Match Report: Matlock 41 – 38 Paviors

-

15/04/2024

Papa John’s Cup First Round Saturday April 13

League games between the two clubs were very tight affairs, with Pavs taking a close win at Cromford Meadow and Matlock doing the same at Burntstump. To those used to the grim and muddy conditions of a Wintery Matlock, the warm and mostly sunny weather came as a welcome surprise. The underfoot conditions, looked somewhat dodgy and not conducive to running rugby, but the quality of the game that played out belied this.

Pavs made a bright start to the game, keeping the ball through several phases. Eventually, fleet footed Will Taylor motored through the Matlock defence to touch down and give Pavs a 7-0 lead with the Billam extras on ten minutes. Prop Theo Collier received an abrasion and departed for treatment to be replaced by Conner Tomlinson. Matlock then found their feet in the game and levelled matters at 7-7 with sixteen minutes on the clock. The patched up Collier returned at the same time.

More was to come from Matlock as they gained in confidence and Pavs seemed to switch off. They scored three tries in the next ten minutes, two of which were interceptions to put them almost out of sight, interspersed by a try by the promising young flanker Bailey Mayo.

Half time score 31-12 Matlock.

During the break Craig Ward made his debut in replacing the injured Harry Pritchard.

Matters did not improve for Pavs at the beginning of the second half when the unfortunate Mayo took a team yellow and Matlock extended their lead to 34-12 with a penalty.

Fly half George Billam found a way through to score and convert his own try to bring the score to 34-19 on fifty six minutes.

Pavs could not keep the momentum going, however , and Matlock went further ahead on sixty minutes at 41-19.

At this point, Mayo returned and Jonty Green replaced Ben Taylor at scrum half as Pavs sought to change things up, as the phrase goes.

The final twenty minutes saw Pavs regain their vim and vigour and nearly snatch victory as the clock ran out.

On sixty five minutes Kieran Wells completed a powerful drive and in so doing boosted Pavs somewhat erratic confidence. Billam added the extras to bring the score to 41-26. Danny Green entered the fray for the injured Morgan Jones minutes later.

On sixty nine minutes the mercurial Green took a quick tap penalty before executing a truly fabulous cross field kick to wing Alex Rimmington to catch and touch down with the Matlock defence looking somewhat bemused. So Pavs back in touch at 41-31 with ten minutes left to play.

Young debutee Oliver Park replaced Alex Barton on the wing as the game moved into the final five minutes. Pavs kept pressing and Will Taylor went in for his second try and with the Billam extras brought them back on terms at 41-38. Unfortunately, for Pavs this was to be the last play, so the burgeoning sense of hope that they felt was cruelly dashed.

For the spectator, this was a captivating game where fortune and form swung wildly. Pavs on top at the start, Matlock took the plaudits for a strong middle phase, while Pavs snatched the momentum back in the last twenty.

Pavs will rue the number of errors they made in open play, but will be relatively pleased by the overall style. The 2023/24 season now comes to an end. Lots to be pleased and proud of, yet a good deal to still work on. The squad will now have a period of rest and recuperation to refresh the bodies and most importantly the minds before they return to pre season training in the first week of July. Onwards……..!!!

Starting XV: Kieran Wells (1 try) +, Owen Taylor +, Theo Collier (VC), Harry Pritchard +, Alistair Plant +, Josh Flanagan +, Bailey Mayo (1 try) +, Phil Eggleshaw +, Ben Taylor, George Billam (1 try, 4 conv) +, Alex Rimmington (1 try), Doug Billam (C) +, Morgan Jones, Alex Barton +, Will Taylor (2 tries) +

Match Report: Newton Aycliffe 1 – 3 Carlton Town

NPL First Division East – 13 April 2024

Carlton Town moved back into the playoff positions with a 3-1 win at fellow promotion contenders Newton Aycliffe.

The Millers responded in excellent style to the defeat against Hebburn from their previous game and goals from Nial Hylton, Niall Davie and Nat Watson had the game effectively won inside the first hour. Aycliffe never gave up and Carlton had to rely on a number of fine saves from Felix Annan, but the home side only had a late consolation from Liam Jarvie to show for their efforts.

Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey made one change from the side which had lost to the Hornets with Greg Tempest returning for Mamadou Sylla-Diallo who dropped to the bench.

In bright sunshine in the North East Carlton got off to the perfect start and were ahead within five minutes. Watson played the ball across to Hylton on the right. He darted past Toby Pascoe and from a narrow angle lashed the ball into the roof of the net before goalkeeper James Winter could react.

Winter then did very well to save from the dangerous Lamin Manneh before Aycliffe responded with their first attack of the game which was thwarted by a great tackle from Dan Brown.

Carlton though had control of the game and looked threatening every time they went forward and they extended their lead midway through the half. Watson knocked the ball to Lewis Durow, He fed Davie whose first shot was blocked. The ball fell to Alex Howes and he slipped the ball into the path of Davie again and his effort from just inside the area beat Winter and nestled in the far corner of the net.

Newton Aycliffe did send over some dangerous crosses but Annan dealt with them all, albeit Jack Naylor went close when he hit the side netting.

The Millers almost added a third in first half stoppage time. Manneh sped away down the left, beat three defenders and saw his shot saved by the outstretched foot of Winter. The ball looped up into the air and Watson headed towards goal at the far post but the angle was too great and the ball went just wide.

However Watson only had to wait until nine minutes into the second half to get his goal and it was a lovely one. A ball out of defence sent Manneh away on the left. He showed great control after the ball had initially hit him on the back and he jinked into the area beating Naylor before pulling the ball back to Watson who smashed home to the delight of the small band of travelling fans behind the goal.

Aycliffe had the ball in the net a couple of minutes later only to see a linesman’s flag rule it out for offside and Annan had to save from Naylor shortly afterwards.

With games on Tuesday and Thursday to come Carlton made changes and Aycliffe enjoyed more possession in the final 20 minutes of the game. The Millers defence held firm, with Brown and Khyle Sargent keeping the home strikers under control and Durow and David Adegbola dealing with the threat on the wings.

Howes impressed again in his deeper role and Annan frustrated the home side with some fine saves when needed, including an excellent stop from Jarvie.

Jarvie did get his goal on 89 minutes when Annan saved his first effort but could do nothing about the rebound but Carlton saw out the five added minutes to record a fine win and move up to fifth in the table with five games left to play.

Carlton Town: F Annan, D Adegbola, L Durow, D Brown, K Sargent, G Tempest (M Sylla-Diallo 65), L Manneh, A Howes, N Watson (A Hardwick 68), N Davie, N Hylton (M Jebbison 74). Unused subs: D Freeman, L Gorman

Goals: N Hylton 5, N Davie 32, N Watson 54; Liam Jarvie 89

Start your engines – Woods Motor Club welcomes all motor enthusiasts

Woods Motor Club was set up in 2020 by Carl Greensmith, a motor enthusiast who was looking for a way to connect with like-minded people who share his passion for all things motor related.

Gedling Eye caught up with Carl to hear about the club’s origins and the club’s plans for the year ahead. Carl said: “I have always had a passion for French cars and have tried to get away from them for many years but to no avail.

“Over the years I have been involved in a number of model-specific car clubs and whilst I have enjoyed them, I felt that I could offer a club that was all-inclusive for any type of motor, whether it be a car, motorbike, modern, classic, vintage or anything in between. So I created Woods Motor Club, an all-inclusive motor club.”

The club is based in the village of Woodborough but welcomes members from across the county and the next event is on Saturday April 20 at The Nags Head pub in Woodborough from 9:30am – 12:00pm with hot food and drinks available.

Carl added: “It is not about the car, motorbike or anything else you drive. It is about who you are, what you love, where you get your kicks from and if you share our passion, then you are in.

“We organise 3 or 4 events a year and you will always be warmly welcomed by one of the event organisers and our members.”

New Bar and restaurant planned for former TSB seeks pavement licence in Mapperley

Gedling Borough Council planners are to consider an application submitted by Paul Hicking Associates acting as agent on behalf of Alora Restaurant Ltd. for a pavement licence at 31 Plains Road, Mapperley.

The planning application relates to a paved area in front of the former TSB bank building referring to a ‘Change of use to allow use of paved area in front of bar and restaurant for outdoor seating.’

PICTURED: Proposed location for the pavement licence (Courtesy of Gedling Borough Council planning)

A Design, Access and Planning (DAP) statement provided in support of the planning application states that the site comprises of an area of block paving behind the main public pavement along the frontage of the existing former TSB bank building which is currently being converted and extended as part of the change of use for the Alora bar and restaurant. This paving also extends along the frontage of the adjacent shops and café.

PICTURED: Proposed seating layout (Courtesy of Gedling borough Council planning)

The DAP statement further advises formation of the outdoor seating area is proposed to be by way of self-supporting screens and landscape planters placed onto the surface of the paving to form an informal enclosure with many points of access. Tables and chairs will then be placed within this area. The screens, planters and seating are not proposed to be fixed to the pavement and therefore are not permanent and can be removed at any time. The design of the screens, planters and chairs will link with the identity of the bar and restaurant and are of a bespoke design specifically made for the Alora bar and restaurant.
