Match Report by Alan Whitworth.
Blidworth Welfare returned to winning ways after two consecutive defeats in the space of a week with a ten one thumping of Church Warsop. Prolific goal scorer striker Dean Rick scored five of the goals. Carl Haslam, Tom Mallinson and David Bramwell were brought into the side after the midweek defeat at Southwell with Mark and Simon Ellison dropping to the substitute’s bench where they were joined by Max Pembleton. Ricky Chambers was not available.
Jason Edwards opened the scoring on twenty minutes when Carl Haslam’s cross found him unmarked at the back post and he headed home. It was two nil a minute later as the ball found its way to Steve Carty who was unmarked inside the area and he shot past Jamie Davies in the Church Warsop goal. Dean Rick got his first, shooting home after receiving the ball from Haslam who had raced towards goal before passing to his fellow striker. Rick got his second and Blidworth’s fourth on thirty minutes from the penalty spot after he had been brought down inside the area. Defender Lee Dawson got his first goal for the club volleying home a cross from Rick five minutes later. It was six nil on the stroke of half time as Rick got his hat trick firing home after receiving a pass from Edwards.
Adam Fletcher scored for Church Warsop on fifty eight minutes as he slid in at the back post to guide the ball into the net after a cross across the face of goal had beaten everyone. Edwards restored Blidworth’s six goal advantage receiving a pass from Rick inside the area, taking the ball round Davies and scoring. Haslam got his name on the score sheet to make it eight one running at the Church Warsop defence and beating a number of players before shooting past Davies. Rick scored his fourth with his second penalty after being brought down by Jordan Johnson as he received the ball. Johnson was sent off for his second bookable offence. Rick rounded off a good team performance to make it ten one on ninety minutes controlling Mark Ellison’s cross at the back post and shooting past Davies.

Blidworth Welfare Juniors completed a great weekend for the club as two of their teams reached the finals of the Notts Junior Cup. The under 12’s managed by Roger Parkes and under 11’s run by Simon Ward were the successful sides. This is a great achievement and reflects the current status of junior football at Blidworth Welfare.
