Belper Town v Long Eaton United - 5th December

 Danny Roberts saves his second penalty - to win the game ...

... in the Derbyshire Senior Cup.

The home side - under the watchful eye of the new Management team - struggled a bit against a side a couple of levels below - but made it through in the end.  Pics at

Stamford AFC v Belper Town - 2nd December

Alex Steadman evades ...

My "Birthday weekend" - so a jolly day out was called for - however after 22 minutes with Belper down to 10 men - and 0-3 down, the jolly had all but evaporated.  Credit to the 10 men for a valiant rearguard action for the final 68 minutes however ... some pics at

Stamford AFC 3 Belper Town 0

... and so it's farewell to interim Manager Wynne Garnett who did a good job - the new Belper Town Manager was unveiled on Sunday as former Burton Albion legend Aaron Webster and assistant Lee Williamson) - first game on Tuesday in the Derbyshire Senior Cup on Tuesday night against Long Eaton United (another team with a new Management Team incidentally).

Mossley v Goole - 11th November

 Danny McLaughlin challenges Goole 'keeper Sam Leigh ...

Two down after 20 minutes in front of the season's biggest crowd doesn't sound good - but few were panicking - all level at half-time - and 45 minutes later comfortable winners ...
