Tier 11 South Normanton FC have some sort of association with Tier 10 South Normanton Athletic, the exact relationship I am yet to fathom, but the relationship is close enough for today's visitors to Derby to wear the same colours as their ground-sharing north Derbyshire namesakes.
RBL had the better of the first half and deserved their 15 minute lead. The nippy number 6 was set free down the right hand side and a good cross to the far post was met by his only RBL colleague in the box. The striker slotted the ball passed the onrushing keepers left hand.
South Normanton struck back shortly before half time, following the winning of a free kick on the right hand side mid-way in RBL's half. The free-kick taker whipped a quality ball into the box and it was met by the head of an attacker.
At half time I had a cup of tea (made by myself, with an honesty box contribution to the club of 50p) and got back out to watch the second half.
South Normanton looked better in the second-half as the home team tired but RBL still managed to create the better chances. South Normanton stole the game with a ball through the middle with the diminutive number 11 breaking clear of the defence. The attacker nicely placed his left foot shot to the keeper's left.
An entertaining afternoon was had at a club with lovely facilities. I thought it would be nice to return here and watch a game from the bar's balcony.
