MILLERS INTO THE SEMI FINAL OF THE NOTTS SENIOR CUP !

An excellent second half display from Carlton Town not only gave them a rare home win, but also took them into the semi final of the Notts Senior Cup once again.

Carlton overcame AFC Mansfield 2-0 with goals from Kieren Walker (pictured) and Oliver Clark in front of 75 at Stoke Lane this evening.

AFC Mansfield were undoubtedly the better team in the first half, but missed guilt edged chances and in the second half, Carlton who started nervy grew in confidence and on the back of impressive performances from Eddie Clarke, Oliver Clark, Reece Bertram and Kylie Stovell to name but four, Carlton were well worth their win in the end.

To compound maters for the visitors, they had a man sent off late on after a late challenge on Millers keeper Jack Steggles.

The win brought a smile to the Carlton faithful, something that has been in short supply, particularly at home this season, but the Millers have seen off two really tricky opponents in this years competition, so despite their woes in the league, credit should be given when it is due and tonight’s win gave a much needed boost to everyone involved with the football club.

Attention now moves onto the Dragon pub this coming Sunday when Mick Garton, Josh Hodgson and Alan Murphy head up a Carlton Town fundraiser from 2pm with their own exclusive Dj sets.
