Just confirming the new management team acheived their 1st victory Weds in the 1st round of the Notts Senior cup against NSL outfit Ruddington. In a tie that could have been a potential bananna skin the script was not followed as the visitors held a 1-0 advantage via Craig McMorrans 23rd min close finish after a Curtis MacDonald save.With Basford not really at the races for the 1st 30 minutes, it took a big deflection from a Fabian Smith effort to draw United level which stayed that way at the break. 2nd period after positive words from the management United began to play some really good stuff and Five second half goals saw Basford through.
Goalscorers were Fabian Smith (2), Theo Smith, Tyiesee Nightingale, Courtney Hastings and Joe Brothwell.
With a big injury list 3 under 19s Cameron Campbell,Joe Brothwell and Josh Rae got good minutes.
The goals from Theo Smith and TJ Nightingale were excellent finishes as United moved to a 2nd round tie at the start of Nov.
