The Chairmans Charity Cup.

Premature League End.

Once again the league season has been brought to a premature end, the covid pandemic striking for two years running now. In the grand scheme of it all, it was the right decision to be made with a good number of teams only completing five or six games and also the stop start nature we had seen, this was no good for any of the teams. 

With clubs having to deal with restrictions placed upon them, it has to be said that it was handled extremely well and by abiding these we were able to watch some football, albeit just a handful of games and it was good that supporters still turned out to give their support when it was needed most. 

The Chairmans Charity Cup.

Following on from the ending of the league campaign for the Premier North and South divisions it has been decided that we will get to see some football in the form of a Chairmans Charity Cup, a round robin of games followed by the excitement of knockout football. 

The group games have been arranged locally with the idea of reducing travel for teams and in the hope of decent turnouts for these games. 

Dinnington find themselves in group 2 along with Renishaw, Phoenix and Boynton Sports and get underway on Tuesday 13th April with Renishaw being the visitors. 

Let's hope for a successful tournament and hopefully some much needed relief from the current situation we find ourselves. 

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
