Radcliffe suffer a blip and lose to Clipstone
With just weeks remaining till the end of the season, the top of the Central Midlands League is really taking shape. Leaders Calverton and Harworth have been nested at the top for a while now, but Newark, Forest Town and Ollerton are showing some great form.

Posted in: Aspley Red, Two Footed Tackle
In this glorious game of ours, one of the most popular – nay, unanswerable – pieces of brinksmanship is that ‘x’ is, truly, ‘a football town’. More often than not, that’s shorthand for “because it’s miles from anywhere and there’s nothing else to do”, but still it sustains itself as the consoling, bullet-proof myth [...]

Nottingham Rugby lose at the death
The Green & Whites were sickened by Leeds Carnegie in the dying minutes of their National Trophy Semi Final at Meadow Lane. Nottingham were the better side and lead through Tim Taylors opener, but their worlds came crashing down in the 8th minute of injury time.
Scots Grey go through [...]
…And Justice for ALL?
Posted in: Aspley Red, Two Footed Tackle
They may have lost some battles along the way, but by God, haven’t they just won the war? The East End has a storied history of villainy and turpitude, and as the dust settles on the Carlos Tevez fiasco, Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson must be writing hush cheques with the zeal of a young Ronnie Kray. [...]

Groundhoppers descend as Pinxton pip Southwell to the post
In true Nottinghamshire fashion the sky was bright blue at the weekend and the fields packed full with sporting activity. Wollaton overcame their arch enemy Pelican in the NSL Cup by the odd goal in three, whereas the CML enjoyed bumper crowds thanks to the drive of [...]

Apologies ladies and gentlemen, we weren’t able to fit the VETs tables this week in the magazine. Please don’t blame, us blame the advertisers that are causing our magazine to combust!
Be Good, Colin Yates!
Posted in: Aspley Red, Magazines, Two Footed Tackle
So where is he? That’s what everyone’s been asking this week.

MANCHESTER UNITED v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v EASTENDERS v A LIFE IN THE COUNTRY
Click to see our latest two footed tackle… ouch!
The League Cup is inglorious business these days, eking out a grubby existence in the shallows of satellite TV, dallying about on the same rung as Formula 3 pay-per-views and hotel porn. Still, a [...]
