Over in Derbyshire for a relatives wedding i made an early exit for a 35 minute diversion to take in another ground before heading home. I had two other game options actually closer both in the same league but this seemed to be the best ground and i believe they have plans to move so probably my only chance to see it. The officials seemed young and inexperienced in a feisty game(i actually thought the ref had forgotten his cards as it took so long to brandish one). The visitors were on a good run and an early glancing header from a cross set them on their way to another win and they doubled their lead before the half hour mark as a shot was drilled home from 12 yards. Second half Hucknall pulled one back after a shot hit a post only for journeyman craig Westcarr to fire home the rebound. Hopes of a comeback were quickly extinguished as the home defence tried to sheppard the ball out for a goal kick he was robbed of the ball on the touchline and the quick thinking Dunkirk player cut inside and fired and angled shot into the roof of the net. Spoke to a few good football people over the course of a chilly night before heading home.
