Trent FC Reserves v Ansley Social FC - Divsion One

In Deslandes Premier Two Ambleside provided an excellent piece of sportsmanship, which is rarely reported. During their 1-1 draw with Wentworth Wanderers, Ambleside’s Ben Hartle went down in the box and his team immediately shouted for a penalty. Ben got up and went to the referee, not to harangue him but to say that he had not been touched. An actioned that is very much missing from football. Did he get booked for a dive? No he didn’t but those who ask the question are missing the point. In the game itself, after a goal as first half, Wentworth took the lead through Adie White. Their lead lasted only 2 minutes before Ian Chaddaway levelled from the penalty spot for Ambleside. Weddington Thistle stay top despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal. Nick Ginnelli was on target for Crystal, Alex Evans replied for Weddington. Dave Stringer scored twice for Bedworth Travellers, Glen Stringer and Steve Bartlett scored the others as they drew 4-4 with Bedworth Liberals.

Ridge Lane succumbed 5-1 to Lea Hall Sports & Social, while Bulkington White Lion lost a controversial tie with London Road Social 3-2.
