Match Report: Worksop Town 4 – 0 Carlton Town

NPL First Division East

10 April 2023

A second half blitz saw Carlton Town lose 4-0 at NPL East champions Worksop Town.

The Millers held the Tigers in a goalless first half but an unfortunate Dan Brown own goal just three minutes after the restart breached the barricades and from then on it was only a question of how many the Tigers would score.  As it is, Carlton remain deep in relegation trouble but safety remains in their own hands with three games of the season to play.

Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey made three changes to the side which had beaten Consett last time out.  In came Lawrence Gorman, Lewis Durow and Kyle Tomlin for Alex Howes and Danny Elliott (both injured) and Aaron O’Connor.

Worksop featured ex-Miller Terry Hawkridge in their starting line-up.

The Tigers came into the game on the back of a league record 33 game unbeaten run and they attacked from the start with Vaughan Redford firing just wide on seven minutes.  Carlton responded and Niall Davie advanced down the left before crossing just in front of Alex Troke.

Worksop buzzed about all over the pitch but Carlton kept their shape well, with Jared Holmes and Khyle Sargent impressive in midfield and Dean Freeman and Brown dealing superbly with the threat down the middle.  Indeed, Worksop’s next real chance came on the half hour when a fierce 20-yard effort from Hawkridge was tipped over the bar wonderfully by Mikey Emery in the Carlton goal.

Davie took advantage of a slip by Josh Wilde to fashion a chance for Tomlin but his effort was wide of target.

The Millers were forced into a change at half time when Troke went off suffering from illness and he was replaced by O’Connor.   All Carlton’s hard work in the first half went out of the window three minutes into the second period in the most unfortunate of circumstances as Dan Brown’s attempted clearance of a cross from the right sliced behind him and past Emery into the goal.

Five minutes later Luke Hall doubled the home side’s lead, converting at the back post after a cross from the right.

With the rain coming down ever heavier it was now a question of damage limitation but Carlton’s task was made harder on 72 minutes when O’Connor went off injured.  With three substitutions having already been made that reduced the Millers to 10 men for the final period of the game.

Emery made another superb save from Hall before Aleks Starcenko made it 3-0 on 80 minutes, controlling the ball in the area and slotting home after some good switching of play by the Tigers.

With two minutes remaining Liam Hughes headed home a cross from the right to complete the scoring.  The same player had a golden chance to score again in added time when Worksop were awarded a penalty for a trip by Durow, but he fired his spot kick against the bar.

There was no disgrace in the defeat – Worksop have been head and shoulders above everyone else in the division this year – and Carlton will know the remaining three games of the campaign are amongst the most important in the club’s history.  The players were deservedly applauded off by the healthy travelling support notwithstanding the final score.

Gedling MP Tom Randall raises customer concerns with Lloyds manager over closure of Carlton Hill branch

Gedling MP Tom Randall has met with the manager of a local bank branch earmarked for closure in Carlton to raise customer concerns.

Lloyds Bank on Carlton Hill will shut this summer as major high street banks opt to transition more of their banking services online.

Gedling MP Tom Randall met with the branch manager of Carlton Hill’s Lloyds bank today (12), to discuss Lloyds decision to close the branch and to express the concerns of those Carlton Hill branch customers who had contacted him following the news.

The Carlton Branch of Lloyds Bank is due to close on July 26.

In a statement released today (12) Mr Randall wrote: “The Carlton Hill branch sadly closes on July 26. To ensure customers banking needs are still met once the branch closes, Lloyds has put in place a number of measures.”

These are as follows:

  • Partnered with the Post Office, where cash can be deposited and withdrawn, cheques banked and balances checked.
  • The closest Post Office to Carlton’s Lloyd branch is six shops down in the McColls store. Lloyds staff will be available to introduce customers to the Post Office.

To support the customers impacted by the Lloyds Carlton Hill branch closure, Lloyds have said they will offer the following:

  • They will telephone and send letters to vulnerable customers with the offer an appointment to discuss alternative banking methods;
  • Provide advice on alternative banking methods, such as telephone banking, online banking and Post Office services;
  • Provide free tablets and training to assist vulnerable customers in accessing online banking; and
  • Redeploy all its staff at the Parliament Street branch in Nottingham City.

Mr Randall added: “Access to cash is extremely important and I am pleased Carlton Hill and Carlton will still have outside cash points at Tesco Express, Foxhill Stores, Tesco in Carlton and the Post Office on Oakdale Road in addition to the inside cash withdrawal service at McColls six doors down from the Lloyds Bank.”

The borough’s high streets have been particularly hard hit this year with Arnold’s HSBC branch set to close in May despite pre-tax profits rising at the banking giant.

The Arnold HSBC closure is one of 114 branches across the UK that the HSBC will close from April.

Match Report: Carlton Town FC 2 – 1 Consett

NPL First Division East

8 April 2023

Carlton Town won at home for the first time in five months as they came from behind to beat Consett 2-1 at Stoke Lane.

The Millers recovered from a poor start to dominate the game and deservedly won for the fifth time in six games as they continued their unlikely battle against the drop.  Only goal difference now sees them in the relegation zone with four games of the season remaining.

Mark Harvey and Tommy Brookbanks made four changes to the side which had lost against Stockton Town last time out.  Into the side came Khyle Sargent, Niall Hylton, Danny Elliott and Aaron O’Connor in place of Lawrence Gorman, Kyle Tomlin, Kyle Dixon and Charlie Marzano.

Consett came into the game on the back of two successive wins knowing that another three points would banish any lingering relegation fears.  Backed by an impressive number of travelling fans they started much the better side and were ahead on just five minutes when Nathan Greenwood’s speculative effort from distance beat Mikey Emery at his near post.

The visitors almost doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Daniel Barlow lifted the ball over Emery only to see his shot strike the post and bounce back into the arms of the relieved goalkeeper.

The Steelmen suffered a blow midway through the half when centre half Daniel Capewell had to go off injured after a nasty looking collision.  It was perhaps no coincidence that after his departure it was Carlton who suddenly looked the more likely to score.

Goalkeeper Mark Foden made an excellent save at close range from O’Connor after an Alex Howes cross and the visitors scrambled the ball clear as Carlton looked set to score.

Shortly afterwards Alex Troke saw a shot blocked from another howes cross before Troke, Niall Davie and Jared Holmes combined well to force a corner.  Davie took the flag kick and when the ball was only half cleared Elliott fired high over the bar.

Elliott and Davie in particular were excelling in midfield and the latter should have been awarded a goal on the stroke of half time when his inswinging corner was pulled away from inside the goal by Foden.  The home supporters were clear that the ball had crossed the line before Foden had caught it but the linesman disagreed.

Davie didn’t have to wait long to get his recompense as he equalised two minutes into the second half, latching onto an Emery clearance, darting into the area and firing low past Foden at his near post.

Howes then picked up an injury which saw Lewis Durow come on at left back and Hylton push forward.  The switch saw the Millers swarm forward in search of a second goal.  O’Connor was pulled down when going clean though on goal by Ben Milburn 30 yards out to earn the Consett man a yellow card.  Troke almost made them pay more dearly with a fabulous free kick that cannoned off the crossbar with Foden beaten.

Holmes then flicked on a Durow throw to O’Connor who drew a fine save from Foden.

Elliott then won the ball in midfield and played in Davie who created an opportunity for Troke but his shot went wide.

Next it was Davie’s turn to breach the Consett defence only to be denied by Foden before Holmes lifted an effort just over the bar.

By this stage it was more or less all Carlton, with Consett unable to beat Dan Brown or Dean Freeman at the back and Sargent and Durow dealing with the wide threat.  The winning goal finally came with 15 minutes remaining after Milburn handled a Durow throw to gift the Millers a penalty.  Milburn picked up a second yellow card to reduce the Steelmen to 10 men and Troke stepped up to fire low into the corner to the delight of the home support.

Carlton had to be wary of a Consett equaliser and inevitably sat a little deeper in the final minutes of the game but in truth it was the Millers who should have extended their lead.  Holmes headed just over the bar and substitute Tomlin charged down a Foden attempted clearance and almost created a goal for Troke who mishit his shot.

Hylton then powered down the left wing and hit a fierce effort that beat Foden but crashed against the angle of post and bar before Davie saw another goalbound effort deflected away for a corner.

Ultimately it didn’t matter as the Millers secured a first home win, indeed their first home points, since mid-November.  They have given themselves a fighting chance of avoiding the drop and the supporters showed their appreciation at the final whistle.

Carlton Town: M Emery, K Sargent, N Hylton, D Brown, D Freeman, J Holmes, D Elliott (K Dixon 79), N Davie, A Troke, A O’Connor (K Tomlin 84), A Howes (L Durow 56). Unused substitutes: R Stainsby, L Gorman

Goals: N Davie 47, A Troke 75 (pen); Nathan Greenwood 5

MATCH REPORT: Gedling Miners Welfare FC 2 – 1 Kirby Muxloe

UCL Division 1

April 8, 2023

Gedling edge closer to safety after Kirby Muxloe victory.  

The Miners came into this game after a thumping 6-1 victory at Grantham Academy but started slowly again and on 8 minutes the visitors hit the front, Jahren Barrow gave possession away inside his own half and Adam Parry crossed for Tyler Love to slot past Louis Richardson from 5 yards to give Kirby the advantage.  

Gedling didn’t let their heads drop and just 3 minutes later they were level, Kieran Harrison won an aerial duel in the middle of the park which fell to Courtney Hastings who slipped in Ruben Wiggins-Thomas and the experienced forward slotted the ball into the bottom left corner from 15 yards for his 8th of the campaign to draw the hosts level.  

Kirby, who sit 10th in the table should have taken the lead just 3 minutes after Gedling levelled, Lucca Watson-Quilter beat the offside trap and only had Richardson to beat but Gedling’s shot stopper stayed tall and made a brilliant save to keep the scores level.  

Richardson again kept Gedling in it as on 19 minutes Parry mishit an effort from 5 yards with the goal gaping but Richardson did well to get across and tip the ball out for a corner.  

Gedling began to enjoy spells of possession and on 24 minutes Kirby’s keeper was called into action, Paolo Piliero and Greg Tempest combined well down the left and Piliero put it across to Josh Thornton who hit a sweet first time strike from 20 yards which was beaten away.  

On 31 minutes the hosts were given a chance to go in front, Wiggins-Thomas did well to hold up the ball before spinning his man who dragged him down in the box and the ref pointed to the spot. Captain Thornton took responsibility and slotted the penalty into the bottom right corner for his 4th of the season and to give Gedling the lead.  

The Miners didn’t sleep on this lead and went about looking for a 3rd and created a golden chance on 34 minutes, Harrison again won back possession before picking out Wiggins-Thomas who squared to Zachary Hill who scuffed his effort from 10 yards and the ball was put back into the area, but Hastings acrobatic effort flew over the bar.  

On 38 minutes Gedling went close again, a clever corner saw Harrison peel off to the edge of the area and his effort was deflected onto the crossbar from Barrow and the visitors cleared and Gedling went into the break 2-1 up.  

On 56 minutes Gedling were let off massively, the visitors broke down the right before a cross picked out the unmarked Kieran Alleynw who somehow dragged his effort wide from 4 yards out.  

Gedling were defending brilliantly as a unit and on 73 minutes they had a glorious chance to extend the lead, Hill who was brilliant throughout was 1v1 with the visitor’s keeper, but Gedling’s winger effort was saved.  

On 83 minutes Gedling’s task was made harder, Barrow was shown a 2nd yellow card for kicking the ball away and the miners had to play the final stages with 10 men.  

On 88 minutes Richardson preserved the lead as he did brilliantly to tip Parry’s powerful header over the bar and the miners held on for another massive 3 points to move 5 points clear of the drop zone.

MATCH REPORT: Grantham Town Academy FC 1 – 6 Gedling Miners Welfare FC

UCL Division 1

April 4, 2023

Six of the best for Gedling in a vital victory.  

The Miners had been in poor form lately and found themselves in the drop zone before the game and started slowly and on 8 minutes Grantham Academy hit the front, a ball over the top saw Oli Skinner poke past the oncoming Louis Richardson from 16 yards but the visitors felt there was a handball in the build-up.  

Gedling began to find their feet and on 18 minutes they were level, Greg Tempest found Ruben Wiggins-Thomas in space, and he played in Zachary Hill who slammed an effort past the keepers near post from 10 yards for his 2nd goal in 4 outings.  

On 20 minutes Tempest whipped in a corner that Adrian Hawes headed at the keeper from a narrow angle but just 50 seconds later the Gedling centre back found the net from a brilliant Jahren Barrow cross that Hawes headed into the corner from 15 yards to give the visitors the lead.

Gedling continued to push and on 27 minutes the influential Tempest almost had his name on the scoresheet after Courtney Hastings did well to hold the ball up and Tempest then powered an effort which the keeper saved well to keep the score to 2-1.  

Hill was also causing havoc down the right, and he nearly added his 2nd of the night on 34 minutes as he won back possession and drove to the edge of the box before his right footed effort was beaten away by the hosts keeper.  

In the first minute of first half stoppage time the miners scored again, a short back pass saw Wiggins-Thomas pounce to slot the ball into the bottom right corner from 8 yards for his 7th of the season and to give the visitors a deserved 3-1 half time lead.  

Gedling didn’t drop off and just 3 minutes after the restart the lead was extended, Hill did brilliantly to keep an overhit ball in and he layed it back to Barrow who whipped in another superb cross and Hastings powered a header into the top left corner from 15 yards.  

Just 3 minutes later Hastings could have scored again after Hill picked him out in the area, but Gedling’s number 9 couldn’t quite get his shot off and the defender blocked.  

On the hour the experienced Wiggins-Thomas almost scored a wonderful solo effort as he drove to the edge of the box and took on 2 players with some brilliant skill, but his effort was well saved by the Grantham keeper.

But just 2 minutes later Gedling added a 5th of the night, Kieran Harrison whipped in a free kick which the skipper Josh Thornton headed into the bottom right corner for his 3rd of the season and the kill off the game.

The scoring was complete in the 80th minute as another short back pass was capitalised on this time by Hastings who rounded the keeper and scored for his 2nd of the night and a 10th of the season.  

Hastings should have had the match ball as Paolo Piliero slipped in Wiggins-Thomas who squared to Gedling’s top scorer, but he fell over before he could take his short and the chance was gone bit Gedling earned a massive 3 points to lift them back out of the drop zone with 3 games to go.
