Sports recorded back-to-back victories over the Easter weekend meaning a finishing league position of 16th is almost certain.
Saturday saw Sports beat Barwell at the Don Amott Arena, 4-1, with goals from Abalimba (1), Baskerville (2), and Hall (1) before beating Ilkeston FC at the New Manor Ground on Monday following an own goal by Ilkeston’s Max Thornberry.
With the final match of the season at home to Frickley Athletic on Saturday, the 2016/17 season will go down as good progress for the club following the relegation battle of last season. In addition, the team has had a much more settled look about it compared to last season with considerable off-pitch process being made too.
Finally, the annual end of season presentation evening is taking place immediately after Saturday’s match at 6pm. It is free to everybody and absolutely everybody is welcome to join us to celebrate the end of a good season.
See you there and thank you for your support once more.

Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Marine means that Sports are now mathematically safe from relegation in the Northern Premier League Premier Division – with 4 games left to play!
The victory was the second in a week and has cemented Sports position as an established Premier Division team.
This follows on from the recent club news that has confirmed that the structure of the Sports club will change into a Community Interest Company (CIC) which will result in improvements to facilities and ultimately to the playing budget for the senior football team.
Exciting times lie ahead and we would like to once again thank supported, sponsors, volunteers, and everybody else at the Sports club for your help and support.
