Ahead of our return to league action at The Strand this coming Saturday (10.30 am) here is an update on Goal Contributions to date.
03/05/25 – NSL Development Cup Final AFC 3 – 2 AFC Warriors A fantastic morning at Hucknall Town Football Club saw Attenborough top off a promising season in the best way possible, Cup Final success against old rivals AFC Warriors. Having suffered a harsh reality check away to Warriors in the final league game, Attenborough bounced back with a comprehensive victory that showcased all their talent and growing maturity. Some big players were back in the squad, all with plenty to prove, Fin Haywood, Simon Savage, Colm Keegan O’Kane and the suspended Ollie Mee all having been missing from the final league encounter and they all stepped up to the plate and added that extra bit of quality to deservedly secure a notable trophy. Manager Graham Mee was in charge for the fourth final of his long managerial career, all three previously having resulted in defeat at youth level, but he prepared his troops perfectly to peak at the right time following a three-week break since the last game...
05/04/25 – League Cotgrave 0 – 7 AFC Attenborough shrugged off the disappointment of last week’s title decider with a superb performance away at Cotgrave. Despite missing star man Luke Smith and the suspended Ollie Mee, the Blues turned in an attacking display to excite the travelling fans. Having enjoyed little luck of late, two goals having been ruled out in the last couple of weeks, George Pursglove was back on the goal trail with a fantastic opener after ten minutes, volleying across the goalkeeper from just inside the area. And Pursglove soon added another assist for the season when his corner was powered home via Will Humphriss’ head. Attenborough were already three up before the half hour mark, Louis Smith’s shot falling to the feet of Lewis Caine to tap home. Louis produced a thrilling cameo from the left-hand side, ably replacing Luke and he topped of his first-half display with a stunning solo goal to make it four, skipping past several challenges before firing into t...
12/04/25 – League AFC Warriors 4 – 1 AFC In complete contrast to last week, Attenborough capitulated in tame fashion faced with a trip to AFC Warriors and now may ultimately finish third for the second season running, despite looking to be in a two-horse race for the most of this campaign, which has to go down as disappointing given in so many areas the Blues appeared have improved this time around. Both away defeats this season have come on long trips to Newark and there’s no avoiding the fact that availability for these games he been poor compared to other matches, something which certainly doesn’t help, but, while our depleted squad gave their all in a narrow loss on the road to Newark and Sherwood a few weeks ago, this simply wasn’t the case this time around, some well-below par displays matched with half-hearted effort proving a recipe for disaster. A couple of well-worked goals from Warriors saw them two-up within the first quarter of the game and Attenborough did show so...
