Match Reports
Over 50's vs Mansfield- 5th June
The Over-50s took on Mansfield Community Trust in a friendly match. The match was played in a great spirit and both teams enjoyed the experience of playing in the shadows of Mansfield Town's ground. The Spireites started strongly but were caught on the break as Mansfield went ahead. However, the Spireites continued to play good football and equalised through Nigel Strong before Dave Simpson gave the Chesterfield the lead before half time.
After the break, Mansfield piled on the pressure but the Spireites remained solid defensively, with goalkeeper Darren Townsend in excellent form, before scoring further goals through Darryl Davies and a second for Dave Simpson. A consolation for Mansfield a few minutes from the end meant a final result of 4-2 to the Spireites.
Over 50's vs Bakewell - 21st May
The Over-50s took two teams to Bakewell to play in a round-robin with Bakewell and Matlock. The two teams were relatively even and they were selected them to try and get people playing together who had not played in a team together before.
The pitches at Bakewell have large areas and small goals and therefore goals were at a premium as every shot is basically a long shot!
Team 1 drew both games 0-0, against Bakewell first and then Matlock. The Senior Spireites played well defensively but couldn't get the breakthrough that their play probably deserved.
Team 2 drew the first game against Matlock 0-0 but won the second game 1-0 against Bakewell, with a goal from Simeon Turner. It was a similar story here - the team played well defensively but this time they were able to get a decent shot into the corner of the goal.
An encouraging start for both teams. Well done guys!
