St Andrews 2-1 Radford

Radford hung on bravely with ten men but two minutes into time added on a defensive blunder gave St Andrews victory.

Radford started off well and were in command for the first twenty minutes. Kenny Reeves had a deflected shot go wide of the goal before scoring with a tap in  after good work by Joe Heggerty. Radford were winning many aerial challenges but it all turned pear shape when Phil Granville was shown a red card on 40 minutes after he made a challenge leaving a St Andrews player clutching his head. Several free kicks were awarded to the home side and from one of these Dan Henfrey headed in the equaliser for St Andrews just before half time.

At the start of the second half Dunning pulled off a brilliant one handed save to deny Shay Brennan. St Andrews missed a hatful of chances and the Radford defence were performing heroics. Radford created a breakaway chance but the ball fell to Carey Knight who hit the ball wide of the goal with his wrong foot. The game was looking like it would end in a draw but 2 minutes into time added on Dunning was caught in possession and the ball bundled into the net by Shay Brennan.

Gedling MW 1-2 Radford

The Radford keeper made an horrendous mistake on 14 minutes when he misjudged the bounce of the ball allowing Dalton Stephens the opportunity to put the ball into an empty net for the home side. After this calamity Radfords Joe Meakin had a volley that was directed straight at the keeper. Phil Hinton came close with a Radford effort on 28 minutes when Joe Heggerty crossed into the area. Radford found an equaliser when Phil Granville crossed for Hinton to tap in from close range on 37 minutes. Just before half time Phil Granville had a shot that rebounded off the crossbar after good work from Carey Knight.

Straight from the restart Radford went on the attack when Joe Meakin sent in a pinpoint cross for Granville whose flick-on was turned round the post by the keeper. A minute later Meakin saw a shot from outside of the area go a foot over the crossbar, Radford took the lead on 62 minutes through John King. Phil Granville played a delightful ball through the Gedling defence allowing King to run on and round the keeper before slotting the ball into an empty net. King again came close to adding to the score when he twisted and turned in the area before seeing his shot go just wide of the Gedling goal. Radford came close to adding to the score when Meakin had another effort just cleared the bar from a shot from just outside the area and Knight blasted over from close range after Jaylee Hodgson had set him up.

Radford were a poor shadow of the side that took them to the top of the league on Bank Holiday Monday. Anstey were looking the team most likely to open the scoring. In a game of few chances Anstey did infact take the lead after Radford keeper 'El Loco', Stainsby was caught in possession. Simon Hore came close to equalising on 30 minutes when a low drive went wide of the post then on 40 minutes the same player had a goal bound header tipped over the bar to safety. Stainsby Pulled off a superb save to deny Joe Hartopp.

Radford had the better of possession but few efforts on goal in the second half. John King hit a fine shot that hit the stantion of the goal five minutes into the second half before being cleared. It looked like Radford had found an equaliser midway into the half but a good goal was wrongly ruled out for offside after Joe Hegarty had crossed into the box.
