AFC Bentley v Dinnington Town.

This weekend the trip is made to Bentley where the hosts have returned after a year playing their home games away from The Avenue having played the last season over at The Keepmoat Stadium on the 3g pitches. 

Dinnington come in to this one on the back of a 4 - 1 victory over Phoenix on Tuesday night following the postponement of last weekends fixture. 

Bentley are a solid team, difficult to break down at times as thr home game last season proved, a late, late goal was the difference in a tight affair with Dinno coming out 2 - 1 winners, a game which saw Bentley down to 9. In all fairness the replacement keeper had a blinder keeping Dinnington at bay. The reverse fixture saw a comfortable 4 - 0 win for the black and yellows on a blustery Saturday afternoon at The Keepmoat.  

A 9 - 0 defeat at Bentley a few years ago was definitely one to forget but this team has come a very long way in the last season and one I can't see being repeated. 

Let us look forward to another good afternoon of good, honest football and hopefully come away with a positive result.

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
