KIVETON PARK 0 V 0 HEMSWORTH MWFC SHEFFIELD AND HALLAMSHIRE COUNTY SENIOR LEAGUE PREMIER 25th APRIL 2026
today was a very warm and sunny day, typical spring weather so i chanced it with a t-shirt but the backup of a coat in the car just in case, this was my 2nd visit to hard lane and a game that Kiveton needed to win or at least grab a point, they had struggled all season but towards the end had picked up a few results to haul themselves away from the bottom of the table, cup of tea and a nice bacon sandwich before the game started and a chat with the lad serving in the cafe, oh and a free programme! just love coming here!
the sides are out and kiveton look the better side in the opening few minutes coming close twice from outside the box with a shot tipped over, they keep up the pressure but hemsworth defend well and enjoy a quick break down the middle resulting in a shot tipped over for a corner which is sent straight into the keepers hands who releases the ball quickly for another kiveton attack which comes close to making it 1-0 to the hosts but the ball just goes wide. both teams apply pressure in an ever increasing equal game that goes into halftime at 0-0.
DINNINGTON TOWN V WORKSOP TOWN RESERVES
Its 0-0 at full time as i left at the break to dash over to Phoenix Park for the 3PM KO against Worksop town reserves, Phoenix park has changed quite a lot since my last visit which must have been 15 years ago? maybe more, it was a grass pitch the last time i visited and the pitch was positioned a different way, there was a stand which has now been replaced with a smaller but more modern one and off course the pitch is now 4G i just manage to find a parking spot and find the relocated entrance which is now in a new modern building that houses a bar and function room and various other activities, think entrance was £5 and the kiosk also had Pin Badges at £3 the bar is inside the complex building and i went for the Guinness which was the only one i fancied really from the bar selection.
This game was the Central midlands alliance league premier and with Dinnington pushing for 2nd place in the division they made it quite hard work for themselves on this hot spring day, Worksop looking at a midtable finish were certainly no pushovers having most of the play during the 1st half and they went down to ten men just before the halftime whistle, however Town struggled to break them down in the 2nd half but finally managed a goal with 10 minutes of the game left to make a top two finish a certainty.
