Nottinghamshire Senior League, Senior Division
Keyworth United 3 Cotgrave 5 (att 56)
New grounds for midweek games are few and far between these days, but Keyworth's newly-installed floodlights added an extra one to my list, and their first floodlit fixture proved to be great game.
The home side took the lead inside the first minute, but Cotgrave soon levelled. By half time Keyworth had gone back in front before once again conceding an equaliser.
The pattern followed in the second half, until, after drawing level for the third time, Cotgrave took control, scoring twice more to win against their local rivals. Judging by some of the goal celebrations, particularly by Cotgrave, there's quite a rivalry between the two clubs.
Although the floodlights and clubhouse are new, Keyworth United have been based at Platt Lane for some time. The railed off pitch, roughly parallel to the road, is apparently different to the former main pitch, but as it was my first visit as I didn't have to worry about whether the old and new playing surfaces overlapped at all.
As well as being railed, the pitch has dugouts and advertising boards, but there's no cover or hard standing for spectators.
