A Fantastic 5 For the Bare 11

After losing 4 players to the first team the remaining 11 put 5 past a Nuneaton side who where all but out of the game in the first 20 minuets. Newarks first goal came after just 20 seconds with some great work down the right flank from Steve Littlewood and a simple finish from man of the match Robbin Lowth. (by the way Robbin due to your MOM performance you owe another £2 in fines). Newark scored regularly throughout the first, another from Lowth and one a piece for Sam Smith, Steve Littlewood and 3rd XI Captain Danny Hendrie. With 5 goals in the first the second half was always going to be a bit of an anti climax. The second half was all about keeping it tight and stout defending by John Clarkson, Adrian Smith, Matt Wilson and Captain Craig Joynes saw that the Newark goal was untroubled throughout. More goals looked likely but the forward pare of Lowth and Super Striker Martin 'Cripple' Knox could not find the finishing touches that had been abundant in the first half. This result could potentially put Newark up to 3rd in the table.



The weekend of the 21st and 22nd will see the 2's have 2 games against Leicester and Northampton. So can all players let captains know there availabilities ASAP.
