Pictures from Wollaton being presented the Senior Division trophy following their victory over PMG Cavaliers on Saturday 25 April 2015: It was the weekend of the third annual Nottinghamshire Senior League football bonanza but the most significant result unfortunately wasn’t played out in front of the mass of groundhoppers. Wollaton’s 3-1 victory away at PMG Cavaliers secured them the Senior Division title with a game to spare. Wollaton are the only team to have won the NSL championship on three occasions, the other two times being the first two seasons of the league: 2004/05 and 05/06. A brace from Ryan Bowen and one from Marcus Johnson sealed the win; Imaan Samuels replied for Cavs. The groundhop got underway on Friday night when 297 people saw Ashland Rovers and Newark Flowserve draw 3-3 in Division One. Flowserve were 3-1 ahead with 10 minutes remaining following goals from Luke Boddy (2) and Jamie Charlton. But Jon Rowbottom doubled his tally for Ashland, having scored the games opener, and Stuart Grozier netted to ensure a share of the spoils. Saturday morning’s game had the highest attendance but the fewest goals as 387 people witnessed Bingham Town’s 0-0 draw with Ruddington Village in the Senior Division. Goals looked hard to come by in the next game too, between Netherfield Albion and Nottinghamshire in Division One, until Chris Riley scored a late winner for Albion to send the 292-strong crowd away happy. Burton Joyce and Attenborough then served up the second 3-3 draw of the groundhop, in front of a crowd of 279 in the Senior Division. Sam Buckle put BJ ahead after his side had missed an early penalty. A Joe Nice free-kick and a brace from Alex Elliker put Boro in the ascendancy but Ryan Easom and Troy Smith levelled matters. Burton Joyce goalkeeper Roscoe Easom was sent off late on but Attenborough were unable to make the extra man count. The final game of the day was the local derby between the Senior Division’s bottom two sides, Sandhurst and Kirton Brickworks. Scott Ricketts gave The Brickies an early lead but Sandhurst hit back through Eric Pearson, Lee Shaw, Ryan Chapman and Kyle Clarkson. David Cooper gave Kirton renewed hope but it was too little too late. Sandhurst ran out 4-2 winners in front of 346 fans. Elsewhere in the Senior Division, West Bridgford are back up to second, having leapfrogged their opponents, Selston, with a 2-0 win. Mitchell Slawson and Tim Hopkinson were on target for Bridgford. Awsworth Villa are now safe from relegation following a 3-0 win over Keyworth United, with goals from Jez Bradley (2) and Matthew Walker. Beeston nearly let a four goal lead slip at home to Bilborough Town but they hung on for a 4-3 victory. Underwood Villa moved back to the top of Division One with a 4-0 home win over Radcliffe Olympic Reserves. Josh Hunt (2), Mack Smith and Sam Tring got the goals.

Photos from Wollaton's 1-0 win over Selston in the second NSL Senior Cup semi-final: Wollaton have another chance to wrap up the Precision NSL Senior Division title as they travel to the Charnwood Sports Centre to face PMG Cavaliers. Wollaton need to either gain at least a point, or West Bridgford have to drop points in their encounter with Selston, for Wollo to be crowned champions for the first time since 2006.

Photos, taken by League Chairman Ian Kirk, from Wollaton's 1-1 draw with West Bridgford in the Senior Division on 18 April 2015: Wollaton could have sealed the Precision NSL Senior Division title with a win over third placed West Bridgford but the champagne will have to stay on ice for another week as they could only manage a draw.
West Bridgford had the better first half and went in at the break a goal to the good thanks to Aaron Large. But in a proverbial game of two halves Wollaton equalised in the second period through Ant Atkins. The result leaves West Bridgford as the only team who can catch Wollaton, as they are 12 points behind with four games remaining. Wollaton therefore need to pick up only one more point from their remaining two fixtures to take the championship that they last won in 2006. A crowd of nearly 250 saw second placed Selston defeat Sandhurst during their annual Chairman’s Day celebration. Perry Marriott’s goal separated the sides. Attenborough made it 11 league wins out of 13 matches in 2015 with a 4-1 away win over local rivals Beeston. Joe Nice and Jordan Smith added to a brace from Mitchell Robinson for Boro; Ashley Snape got Beeston’s consolation. There were two goals each for Liam Beattie and Sam Buckle in Burton Joyce’s 5-2 win at Awsworth Villa. Ashley Moorcroft got the fifth; Danny Towle bagged both for Villa.

Jurgen Charlesworth and Scott Litchfield replied for Keyworth. Boots Athletic scraped past Kirton Brickworks 1-0 thanks to an Ollie Ridgway strike. Newark Flowserve continue to set the pace in Division One following their 5-2 away win over South Normanton Athletic Reserves. Liam Moran claimed a hat-trick for Flowserve in addition to goals from Jamie Charlton and Billy Warner. Tom Leighton and Adam Burton replied for The Shiners. Underwood Villa will still fancy their chances of taking top spot as they have three games in hand on Newark and remain four points behind after their 8-0 victory over Magdala Amateurs. Callum Thompson (4), Ash Foster (2), Richard Hodgeman and Josh Hunt were all on target. Ruddington Village Reserves consolidated third place with a 5-2 win at Radcliffe Olympic Reserves, after Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves had lost 2-1 at home to Ashland Rovers on Friday night. Samuel Dunstan (2), Tom Stanley, Craig Chambers and Scott Bolstridge were the Village scorers; Christian Mantezolo and Lamah Griggs for Olympic.
