AFC Bentley 6 - 1 Dinnington Town


What to say? 

Well...........the previous write up said it wouldn't be another 9 - 0 but by christ did Bentley have a good go at it. I, along with others expected a tighter affair. All credit to Bentley, a team in transition and a team rebuilding and looking to become a force to be reckoned with with some good acquisitions over the last few weeks. 
As the previous away game at Thorne, Dinno found themselves 2 down at the break and left with a mountain to climb. It doesn't matter who you are, giving teams 2 goal starts isn't good enough, today they found themselves 2 down after 15 minutes. Trailing by 2, Dinno had the ball in the back of the net after a peach of a ball from the right from Cameron Evans and Jordan Turner met the ball with his head only to be flagged offside, in the opinion of many, he can count himself extremely unlucky. A penalty could've been awarded to Dinnington after a suspect push on the Dinno man, the referee remained unmoved. 
The second half started with Brad Sedgwick introduced out on the left and it started brightly for the yellow and blacks but some sloppy defending resulting in a free kick just outside the area was put away to make it 3 to the home side and almost instantly it was 4. It was quickly becoming an afternoon to forget. 
A Dinno consolation followed and another 2 for Bentley completed an emphatic victory for the hosts, crushing even. With the score at 6 - 1 Bentley carved open the back line but the finish wasn't worthy of the build up and also an effort was hit high over the bar from 3 yards out. 

All in all a hugely disappointing afternoon on the travels and one the boys need to pick themselves up from. 

Thank you to the ones who made the trip over. 

Up the Dinno.

Dinnington Town v Sutton Rovers

Tuesday 16th  November sees the visit of Sutton Rovers to the iCompare Phoenix Park for a fixture that was originally planned as an away game for the weekend just gone.  Dinno come in to this game on the back of a mixed bag of results, a couple of defeats in the last few weeks and the all important wins along the way, this is a league where anybody can beat anybody on the day. Along the way the 100% record was ended by Kiveton with a 1- 2 reversal, a game where many a missed opportunity ultimately cost Dinno the game, however a spirited performance prior to the Kiveton game saw the boys battle for a 2-1 victory against Clay Cross after going goal behind shortly after half time but a moment of brilliance from Brandon Ashmore in the dying minutes got Dinno over the line.  Good results have come also with convincing wins over Askern Miners and Staveley Reserves and a good old 1 - 0 over a dogged, young Sheffield FC Reserve sides. A week ago at Thorne the boys were well worth a point again

Despair at the death for Dinno.

A Point on the Road An afternoon where Dinno came in to the game on the back of six straight wins and one where the run came to an end, still a point earned but on the whole a difficult afternoon, one that could've been much worse but for some poor finishing and a couple of top drawer saves from Branchy.  The first half was a laboured affair, a slow start yet again and far too many loose balls were the order of  the day and it was a fairly frustrating affair with the yellows struggling to anything together. The opening quarter of an hour was very sloppy but take nothing away from the hosts, they were making it difficult for Dinno.  The first real chance of the game fell to Jordan Turner but he saw his effort saved and a follow up blocked before a weak header was gathered by the Kiveton keeper. Kiveton were stopping Dinnington playing with the yellows struggling to get down the sides and in behind and the frustration was clearly showing despite the best efforts of skipper Brad Hanso
