TEMPERS flared when Worksop's second string hosted Corby on Saturday.
EAST MIDLANDS TWO
Worksop II 2
Corby II XI 0
WORKSOP started with greater possession but Corby had more clear-cut chances.
The hosts scored after 15 minutes through James Walker, and 10 minutes later Sam Walter netted from a close-range scramble.
The game became an ill-disciplined affair as players from both sides wound each other up.
Worksop could have gone three up, but did not pay attention to where a free-hit was to be taken from.
After the break, Corby should have scored twice with numerous free-hits.
Tempers flared late on, James Walker being sent off for violent behaviour and James Keeling disrespect to the umpires.
Another three points for Worksop, but a poor advert for this level of play with discipline and leadership key.

Rolls Royce Derby 10

Berkswell & Balsall Common 7
Worksop 0
A GOOD account was given by a team, made up of mainly juniors, against a men's side.
New player James Matheson stood out, and the usual youngsters and vets kept the score within the realms of respectability, just 3-0 down at half-time.
Much will be built upon this loss, as the youngsters start to work together.
