What an all round team performance yesterday!! The unselfishness of players to pass the ball around rather than going for the glory was a pleasing sight.
Depending on what side of the fence you sit on, Jason "Come on NEWARK!" Feehily should be fined or rewarded for nearly taking Shrek's head off whilst allegedly shooting at goal!!
Martyn "I think I'm still Captain" Knox didn't know where he was playing for the first 10 minutes and obviously thought centre-back was new position between the midfielders and the strikers! THEN tried to start a drum roll for the man of the match votes...someone still thinks he's in charge!
The other positive notes are Jazz Hands turning into Sloan Machine No.2 and Sicknote....actually lasting the full game and then making up the numbers for the 3rd team and playing another FULL GAME!! Pass me the oxygen, I can't breathe!
And finally it would be wrong of me not to mention the gentle green giant Shrek running around and SCORING A HAT TRICK!! 3 goals, count them...one...two...three!! But the second one was out of this world, luckily there weren't any dodgy Russian linemen around!

Jazz Hands the only bright spot!
Beeston youngsters ran up a 2-nil win over Newark 2s as Shrek aka The Hulk turned green with anger after some dodgy umpiring from the Treasurer! This strange call for a 5 minute break for our illustrious leader came even though his subs are all paid up!!
It was a secret ploy to make the team work harder with only 10 men and get used to the fact that it will happen every other week!!
The only bright spot, despite being late, was John "Jazz Hands" Yearsley who bightened up the day with...wait for it....his jazz hands. Which earnt him several fines!
League matches start next weekend!!

Everyone welcome whether famous or not!
As we build for the future by organising 3rd team fixtures, Newark 2nd's captain Shrek, yes that green ugly looking cartoon character, would like to make the point that everyone is welcome to training and don't let the fact that we have several famous players put you off!!
I'm sure Ivan Campo was at training Wednesday night, showing off his skills. Except we couldn't tell for definite as his hair is like a bird's nest on top of his head!
"Robbie" Burns was there, spouting poetry and running around like a headless haggis!
Darren "Sicknote" Anderton was there was too! But it didn't take long for him to pull up with a broken nail or some other insignificant injury!
And lastly David "Beardman" Bellamy, looking out for a rare species not often seen at training called simonous sloanous.
Make sure you come to training to see who else might be there!! Who knows it might be someone famous!!

3rd's push 2nd's all the way!
After opponents Horncastle pulled out at the last minute, perhaps knowing that they would have to deal with the threat of Shrek on a goal hunt, the 2nds played against an emerging 3rd team.
The 3rds went 1-nil up before Shrek shot past the helpless Willis to bring Newark 2s back into the match.
Matt “Sicknote” Reynolds broke a nail and had to leave the real hockey playing to brother Adam who shot past Willis, powerless to the stop the goal which was that good it actually gained a Man of the Match vote!!
The second half was pretty much even with umpire Paul Halfpenny getting so bored he even started to let Newark 2s players have a rest on the side of the pitch for the rest of the match! The match ended 3-2 to the 2nds with Peter Pan aka Adrian “Ace” Smith scoring the third goal.
A combined Man of the Match vote was awarded, fittingly, to one player from each side with Alex "Where's my map?" Davies and Ace gaining the awarded.

Newark benefit from Mountain Rescue
On a Duke of Edinburgh expedition, Alex "Where's the map" Davies and Nathan "I thought you had it" Wakelin got back to base 6 hours LATE after getting lost on some mountain somewhere over that way!
The wonderful volunteers of Mountain Rescue were called out to "rescue" them and finally got them home safe. Let's hope that they manage to find the training rooms this weekend!

Hat Trick Hammond hits Belper
It was all change for team as we started our second friendly without the coach and 5 players from last weeks empathic win.
Luckily we had had Matt Hammond running rings around the Belper defence to score a hat trick. Skipper Shrek scored a PF and open goal.
Simon "David Bellamy" Sloane started his first game of the new season to settle back into his sweeper role and after practicing aerials at training everyone was at it throwing balls all over the pitch!!
Goalie Tim McManus made only three saves all match so we might not need him anymore!

Pre-season off with a bang
A new coach, new captain and new formation didn’t hinder Newark Men’s 2nd XI as they got off to a flying start against Lincoln winning 8-1.
Man of the match was awarded to John Yearsley who performed wonders up and down the wing. And the move of the match was left to our "energetic" skipper Arran "Shrek" Coggan, who received the ball in his own half and ran half the length of the pitch to shoot under the diving keeper whilst the rest of team stood in amazement that "Shrek" could actually run that far!!
