 After just
missing out on the double double last season Netherfield were
one of the favourites to take the title this time around, but
losing star player Gary Williamson (pictured left) to Hucknall Town on the eve
of the season wasn’t in the
script and Netherfield got off to
a losing start. Evident signs that Netherfield needed a striker
were significant and although Albion rushed into signing three
more players they didn’t seem to be the answer in an up and
down first few months which saw Albion win four and lose six of there
opening ten matches. That included a County Cup first round exit
to Bawtry Town.
Unfortunate
happenings at Hucknall Town though saw the return of Williamson
to the fray and the left sided playmaker helped Albion to eight
games unbeaten in the league. A shock slip up against Bunny
United was followed by a point against Beeston, which took
Albion to the top of the Division by the middle of March. It was
a false position though as Albion’s earlier games were to cost
them and with teams around us having games in hand even a win
against Pheasant was not enough and after three weeks off
Netherfield slipped down the table but if they were to win there
last four games rather than only take one point out of a
possible twelve, Albion might have finished second rather then
seventh.
