Ashland Rovers 3 - 3 Teversal FC Reserves

At least it's not a massive trek like last week's journey to Mickleover, it's just a short trip this time around - all the way over in deepest, darkest Kirkby in Ashfield on Kingsway Park.
A 7.45pm kick off on a mild night, but there is a fair old breeze blowing across the pitch, it may turn a lot colder as the evening wears on.

Teversal are in their dark-blue away kit again with the keeper in bright orange, and the Tevie Boys line up as follows...

1. Leon Turton
2. Ryan Hancock
3. Jack McWilliams
4. Craig Newton
5. Jake Allen
6. Harrison Mills
7. Connor Cane
8. Gareth Mason (Capt)
9. Brandon Hunt
10. Luke Beastall
11. Ben Agbakosi

12. Kyle Coleman
13. Alex Buttery (GK)
14. Blake Clay
15. Jack Kirk
16. Jack Bradley

The teams are out and in position. Ashland in their main kit of red and black striped shirts, black shorts and red socks.
7.47 : The referee blows his whistle and the Rovers get the game underway.
7.56 : A corner is cleared and Luke Beastall strikes the loose ball from around twenty yards out and the ball drop just under the crossbar. 1-0 Tevie.
7.58 : A shot from a similar distance beats the keeper just inside the post to level it up. 1-1.

Both sides are having chances, the best for Teversal coming from Ryan Hancock whose shot flew just over the crossbar.
8.26 : Ben Agbakosi sticks the ball past the Ashland keeper to give the Tevie Boys the lead. He's been threatening it all night and it finally pays off. Let's hope we can hang onto this lead until half time (and beyond). 2-1 Tevie.

Full time at Kingsway Park - Ashland Rovers 3-3 Teversal FC Res.
A draw was a fair result at the end of the day, The Tevie Boys have got to concentrate after they've scored - twice within five minutes of scoring tonight, Ashland had drawn level undoing the good work that they had done.
On Saturday, the Reserves are on the road again when they travel over to Blidworth Welfare for another league fixture.
