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.

During the second half, we positioned ourselves in front of the Ilkeston FC supporters. From our vantage points in the first half, we noticed that they were a little more voiciferous and colourful in their support. These photographs were captured in a split second, we hope they show the hopes, fears, passion that they endured during the final forty-five minutes plus added on time as they saw their team come back from being a goal down to winning the Cup 2-1.
