>>22/12/08 - Heanor look forward to Ilkeston clash
HTFC tomorrow face local rivals Ilkeston Town in the Derbyshire Senior Cup fixture at the town ground. In the absence of first team manager Jamie Bennett and Jody Caudwell and due to the unavailability of assistant Franks, Matt Timson and Robbie Mawer take the helm over the Christmas period. Bennett who is working away in the USA commented "I'm very disappointed at the backlog of fixtures over the Christmas period having only played one game in the month of December. Players and managers put a lot of hard work in to this and others need to take some responsibility. I know Robbie and Matt will keep to our targets and the fun on Tuesday night needs to be followed by a good league performance in a must win match versus GSP FC. |

>>07/12/08 - Heanor vs Radford Match Report
Missed chances cost Heanor three points today as they went down 4-3 at home to Radford. A poor start to the game cost Heanor dearly as they conceeded 2 early goals before Matt Timson struck back, twisting around two defenders before dispatching home cooly into the bottom left corner making it 2-1. Radford then struck again which looked to seal the outcome but Heanor had other ideas. Goals from Paddy Sneath (Pen) and another from the in-form Matt Timson after good work from Robbie Mawer down the wing. Unfortunately Heanor's delight was short lived after a lapse in concentration caused them to conceed a soft goal which proved to be the only difference between the two sides in a very exciting game. |
