Dinno win it at the death.

In football it's all about results, it's all about winning games and digging deep and grinding out results. That is exactly what Dinno had to especially coming off the back of two away defeats. 


 

The game wasn't pretty, quite scrappy at times in the opening half with Clay Cross probably edging the first half with the better chances. Jay Atkin saving the hosts going behind after a mistake gifted the Clay Cross forward an opportunity, Branch beaten but Atkin was on hand to clear away the danger and earlier a ball over top was lifted over the Dinno goal. 

All in all the first half wasn't a great half of football. 

The second half the game came to life with all three goals coming after Clay Cross took the lead minutes after the restart, it looked like the ball was there to be won but the Clay Cross forward beat Branch to the ball and slid it home for the lead. Soon after Dinno were lucky not to be two down after being caught on the break only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. 

Three changes were made by the home side and the urgency increased as Dinno went on the hunt for an equaliser. It almost came after the ball was bouncing around the Clay Cross area and an effort struck the post but minutes later the goal did come, it was partially cleared and Andrej Gordon-Hides was on hand with a good finish from outside the area and in the last few minutes Brandon Ashmore picked the ball up on the Dinno left and run at the Clay Cross defence beating 4 or 5 defenders before unleashing a quality finish in to the top left corner of the goal from six yards out. A moment of brilliance from the Dinno forward to secure the points for the home side.

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

AFC Bentley 2 - 6 Dinnington Town

A miserable afternoon for football with a good few games succumbing to the elements however it was game on at The Avenue, Bentley. Dinno came here on the back of a good win last time out at home to Thorne Colliery and were looking to gain back to back wins and it seemed today was going to be one of those days but it was Dinno who would run out eventual comfortable winners, a game of a red card that looked to be harsh on the lad, a wonder goal from Brad Sedgwick and some strange decisions left the few in attendance scratching their heads.  A slow start from the away side who were really struggling to get going and despite this were playing some good football, linking the play up well but just lacking that killer instinct when it really mattered. Time and again the ball was finding its way to the feet of the attackers but they just couldn't make it count. There were times when a shot would be the better option instead of trying to go through. Chances came and went for
