Full Report


Was this going to be the day that Notts County secured league two football for next season?

The sun was out and the kop was almost full so surely Notts could not mess it up this week.

The match started and it was Wycombe that went close when a cross came over and somehow the Wycombe player hit the post as every Notts fan held their breath.

It was a very nervy half for the magpies with Wycombe the better team.

The former Notts player Stefan Oakes tried his luck on a couple of occasions from long range but they never troubled Hoult in the Notts goal.

Notts did go close but when the ball came over into the area no one could put the finishing touches to a fine cross.

The ref blew his whistle for half time to a huge applause from the Notts fans to try and lift the players.

Half time: Notts County 0-0 Wycombe Wanderers

The second half was a different game for the magpies has they got Weston more into the game.

Wycombe did have a chance but the header was straight across goal and no one could get that final touch.

Notts did have a good chance but when a scramble broke out in the area no one could just get that final touch to put the magpies ahead.

On 66 minutes Weston picked up the ball and with a fantastic run beating four or five players the ball fell to Lee who flicked it on for Butcher to get his 12th goal of the season and send the Notts fans into total jubilation behind the goal.

Wycombe did have a good spell late on but just could not crack the solid Notts defence.

The Wycombe player Stockley got a red card in injury time foe a second bookable offense.

This secured league 2 football for next season but please stop putting us through this,  have no finger nails and my hair is going greyer  each season.

 

Full time: Notts County 1-0 Wycombe Wanderers
