Rovers
9 - 1 Ripley Town (HT :4:1) (Derbyshire Cup)
Wed November 1st 2000
Rovers cruised through to the third round of the Derbyshire
cup with a big win over a poor Ripley Town side. Carl
Middleton, Carl Reynolds, Jamie Roberts and Mick Sandar
all played 90 minutes to gain some valuable match
fitness after recent weeks on the first team bench.
Jon Jenkinson making his first start of the season
looked lively from the off and deservedly put Rovers
infront on 14minutes when he drove neatly home from
12 yards out. Town equalised in the 32nd minutes when
Allsop drove from 30 yards out to catch Baldwin off
his liine. Jenjinsom made it 2-1 on 37 finishing from
Nortons knock down and the youngster then went on
to complete his hat-trick on 40 minutes finishing
from 10 yards afte rtTim Pole cross shot had hit the
post. Gary Norton completed the 1st half scoring with
a fierce 30 yard drive that found the top corner.
Norton made it 5-1 after the break finishing from
close range after the Keeper dropped Lewesleys corner
on the line before Pole made it 5-1 a minute later
following up a Mick Sandar effort to sweep home. Sandar
himself made it 7 before Jenkinson added his forth
after Sandar had hit the bar. Jamie Roberts completed
the rout on 87 with a blistering volley at the near
post from a Kev Wagstaff corner.
