05 May 2013 - Clifton All Whites v AFC Mansfield

Will Heath, Ben Moore, Rob Gill & David Hawkes celebrate the All Whites
1-0 victory

This wasn't a "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" down at The Impact Arena, home of Alfreton Town. Two teams battling for the Baris Central League Cup, in the red corner, AFC Mansfield, who ended the season as runners-up in the Black Dragon (North), missing out on promotion to Dronfield Town. In the white corner, Clifton All Whites, who in the semi-final had beaten the Town from Dronfield 3-1, were hoping to fare better in their 50th year since formation, than last season when losing to, yes you guessed, Dronfield Town! A feisty affair, AFC Mansfield ended the final with nine men, maybe referee Tim Walker had spent a few moments reading the matchday programme's half-time quiz page, "Early Baths" ?!! There was a brilliantly saved penalty and a 92nd minute winner for supporters to remember, which was about all their was as the heat and a long season played a major part in the afternoon's football on show.

New Mills is fifteen miles from Manchester. The added attraction after the afternoon at Church Lane, stay behind and add some extra funds for the club behind the bar. City beat Barnsley 5-0 and went on to the FA Cup Final.
