towards people who have been live music fans for several decades and these days they are looking not just to hear the music but for the whole experience when they go to a gig. Good beers, quality sound, friendliness and accessibility. This also goes for the artists that hear about us. They are looking for a good experience too.

“We generally offer a mix of seating and standing at our shows and this is also an important factor. You can dance if you like or just sit and listen”

The Pit have already announced several gigs with Morris & Watson a contemporary folk duo from Barnsley, kicking off the year on Saturday 17th February.

Other artists announced include punk legend John Otway and 80’s goth rock band Ghostdance who will be playing an acoustic set to a sold out audience.


They have also told us that their extremely popular outdoor Summer Sunday Sessions that offer a mini festival vibe will be returning featuring a wide range of genres from country to pop. The sessions bring together an eclectic mix of customers simply relaxing and enjoying a refreshing beer whilst soaking up the music and run from 3pm to 5.30pm every Sunday starting on Easter Sunday and a food option is usually available.

We suspect that they will also be delivering a few special events during the year but so far we do not have any details. However, to keep up to date with the all the latest information you can sign up to their VIP club newsletter HERE – the V.I.P. club includes discounted drinks, priority access to gigs and other offers throughout the year.

If none of that sounds like your thing then how about a quiz on Sunday evenings or simply drop by whilst out on your dog walk to utilise their free WiFi and a cup of Italian coffee? Yes, it’s extremely dog friendly too!

With a free car park opposite, the train station just a stones throw away or on foot from Newstead Abbey and the Linby Trail, The Pit is much more accessible than you would think. Why not pop in and give it a try?

The Pit at Newstead can be found at Tilford Road, Newstead Village, NG15 0BN.

POTHOLES: Council say extra £4 million is now needed to repair Notts roads following storm damage

An extra £4 million is needed to repair Nottinghamshire roads after highways suffered five times the amount of damage than normal in seasonal storms.

Nottinghamshire County Council is allocating the money for extra works following unprecedented rainfall during Storm Babet in October and Storm Henk in January.

The proposals, which will go before full council for approval later this month, will make repairing flood-damaged roads one of the top priorities.

The county council plans to allocate £4m from extra funding the government announced last month to starting the repairs.

Council leader Councillor Ben Bradley (Con) said: “There’s been five times as much damage to the roads this winter than a normal winter due to the weather events.

Nottinghamshire County Council is expected to receive around £7m to carry out road repairs

“The additional investment will be welcome, and we will be getting on with repairs as the weather improves.”

A total of £500m will be shared between upper-tier local authorities after lobbying from MPs, with Nottinghamshire County Council expected to receive around £7m.

Councillor Neil Clarke, portfolio holder for Transport and Environment said: “With the unprecedented bad weather events we’ve had, we’ve had a double whammy of flooding damage plus the devastating condition to the roads.

“The extra money we’ve received from the government will allow us to allocate an extra £4m extra to help repair the damage from these events.”

The budget will now be debated by the full council on Thursday, February 22.

Match Report: Radford FC 0 – 1 Gedling Miners Welfare FC

Sat Feb 3 2024  ·  Division One

Gedling and Radford have had some serious battles in recent years and it was the same this year as the sides played out a 3-3 draw at Plains Road in November and both sides heading into this fixture were looking to climb closer to the play-offs.

The game started like a typical derby with both sides just finding each other out but Gedling started to find their feet and on 7 minutes they created their first chance as Felix Hogg played a superb ball to Muta Eisa in the box but Eisa dragged his effort wide of the post from 16 yards out.

Eisa was proving to be a problem for the hosts defence who were aimlessly kicking the ball up or out of play much to the amusement of some Gedling fans. The game went into a period of nothing until the 36th minute, Kieran Harrison drove towards the edge of the box before he was bundled over. Harrison then fired the free kick in which was pinballing in the Radford penalty area before it fell to Josh Lawe who’s effort was well blocked and the hosts eventually cleared.

Radford’s best chance of the half came in the second minute of stoppage time when a corner was spilt by Josh Mitchell and it fell to Jevin Seaton but his effort was brilliantly blocked by Solomon Godwin and the sides went into the break level.

It was Radford who started the second half better and on 56 minutes they should have taken the lead after a corner fell to Fola Fagbemi but he bicycle kicked it over from 6 yards out.

Once again it was a similar story to the first half with neither keeper being tested until the 76th minute, a deep corner from the hosts looked to be looping over Mitchell but he used his height to tip the ball away from danger and to keep his clean sheet intact.

On 85 minutes it was Gedling who broke the deadlock after a cross fell to captain Josh Thornton who hit a right footed volley from 16 yards which found the bottom left corner which sparked huge celebrations from the Gedling following and to give the Miners a 1-0 lead.

However they survived a massive scare in stoppage time as Seaton put the ball in the net but luckily for Gedling he was deemed to be offside which saw Seaton booked for his angry reaction towards the linesman. But Gedling held on for a huge 3 points and their first clean sheet since October 7 in what was a superb defensive display from all involved.
