Worksop Town 2-1 Carlton Town
Just a quick entry as I wasn’t originally going to write a blog about the game however, I have decided to tell you a little about the day.
One reason I wasn’t going to blog is because I was stewarding the Rotherham United vs Millwall game and finished at 2.30 (more like 2.45 though!) which meant I would arrive late at Sandy Lane. I was mainly in the concourse so I will able to watch parts of the game on the TV screen. Rotherham won the game thanks to a Sean Raggett header in the twentieth minute. The game, which I saw in between overseeing the smoking area and the fence which split the Millers and the Lions walking out of the stadium (which I found rather amusing hearing both their taunts at each other), seemed rather boring and limited of quality. I was finally taken off shift and able to find my lift and race over to S80!
I arrived at Sandy Lane around twenty minutes into the first half. The score was already 1-1.
Edward Clarke got the host’s in front five minutes in as he (based on Twitter) capitalised on a long throw in and a scrap in the box to put his side into an early lead.
Kyle Jordan did what Kyle Jordan does as the in form striker tucked his penalty home to level the tie. This was KJ’s eighth goal in six games.
I arrived in time to see a magnificent twenty-five yard free-kick from the magician who goes by the name of Steve Woolley. His set-piece went over the wall and nestled into the back of the net past a Carlton keeper who was in full stretch.
Worksop were the better team in the second half as they confirmed their game pace in the next round as they travel to Nantwich Town on Saturday, 8th September.
The other reason I wasn’t going to do a blog was because I was keen to stand and watch the game with my mates whilst having a sing song. The first chant that was being bellowed was ‘I’m too Sykesy for my shirt’ which for most people would make them turn around and go home! But that is the norm for the Barmy Army, silly chants and big laughs.
Not to worry though, the next report I will be doing is the League Cup tie between Sheffield Wednesday and Wolverhampton Wanderers so keep your eyes peeled for that one!
