Article from this Weeks Mamsfield Chad. Central Midlands Football League sides set for Norway Tv slot


LOCAL clubs could find themselves TV stars in Norway after Norwegian channel TV2 announced it will be sending a crew over for the ninth annual Windsor Foodservices Central Midlands League Bonanza weekend.

This eagerly-awaited groundhoppers’ glut of games takes place on Friday, 16th and Saturday, 17th March with the usual one match on the Friday evening and four on the Saturday.

The weekend kicks-off on Friday, 16th at Bilborough Pelican, who have re-entered the Central Midlands Football League, who host newcomers Belper United with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Though the Bonanza has visited this ground before, Pelican have altered their name to Bilborough Pelican and this match will be played under floodlights.

On Saturday, 17th there is a coach available on first booking service through Bonanza organiser Rob Hornby, departing and returning to Nottingham Railway Station.

The first match sees two new sides play each other when Clifton FC host Real United in a local Derby with a 10.10am kick-off.

Another two new clubs to the CMFL face each other with Basford United hosting Nottinghamshire Police at 1pm.

The Bonanza then heads over the border to Derbyshire to take in Dronfield Town v Thoresby CW for a 4.30pm kick-off, before heading for a local derby in the final match where Glapwell FC play host to Parkhouse FC with a 7.30pm kick-off.

Advanced tickets are just £15, which gains you entry to all five matches and a pack of five match programmes.

Coach travel for Saturday is just £15, but supporters should book early for the coach.

Some clubs will be charging £1 for car parking on the day of the match.

For more information on the Bonanza you can e-mail hornby60uk@yahoo.co.uk or phone Rob Hornby on 01623 486678 or 07973 517603.
