Belper 4ths 3 – 1 Staveley 2s

After a long Christmas break, it took a little time to settle in and get used to a very different pitch, although it’s good for it not to be frozen! Good defending throughout and a quick break caught staveley off guard and Belper went 1-0 up. A sneaky substitution unfortunately led to a second just before the break.

After a stern talk at half time Staveley came out fighting and ready to attack. A fantastic strike from Sam from the second consecutive short corner made it 2-1. Staveley continue to attack and we’re close to an equaliser, when again unfortunately we were caught on the break.

Fantastic performance all round, but the man of the match deservingly went to Sam.
