suffered an embarrassing defeat to in- form Greenwood Meadows at Greenwich Avenue, the away side winning 7-0 to increase the pressure on the leaders. Ben Cheetham scored a hat-trick for Wollaton res to help them thrash Clifton 8-3. Paul Marcowski also scored twice, and Paige, Magee and Roe all netted to complete the rout. Awsworth Villa res went to the top of Division Two with an 8-0 hammering of Attenborough res, Towle (4), Henson, Clarke, Hughes and Chore all scoring. In the County Cup, Calverton MW Academy are through to the semi finals of the Minor Section after a 7-4 win over Real United. Academy were 4-0 up at one stage during the first half but pegged back to 4-4 in an amazing game of goals at the Embankment which was topped for the away side with a Rhys Jeffries hat-trick, two from Jack Hopper and one each for Callum Moss and Liam Whelan. Sandhurst however failed to reach the last four of the Intermediate Section Cup after losing 3-0 at home to Carlton Town Reserves.

Inter-league games cancelled againThe start of this year's Inter League Charity Tournament has again been postponed due to the weather with both of this week's matches called off. The MAA were set to play the NSL on Tuesday (17th) and the following day the East Midlands Veterans playing the NAA. The competition should go ahead proper in March but the decision may be re-visited with a back log of fixtures already caused by the recent arctic weather.

After 20 games of the season, Bilborough Town finally picked up their first points of the Division One season with a convincing 3-0 away win at Kimberley res. David Farrell scored two, Terry Redfearne added the third and the defence kept their first clean sheet of the season to secure Town their first three points of the campaign. It still looks bleak for Bilborough however, eight points behind Kimberley, who are second bottom. In the Senior Division, Boots jumped into second with an entertaining 6-2 win against bottom club Gedling Southbank. Sam Winch and a Greg Watnall brace, which takes his goal tally to twelve, helping Boots race into a 3-0 lead after just ten minutes. Veteran Karl Clowery pulled one back for Gedling but Rich Saunders restored Boots three goal advantage to give them a 4-1 half time lead. Jack Smith netted and Jamie Archer added a sixth, his first since signing from Heanor, and Clowery scored his second, a consolation for Southbank. Magdala were also amongst the goals, an emphatic 4-0 victory over Hucknall Rolls Leisure, Chris Wright (2), Oli Gee and Ashley Robinson on the score-sheet, a result which helps Magdala climb to fourth. Wollaton are through to the next round of the League Cup after seeing off plucky Division Two side Bottesford 3-1. Michael Bannister Michael Evans and Nick Evans scoring for the Senior Division side who were made to work hard by their lower division opponents. Basford United are also through after a 5-2 win over Attenborough. Bilborough Pelican won their reversed cup tie against Cotgrave comfortably 4-0, Blanchard getting a hat-trick, Mark Gadsby with the other. In Division One table toppers Bulwell

Notts County made it three wins from four home games with a 2-0 victory over Barnet this afternoon. A superb chip by Matt Hamshaw opened the scoring at Meadow Lane two minutes before the break and Jamie Clapham's fine free-kick just after the hour ensured the points were Notts. To cap off a good afternoon for County Richard Butcher and Adam Tann made their first-team returned after long spells on the sidelines with injury. Ian McParland handed a first-ever League start to young striker Ben Fairclough for the visit of the Bees in place of eight-goal Jamie Forrester, who failed to win his fitness battle to shake off a toe problem. Young Nat Wedderburn, on loan from Stoke, was also handed a starting berth in place of Adam Nowland in central midfield. After sustaining a hamstring injury two weeks ago against Chesterfield Nowland was only considering fit enough for a place on the bench. He was joined amongst the substitutes by midfield duo Gavin

Strachan and Richard Butcher after long-term injuries. The game got underway with Notts attacking towards the Victoria Centre Kop Stand in the first half, and they were almost treated to an early goal but Jamie Clapham's low drive from outside the box whistled just wide. Goalmouth action was limited early on, but Notts were enjoying a little more of the ball and were looking lively going forwards. The quick-footed Fairclough was playing on the shoulders of Yakubu and Breen and always looking to get in behind the backline with his pace, and twice he forced Yakubu to make last-gasp interventions when advancing towards Harrison's goal. He came even closer on twenty-five minutes with a close-range effort that thundered back off the bar from Weston's cross, but the offside flag was raised and if he had found the net the goal wouldn't have stood. Weston was tightly marked by Devera down the left throughout, but when the 20-year-old did get away down the wing he was able to provide a number of fine crosses that put the Barnet defence on the back foot. Notts did make the breakthrough two minutes before the break however, and when it did come it was a moment of class from Matty Hamshaw that broke the deadlock. A long ball forwards wasn't dealt with by the Bees defence at all and with Harrison stranded way off his line HamshawReport continued to page 8

I have heard good things about the enthusiasm and thrust of the St Andrew's crowd. But on this evidence, it is one of the worst places in the country to watch football. Inside it is grey and dull and has the suffocating feel of a workhouse. Out in the stands it is not a lot better. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Birmingham fans made as little sound as is physically possible until they look the lead. Not that there was a lot to shout about. The first half was dogged, unpleasant and irritating. Forest contained the hosts but rarely threatened beyond Tyson's bursts of pace. There were one or two moments of promise as Cohen battled forward and mustered some excellent football, but the sparks of inspiration faded with the game. An early Tyson breakaway, which eventually proved to be one of Forest's best chances, ended with him ballooning his shot into the stratosphere. It was no surprise – the furrowed pitch was fit for rugby league. Or cricket in Antigua. Birmingham did not have a lot to their game. McLeish has an impressive battery at his disposal, but it was Forest's defensive fragility that gave the home side their edge. Even so, Paul Smith's save from Larsson's free-kick - just a minute before the break - was one of the first saves of the match. The first half seemed to have lasted a week. Billy Davies made a

spirited attempt to raise spirits with a rallying call on his way to the dressing room. The Birmingham fans, meanwhile, received their half-time 'special guests' with silent ignorance. Sadly the second half was always destined to fall in their favour. Forest had worked tirelessly and defended desperately to keep the contest open, but with Tyson frustrated and Garner invisible it was probably always going to be a 0-0 or a defeat. The first goal was a huge blow. Davies' brought on Newbold and McCleary and for a few minutes there seemed to be life in the side. But the longer Forest played without equalising, the less threatening they looked. Birmingham's second was a perfectly-executed toe-poke from a tight angle. I think I made more of an attempt to save it than Smith did. The game ended with a winded Forest side clinging on to its dignity as Birmingham searched for a third. It was not a disastrous performance by any means, but Forest's weaknesses are again being exposed for all to see. The Reds could be heading unstoppably for a dogfight that could so easily have been avoided by January action. Match Ratings:Smith – 5.5 –A shaky performance. At one stage he aimed a limp wrist at a comfortable cross and missed completely. Chambers – 5.5 – some of his forward passing was very poor. Wilson – 5.5 – solid in patches, but he lost control for the first goal. Morgan – 6 – lifted spirits with another cameo in attack, but one or two mistakes in defence. Moloney – 5.5 – missed a couple of headers and found himself stretched for most of the game. Heath – 6 – worked exceptionally hard to stay afloat and was one of the better defenders on the day. McGugan – 7.5 – not a particularly combative effort, but he had several magic moments with his footwork to carve out opportunities. Perch – 6.5 – some important tackles to ease pressure on the defence. Cohen - 7.5 – another tireless effort and some good football. Garner – 5 – not involved. Tyson – 7 – his pace is a tremendous asset, but alone it is not enough. Subs: Newbold – 6, McCleary – 6, Breckin – 6Report by Alex Campbell

NOTTS SUNDAY FOOTBALL LEAGUE - CUP SHOCK AS CLUMBER BEAT SCOTSMAN & CLIFTON VILLA DEFEAT SCOTS GREY!Once again this weekend, the adverse weather bit deep into the fixtures with only two surviving in the whole of the Premier Section. However, both Notts FA Senior Trophy semi-finals survived and produced surprising outcomes. Holders; Flying Scotsman from Retford travelled to Clumber and left with their tails between their legs having been soundly thrashed 6-1.Jared Westcarr got the hosts off to a flying start by netting after just two minutes and twenty minutes later repeated the feat. It was 2-0 at the break and Scotsman hit back soon after the restart through John Woodward. However, this was just a small glitch in the proceedings as Sirus O'Connor restored the two goal cushion and then Clumber went on the rampage in the last quarter, with Westcarr doubling his tally with two more goals and Wes Burke completing in spectacular style with a 25 yard screamer.The other tie was equally exciting with last years finalists and three times winners Scots Grey falling to their nemesis, Clifton Villa.It didn't appear that a surprise was on the cards as Jamie Moore swept Scots into an early lead but Villa weren't to be denied and Justin Jenkins fired them level after 25 minutes. This boosted their confidence and Antwon Bonnick netted a double to give them a 3-1 advantage at half-time. Scots Grey are renowned for their resilience and Will Heath reduced the arrears mid way through the second period only to be eclipsed almost immediately by a fourth goal from Carl Spencer to give Villa a well deserved 4-2 victory and form an all Sunday League Final.In the League, Division One outfit, Trowsers were rewarded for their efforts to find a playable ground by taking over at the top by virtue of a 5-1 defeat of Stratford Haven. Grant Redwood netted a pair, supported by efforts from Wayne Loseby, Arron Bagguley and Jodie Hughes, as Joel English replied.It was similar circumstances and the same outcome between Rolls Royce Leisure Villa and Portland Arms HH. Portland's ground at the racecourse was deemed unfit and both sides agreed to reverse the fixture to play at Hucknall. This proved positive for the home side as Adam Brown struck twice and Ross Cheeseman once in a 3-1 victory that took Rolls to the head of the table. Dan Walsh responded for Portland Arms HH.Report by John Wheat

More news and confusion recently over whether or not we football should not be an Olympic sport, and that, as an will have a GB Football team at the Olympics. It seems the under-23 event, it is discriminatory and that clubs would English FA are for it but the Scottish, Welsh and Northern lose players for a vital part of the season.

The letter was sent to Fifa, football's has handed in a petition to the SFA opposing it.

CENTRAL MIDLANDS LEAGUEIn the Buckingham Insurance Supreme Division, Lincolnshire club Harrowby United, stopped a run of fourteen matches without a win, at Rolls Royce Leisure, the visitors winning impressively 4-1. This result took Harrowby above Rolls in the table, into sixteenth place. Jamie Hales led the way for United, scoring twice, Simon Bowland and Paul Chettle adding the other goals. Paddy McShane scored for Rolls but the home team did not help themselves by missing two penalties. 4-0 in front at half time, Newark Town where seemingly on the way to a big victory over visitors Kinsley Boys, at Collingham but the second half certainly belonged to the visitors but they where only able to pull one goal back, converted by Lee Beckley after 65 minutes. Matt Roche (2), Ian Wain and Sam Wilford scored for Newark Town. A welcome win, after recent reversals at home, for the Town, the win takes them up to sixth place. Immediately above Newark, in fifth place, are Ollerton Town, they gave an impressive performance, at home, against Pinxton winning 3-0, with goals by Julian Topliss, Rob Evans and Keir Webster. Phoenix Sports and Social, secured a great win over the leaders of the Black Dragon Premier Division, Westella & Willerby last Saturday. Certainly at half time, today, they looked like repeating that impressive performance, at home, against Derbyshire visitors Parkhouse. 2-0 in front, both goals being converted by the impressive, Erbima Mendy, one a penalty that he put away in style it seemed that Phoenix would go on and win comfortably, but Parkhouse did not read the script and scored twice in the last ten minutes to share the points. David Chambers and Ashley Barber scored the goals that gave some comfort to the visiting supporters on their return home to Derbyshire. It could have been different if Mendy had not missed a last minute penalty, which would have given him his hat trick. Thoresby Colliery Welfare had a

comfortable home win against Bulwell Town winning 5-0. Ross Whitehead (2), Matthew Wright, Matthew Worthington and Tony Buchanan scoring the goals. Two matches took place in the Abacus Lighting Reserves Supreme Division. Lee Day hit a brace for Dunkirk Reserves, who won an eight goal thriller, against visitors Belper Town Reserves, the Nottinghamshire team won 5-3. A last minute goal scored by Craig Burton, gave Teversal Reserves victory over the bottom team Radford Reserves, the visitors winning 2-1. Danny Plum scored the other goal for Teversal in the first half, Joe Lowe equalising for Radford after the interval. Welbeck Welfare may be bottom of the Black Dragon Premier Division, but their cup exploits are well known, again today they gave high flying Louth Town problems, before they bowed out of the Quartet Catering League Challenge Cup, losing their Third Round tie 2-1. In a match described as a credit to the CMFL, the visitors took the lead right on half time with a goal by Sam Smith; this was hard on the home team who had certainly the better of the opening forty five minutes. Louth stepped up a gear after the interval and doubled their score on the hour, Paul Watts scoring. Leigh Warriner pulled a goal back for Welbeck but there was no happy ending, on this occasion for the home team, but they can be proud of their displays again in this competition. In a Notts F A Intermediate Cup Quarter Final tie, Carlton Town Reserves reached the Semi-Finals with a 3-0 away win at Sandhurst.Report by Frank Harwood

EAST MIDLANDS COUNTIES LEAGUEOnce more the weather took its toll, leaving only 1 match played out off the complete programme. Gedling Town played host to Heanor Town who took the lead after 12 minutes through an own goal. Graham Epps eventually equalised for Gedling on the half hour so that the teams

on six minutes. As one of the seven sides who have applied for promotion to the UniBond League, they may feel they still have a slight chance of going despite being twelve points behind Mickleover Sports as they have a couple of games in hand of the leaders. Maltby Main have moved up to eleventh after they produced a remarkable comeback to claim a 2-2 draw at home to Parkgate. Mark Caine struck twice in five minutes just after the half-hour mark to give the visitors what was a seemingly comfortable cushion going into the last eleven minutes. But, Maltby were not going to be denied as Rob Branagan halved the deficit on 79 minutes before, five minutes later, Neil Longhurst also found the net to share the spoils. There was also late drama at Langwith Road as a last-minute strike from Chris Coy earned Thackley a 2-1 victory at Shirebrook Town. Darryll Leach had put the away side ahead on the hour mark and Shirebrook, who are in the bottom four, looked to be heading for defeat when they levelled the scores. Marc Sherlock grabbed the equaliser on 85 minutes but they could not hold on and Coy struck to give

Thackley the win that keeps them eighth but now four points clear of the side below them, Hallam. In the only Division One game played, Scarborough Athletic's seemingly relentless run to the title continued with a 6-0 win at home to Bottesford Town. Rob Ellis started the scoring in the second minute but the Seadogs had to wait until early into the second period before they added to that. David Hartas doubled their lead before four goals in fifteen minutes made sure of the win to move them eleven points clear with games in hand. Daniel Gray grabbed a double whilst the League's top scorer Ryan Blott and Richard Medcalf also found the net in a comfortable victory in front of a crowd of 477 at Queensgate.

turned round level at the break. 3 minutes into the 2nd half Aaron Ryan put Gedling in front and the flood gates opened with Epps adding his 2nd on the hour mark and Aaron Large adding a 20 minute hat trick to complete the scoring. The victory put Gedling back in 2nd spot, on goal difference above Dunkirk, and 1 point behind leaders Kirby Muxloe. Heanor, with only 4 points posted in 2009, continue to struggle just above the bottom of the table in 14th place.

Hyde United 2Hucknall Town 0Hucknall Town suffered their first defeat of 2009 when they were beaten 2-0 at Hyde United in the big Blue Square North relegation tussle at Ewen Fields. In truth it wasn`t a good performance by the Yellows and they can have little complaint at the scoreline conceding two goals in the minute before half time. Town took the field without striker Gary Ricketts, who was serving a one match suspension, and Deon Meikle was on the subs bench. The first goal came on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot when Cashell Walters handled and Hyde`s leading goalscorer Chris Simm converted the spot kick. Worse was to follow for the visitors seconds later, when in time added on David Morley powered home a header to double the home side`s advantage. Hucknall came into the game a little in the second half but failed to create any real clear cut chances and a disappointing afternoon ended with nothing to show. Town have it all to do now next Saturday when the face a long trip to Gateshead for their next Blue Square North league game.Hucknall Town: Lindley, Walters (C), Walters (T), Ward (O`Brien 45 mins), Timons, Sucharewycz (Meikle 75 mins), Wilson, Mitchell, Farrell (Kettle 32 mins), Bacon, Liburd Unused subs Baxter, Smith

Carlton Town 0Lincoln United 1Carlton Town started in lively fashion on a heavy pitch and almost took the lead in the 2nd minute with Daryll Thomas forcing Mario Ziccardi into a good save. Carlton continued the attack forcing the Lincoln defence into conceding several corners but nothing came from this pressure. Thomas again had a good opportunity but shot wide after being put through by Marquin Smith. It took half an hour before Lincoln tested out Carlton keeper Ali Barcherini when Ben Good shot wide of the post. Danny George kept carlton at bay just before the interval after clearing a Martin Ball shot off the line with Ziccardi beaten. Good again replied for the visitors but tamely shot at Barcherini. Carlton started brightly in the second half but found the Lincoln

defence in no mood to concede a goal. As the game went on Carlton continued to press forward beginning to leave their defence open to counter attack. In the dying moments of the game Carlton were caught not clearing their lines and a loose ball fell to Sean Cann to shoot home and win the game.Notts County Report continued from page 4produced the most delicate of chips from twenty-two yards to lift the ball over the goalkeeper and into the net. The goal was Hamshaw's second of the season and his first at Meadow Lane since his summer move from Mansfield. It was the final action of the first half, and a huge confident boost for the Magpies to go in at the interval a goal to the good. Barnet started the second half looking for a quick response and Porter replaced Yakubu at the back. Bolasise headed wide from Adomah's cross nine minutes into the second half with, in all honesty, Barnet's first attempt at goal when he should really have done better from ten yards out. At the other end a superb Notts move down the right created a chance for Facey but his goalbound header was blocked on the line by Devera. Hamshaw and Picken combined superbly down the right to send Hamshaw scampering away down the wing and his pin-point cross found Facey unmarked six yards out but Devera got some part of his body in the way and Barnet survived. But, with their next opportunity, Notts did make it 2-0. Fairclough was fouled on the edge of the box and free-kick specialist Jamie Clapham stepped up to superbly curl the ball into the top left-hand corner of Harrison's goal. Sublime stuff - another great goal. Notts were playing with a spring in their step; Barnet meanwhile looked demoralised. With the game seemingly over Ian McParland felt the time was right to introduce Richard Butcher back into the action after almost three months out with a metatarsal injury. He replaced Ben Fairclough who left the field to a standing ovation. With just over ten minutes to go McParland a comeback to a second player after a long-term layoff; this time it was the turn of Adam Tann to make his return four months after sustaining a knee injury against Macclesfield in place of Michael Johnson. McParland's men were always looking to add to their tally and Butcher could have marked his return with a goal when one-on-one with Harrison, but the goalkeeper stayed tall and won the battle by blocking Butcher's effort with his legs. Sean Canham replaced Facey for the final few minutes with time ebbing away - and with three points in the bag Notts will be desperate to secure back-to-back wins on Tuesday when they visit Macclesfield Town.

Newark Town 4 Kinsley Boys 1Newark reached the top six after a four goal first half blitz saw them overcome Kinsley Boys. Town were boosted by the return of Simon Greenfield, who put in a good performance at centre back. Newark started the match brightly, and took the lead on 5 minutes, when Sam Wilford's cross was flicked towards goal by Matt Roche. Ian Wade stole in, and scored at the second attempt after

an initial reaction save by Walstow in the Kinsley net. Town dominated the opening exchanges, but were constantly reminded of Kinsley's attacking threat with Radford's shot well saved by Chris Riley . The Blues broke downfield after this chance, and a long ball found Matt Roche, who outpaced the full back, and opened his account for Town with a neat flick over the advancing keeper to double the advantage on 18 minutes. Kinsley immediately put the pressure back on Newark, and could have pulled a goal back three minutes later, when Beckley rounded Riley on the edge of the area. His shot however, was intercepted and cleared to safety by Gareth Dobb. Chris Riley was called into action five minutes later, as he pulled out a great reaction save with his legs to deny Beckley. Town weathered this brief storm, and went three up on the half hour, Sam Wilford tapping in from close range as the ball ran loose from the keepers grasp, under pressure from Simon Ellison. Town increased their lead two minutes later, as Matt Roche's shot from 25 yards beat the keeper and was deflected goalwards by Taylor, to effectively end the match as a contest. Ian Wade could have furthered Town's advantage four minutes later, but his shot went inches over the bar after a knock back by Matt Roche. The four goal margin may have been what prompted Kinsley's manager to keep his side on the field at half time, in an incident reminiscent of Phil Brown's decision to keep Hull on the pitch against Manchester City. Kinsley had a golden opportunity to get a goal back early in the second half, as Beckley's shot from 2 yards out was somehow cleared off the line by Dobb. After a period of Kinsley pressure, Town had a further chance to score on 55 minutes, Matt Roche's shot beating the keeper, but not the defender on the line, as Holdsworth got back to clear, and deny him his hat trick. Matt Roche was denied again ten minutes later, when a clever free kick by David Issott put him through on goal, only to see his shot saved by the keeper's legs. Town seemed to switch off for a period after this, allowing Beckley to grab a deserved consolation goal for the visitors on 67 minutes, as he lobbed Riley from close range. In retrospect, Kinsley could have scored more over the course of the match, had it not been for a combination of good defensive play and poor finishing. Chris Self had a corner punched onto the post by Walstow minutes later, but otherwise Newark were content with their four goal lead. The last quarter of an hour was fractious and ill tempered, both sides getting cautions for petty fouls, as the game drew to a close. After the match Town boss Rupert Thomas said, “It was a match of two halves, I still think we're struggling to find a wide player, which they didn't capitalise on. Overall I feel our finishing was better than theirs”. Town will be looking to bring this run of good form into the League Cup tie away at Sutton on Tuesday.

Ollerton 3Pinxton FC 0Pinxton's feet were put firmly back on the ground at the lane, home of Ollerton fc, thanks to Ollerton's Julian

Topliss on 32, Rob Evans on 66 and Kier Wester 90+3. The score line did flatter Ollerton a little but Pinxton just wasn't at the races when the ball got into the last third, Wayne Cook did come on as sub and brighten things up and produced Pinxton's best effort of the game on 80; Josh Parkers cross was met by Cook who climbed the highest to hammer the ball with his head underside of the bar from 12 yards, but the ball bounced on the line and was cleared, but only as far as Ben Bacon who tried to slot the ball just inside the right upright but just went wide. At the back for Pinxton Sean Conner gave all his worth but had his work cut out with Lee Wilson and Julian Topliss making life hard for the Pinxton defence, after a pretty even half hour Ollerton took the lead thanks to Julian Topliss with touch of brilliance, he robbed Joe Riley of the ball 27 yards from the Pinxton goal, Topliss then took on the Pinxton defence rounding Conner then McCormack the Pinxton keeper then slotted the ball into a Pinxton's empty goal. On 66 Robe Evans nicked Ollerton's second when a free kick wasn't dealt by the Pinxton defence with, Evans found himself on his own at the back post with the job of guiding the ball into the net from 4 yards. Kier Webster completed Pinxton's bad day at the office on 90+3 and put Pinxton's and end Pinxton's best winning run of the season.

NOTTS OPEN PREMIER POOL LEAGUE - CHERRY TREE ‘A’ CAUSE MAJOR UPSET!Premier 1Last week we reported this as a potential banana skin and next season's second division Cherry Tree 'A' caused the upset of the 3rd Millennium by beating Premier League title 2nd favourites, Masters Snooker Club 7-5 to commence the long road back to promotion to the big time. Having been already relegated (by everyone) after their loss to Royal Joke two weeks previously, the current League Champions were relishing the unlikely opportunity that was handed to them, of playing such illustrious Premier League opposition so soon after their popular fall from the highest echelons of Notts pool. After a run of 36 consecutive outrageous flukes, the likes of which Matt Coates has never seen, the current League Champions from Calverton sealed each and every member of the teams' greatest ever pool triumph. In a relegation zone battle, some flaky finishing from Ponda-Rileys including a missed 8-baller from Lee Mason saw Royal Oak take an early 2-1 lead. But the away team's strength in depth and Eurovision-class singing eventually proved too much for the Watnall 'wanabees'. Ponda-Rileys' 5-7 victory went some way towards avenging the early season reversal. Matt Tugby took the man of the match award with two fine clearances including the match winning leg, so a pat on the back for Matt and a slap in the testes for Lee! In the Sneinton spot the ball fixture, the predictably clinical league leaders cruised to an 8-4 victory to avenge their only point dropped in the home/away reverse fixture on the adjacent table. Thank you to Gary Sherwood and Trevor Chambers for their input to this report.Premier 2Greyhound opened the league up to turn this one into a proper 3 horse race as they slipped up at home to Park Tav Langham. Only one point separate the top 3 now as the PTL's win makes them genuine title contenders now alonw with Friar Tuck who had a bye week. Elsewhere Sherwood SC took the points at the Gregory while Sherriff SC and Sun Valley shared the spoils in the other matchPremier 3Hubble Bar remain Carlton Catholic Club's closest challengers with a close win at Basford Hall and a similar close defeat by CCC to third placed Beacon. This league is arguably down to a two team slog now and the final fixture on 19th March between the big two looks set to be the match of the season.KO CupThe KO Cup semi finals will be played on Thursday 5th March at the Spot On in Sneinton. We are now down to the last 4: Park Tavern 'A', Masters, Spot On One and prem 2 side The Greyhound. The draw will take place on the night of the Semis.KO PlateThe Plate semi finals will also be played at the Spot on the same night as the main cup. The semi finalists ll from Prem 2 are: Friar Tuck, Sherwood SC, Sherriff SC and Sun Valley.iendly encounter. Report by John Brinkworth

MEN'S: Top of championships remains unchanged with both Queens and Beechdale hammering home brilliant 7-2 victories, these guys are really getting to be inseparable now as each team vie for that extra leg and the Beechdale desperate to close on the Queens four point advantage. But with just six matches left and the Queens having only lost one match they will be even more determined to cling to that lead. Division B has White Lion, Birchover and Madhouse all in the fight for that top slot with the Lion having the advantage of a game in hand but not to be dismissed and waiting to pounce from the wings are the Horse and Jockey who are also a game in hand.

Belfast Giants 5Nottingham Panthers 4 (Pens)GMB Panthers pulled off a dramatic late equaliser to take a point from their trip to Belfast, but went down on penalties by a 5-4 margin in the end. With Jade Galbraith having scored the GMB panthers had a third period mountain to climb trailing 4-1. Still trailing by three with eight minutes to go, goals from Dan Tessier and Johan Molin set up a dramatic finale. With the score at 4-3 and on a five-on-three powerplay, Michel Robinson was called to the bench and the extra skater ploy worked just after Giants got a man back with Bruce Richardson netting to take the game into overtime. A late penalty against the GMB Panthers though meant they started overtime short-handed. That powerplay was killed off but with no further scoring the game went to penalties. Eventually the Giants snagged the extra point in the shoot-out. After six saves in the first round and another by Giants keeper Lyle, Belfast scored their first in round two to sneak the victory, but it was character laden performance from the never-say-die GMB Panthers

who flew home on Saturday and went straight to Sheffield for a match up with the league-leading Steelers.

Sheffield Steelers 4Nottingham Panthers 3 (Pens)The GMB Nottingham Panthers lost out in the second round of sudden death penalties to league leaders Sheffield on Saturday night. Jade Glabraith opened the scoring in the eighth minute which prompted the full-strength home side to adopt a much more physical approach against their short-benched opponents and Matthew Myers was carried off with a leg injury. Steelers equalised soon afterwards. In the second period Basiuk went for two minutes for kneeing Dan Tessier who joined Matthew in the treatment room but Jade Galbraith's second goal put us back in front only for two goals in 36 seconds by the home side to give them the edge going into the third. Brendan Cook broke in short-handed to equalise in the third and the game went to overtime and then penalties. It was a battling performance from the GMB Panthers though, the trip to Belfast meant for tired legs in the third and everyone gave their all for the cause to leave coach Corey Neilson proud in defeat afterwards. The injuries to Matthew and Dan will be assessed over the next couple of days. Danny Meyers and David Clarke are still sidelined by injury.
