Notts County delivered a thrilling and nervy afternoon for the Black & White Army on Saturday as they twice came from behind to beat FC Halifax Town 4-2. Kyle Wootton struck either side of Mitch Rose's fine 60th-minute equaliser and 81st-minute penalty as County earned only their second National League win in eight matches. Halifax, who scored through Shawn McCoulsky and Jamie Allen, have now won just once in 10 league games as they slip out of the top seven, while Neal Ardley's ch

It was a day to forget on Saturday as Notts County were thrashed 3-0 at Meadow Lane by Barrow, who in turn moved top of the National League table. The Magpies fell behind in the 10th minute when Dior Angus converted Josh Kay's cross for his fifth goal in his past six matches. The forward then helped double Barrow's lead three minutes later when he rounded keeper Sam Slocombe and crossed for John Rooney to score. Jack Hindle piled further misery on Neal Ardley's side with three min

Notts County's FA Cup journey is over at the second round stage after Northampton Town claimed a 3-1 victory over Neal Ardley on Sunday. The Cobblers where ahead after just three minutes when Scott Wharton ghosted in at the back post and headed home Nicky Adams' corner. Regan Booty scuffed his shot wide from 12 yards for the Magpies, while Sam Slocombe denied Sam Hoskins at the other end, with the rebound hitting Ben Turner and coming back off a post. The home side's second goal a

Notts County suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season as they were beaten 2-1 at Aldershot Town in the National League on Saturday. The Magpies came close to opening the scoring on 17 minutes when good work from Ben Turner and Damien McCrory set up Wes Thomas, whose low effort was saved by keeper Mitch Walker. Shots forward Mo Bettamer then broke the deadlock in the 27th minute when he headed home from Jack Powell's cross. Notts drew level briefly before the br

A short while ago I wrote an article about Notts County's 150 year existance, which I will link to at the bottom of this article for any readers to catch up on (if you choose to do so). Here is the second in the series of posts, where I've tried to describe the development of 'football'. Of course there are other codes of 'football' that grew out of 'mob football' in the mid/late 19th century. I've concentrated on the growth of football as we now know it in England, I hope you all find it

Since Alan Hardy took over as Notts County owner and chairman in January, the club's fortunes turned for the best. The Magpies were 21st in League Two, one point clear of the bottom two having played one game more, and had just lost their 10th consecutive league match. Notts ended up surviving quite comfortably in the end and are now preparing for the 2017/18 season with their Football League status intact. Hardy enjoys using Twitter and, over the last few months, has made extensi

Notts County made it four wins on the trot and five unbeaten in all competitions as they ground out a 1-0 win at Solihull Moors on Saturday. Wes Thomas grabbed the winner, pouncing at the back post to tap home his ninth of the campaign. The 32-year-old struck in the 72nd minute, getting on the end of a cross from Kyle Wootton, who had won possession while chasing a seemingly lost cause. Mitch Rose and Sam Slocombe helped preserve the Magpies' lead with late defensive interventions

Notts County made it to the first round proper of the FA Cup after beating Belper Town 2-1 at Meadow Lane. A potential banana skin for the Magpies began badly as Danny Gordon's long-range effort put the visitors one up just 11 minutes into the game. Neal Ardley's side managed to draw level when Enzio Boldewijn slotted into the bottom corner from the edge of the box via a potential slight Kristian Dennis deflection. It would remain tense for Notts as they spurned numerous chances b

Notts County made it back-to-back wins as they ran out 2-0 winners over AFC Fylde at Meadow Lane on Saturday. Wes Thomas opened the scoring for Neal Ardley's side on after 19 minutes as he went past several Fylde defenders before rifling into the roof of the net from the edge of the area. Fylde weighed in with several opportunities, with Danny Rowe looking dangerous, but goalkeeper Dan Lavercombe had to be sharp to thwart Sam Osborne and Kyle Wootton. The Magpies eventually got th

Notts County lost their unbeaten run at the weekend in their big National League clash against local rivals Chesterfield at the Proact Stadium. The in-form Magpies came into the match in fifth spot, having picked up 13 points from a possible 15 in the last month, and looked the more likely scorers early on. Kyle Wootton curled a shot just wide for the visitors before Kristian Dennis drew a good low save out of Chesterfield goalkeeper Shwan Jalal. However, against the run of play,

Notts County stretched their unbeaten run to four games with a 2-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday. Regan Booty's first strike at Meadow Lane, on 25 minutes, and Kristian Dennis' late effort ensured Neal Ardley's side moved up to eighth in the National League table. After Enzio Boldewijn fired over for Notts, home goalkeeper Sam Slocombe denied Reece Grant from a one-on-one and then parried James Dobson's shot. And the hosts made sure of the win three minutes from tim

Notts County came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw with Hartlepool United in Saturday's National League clash at Meadow Lane. The hosts began poorly and fell behind in the eighth minute when Gavan Holohan's strike took a deflection and beat goalkeeper Sam Slocombe. Three minutes before the break, Nicke Kabamba slid the ball through for Luke James who turned his man before curling home, but Notts halved the deficit within two minutes. Wes Thomas beat the defender to a ball over the

Kristian Dennis doubled County's advantage three minutes into the second half, glancing in a Sean Shields free-kick for his seventh goal of the season and third in as many games. Co

Notts County triumphantly made it through to the second round of the FA Cup as they struck deep in injury time to run out 3-2 winners at Ebbsfleet United. The hosts took the lead early on through Josh Payne's ferocious rocket from range, but a brace either side of half-time from Magpies striker Kyle Wootton put the visitors in control.

Bromley keeper Mark Cousins tipped away a goalbound corner from Jim O'Brien but could do nothing to stop Kyle Wootton’s third goal in as many game

Notts County substitute Kristian Dennis scored a late equaliser as the Magpies salvaged a draw at Dover at the Crabble Athletic Ground.

Richard Brindley was fouled by Taylor inside the box and Mitch Rose sent Lee Worgan the wrong way from the penalty spot to make it 1-1. The Magpies unfortunately found themselves trailing again in the 57th minute when

With three games left in League Two this season, Notts County remain in dire straits as they lost 2-1 against MK Dons at Meadow Lane. Second-half strikes from David Wheeler and Chuks Aneke consigned Neal Ardley's side to the foot of the Football League once again. Ben Barclay netted a late consolation for the beleaguered Magpies in injury time but it came way too late for it to have a meaningful impact. ARLukomski was at Meadow Lane for the game - here is his take on it.  

Notts County match day vlogger ARLukomski was there to capture the Magpies’ triumphant return to the Football League at the playoff final at Wembley. After four years in exile, following their relegation from League Two in the 2018/19 season, the Magpies were back. The match was an emotional rollercoaster for both teams and their supporters. Notts County demonstrated remarkable tenacity as they twice came from behind against Chesterfield. However, it was Cedwyn Scott who ultimately emerged

Notts County have stopped the rot with their first League Two victory since October as they claimed a 3-2 win against Tranmere Rovers in Saturday's clash at a freezing Meadow Lane. Jon Stead gave Neal Ardley the perfect start in his maiden Magpies home game in charge as, on 33 minutes he was on hand to finish off great work from Kane Hemmings and Dan Jones, who rolled the ball across the face of goal for his veteran colleague to tap home at the back post. However, the Birkenheaders wer

Notts County played out a 0-0 draw with Solihull Moors at Meadow Lane to sit 15th in the National League table with 10 points from nine games. Enzio Boldewijn came close to opening the scoring for Neal Ardley's side when his curling effort was saved by Solihull keeper Ryan Boot. Jamey Osborne almost gave the Moors the perfect start to the second half but his free kick crashed off the crossbar. Damien McCrory thought he had won it in added time for the hosts, however he headed over
