CMFL NORTH DIVISION
DRONFIELD TOWN FC 6 EASINGTON UNITED AFC 0
Last season Dronfield Town needed to beat Westella in the final game of the season in a winner takes all Championship match to which the visitors won, so Dronfield found themselves in a similar positon going in to todays match, wheere they needed a point to win the Championship and possible promotion to the North Counties East League in their match versus Easington United AFC.
The Derbyshire club has always welcomed me with open arms and are a very friendly club and I have fond memories of visiting them whilst in the CMFL.. I attended their first ever CMFL home match when they played Phoenix FC on a Bank Holiday Monday in front of a crowd of 111 and they learnt quick they had to produce a few more than 8 programmes. I was there to present them with the medals for finishing Runners Up in the CMFL Premier Division to gain promotion. I then took 279 groundhoppers there for the groundhop match when they beat a stubborn Thoresby CW on a day that saw the biggest rainbow I've ever seen.
Today, the rainbow and pot of gold was to be seen at Stonelow Road, when I saw them deserve to win the Championship when beating Easington United AFC 6-0.
Nerves were settled very early after only 4 minutes when the home side took a early lead through a direct free kick. On 25 minutes, they increased their lead and looked comfortable.
Half time was taken and there was a air of expectation around the ground that there was to be more goals to be added, but the visitors began brighly and could well have pulled a goal back but the home keeper was on his toes to snuff out any effort.
On 55 minutes, Dronfield extended their lead much to the delight of the three young fans behind the goal who sang all the way through the game..all credit to them. Even the away keeper joined in the fun with them by now. By 70 minutes, Dronfield turned the screw and made it 4-0 and a few of the Easington legs looked a big weary, so it was no surprise for them to conceed goals 5 and 6 after 73 and 75 minutes.
The final whistle went and Dronfield a small village had done what was only a dream some three years ago, but deservedly so.
