Pro Shottas Senior 0 vs 2 Notredame

On 20 May 2026, Pro Shottas Senior faced Notredame in a league neutral fixture at Inch Marlow, kicking off at 7:20pm. The match ended in disappointment for Pro Shottas Senior as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat after 90 minutes of competitive football.

Pro Shottas Senior lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying Nashton Browne in goal. The defensive line consisted of Nathan Blackman at right back, Romelle Burgess and Jenard Satney as central defenders, and Korey Reid on the left flank. In midfield, Zavion Nurse and Kobe Burgess operated as the two central midfielders tasked with both defensive cover and linking play. Ahead of them, the attacking midfield trio featured Teondre Hinkson on the right, Ackeem Holder centrally, and Ishaem Ellis on the left, supporting lone striker Xaveir Webster. The formation was designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking creativity, expecting the wide midfielders to supply crosses and the central attacking midfielder to orchestrate chances for Webster. The substitutes available were Keshawn Thomas, Jason Worme, Luke St.John, and Robiniho Phillips.

The match began with a physical edge as Jenard Satney committed an obstruction foul in the fifth minute, followed by a push three minutes later, signalling early defensive pressure. Nathan Blackman also found himself in trouble with a late tackle in the ninth minute, contributing to a tense opening period. Despite an offside call against Xaveir Webster in the 12th minute for a mistimed run, the decision was deemed incorrect, hinting at some contentious officiating. Shortly after, Ishaem Ellis received a yellow card for a bad tackle, and he was caught offside again two minutes later due to poor concentration.

Nathan Blackman continued to struggle with discipline, committing a push foul in the 17th minute, and Ackeem Holder was penalised for a similar offence two minutes later. Pro Shottas Senior’s attacking efforts began to show promise around the 25th minute when Holder’s shot was saved, and Zavion Nurse’s attempt went wide. However, Blackman’s poor tackling earned him a yellow card in the 26th minute, further complicating the defensive situation. Ishaem Ellis had two saved attempts in quick succession at the end of the first half, demonstrating his threat going forward.

The breakthrough came against Pro Shottas Senior in the 31st minute when Notredame scored directly from a corner kick, a set-piece goal that exposed defensive frailties. Pro Shottas Senior responded immediately with Teondre Hinkson’s shot saved and Ellis firing high shortly after. Romelle Burgess had a wide effort in the 33rd minute, and Hinkson’s saved attempt followed in the 35th minute, showing the team’s determination to find an equaliser. Another offside call against Webster in the 36th minute for a mistimed run halted a promising attack. Blackman’s persistent fouling continued with a push in the 37th minute.

Zavion Nurse’s wide shot in the 39th minute and Nashton Browne’s confident catch of a cross in the 40th minute kept Pro Shottas Senior in the game. Romelle Burgess had a saved attempt in the 42nd minute, and Kobe Burgess’s high shot in the 43rd minute marked the final notable chances before the half-time whistle.

At half-time, the scoreline stood at 1-0 to Notredame. Early in the second half, a tactical substitution saw Keshawn Thomas replace Nathan Blackman in the 46th minute, aiming to shore up the defence. Browne continued to impress with a safe catch of a cross immediately after the restart. Nurse’s wide effort in the 50th minute and Jenard Satney’s shot hitting the post in the 56th minute were moments of hope for Pro Shottas Senior.

The game remained physical with Ishaem Ellis committing an obstruction foul in the 59th minute and Kobe Burgess pushing an opponent in the 66th minute. Teondre Hinkson was replaced by Jason Worme in the 68th minute, signalling a shift in attacking options. Webster’s wide shot in the 69th minute and Kobe Burgess’s high attempt in the 72nd minute showed continued pressure but lacked precision.

Jenard Satney’s saved effort in the 80th minute was followed by Notredame doubling their lead in the 81st minute with a close-range finish, effectively sealing the match. Webster was caught offside again in the 83rd minute due to poor concentration. Luke St.John came on for Ishaem Ellis in the 85th minute, while Keshawn Thomas was penalised for holding in the 86th minute.

In the closing stages, Webster had multiple attempts saved in the 88th, 90th, and 96th minutes, but Pro Shottas Senior could not find a way back into the game. Robiniho Phillips replaced Korey Reid in the 90th minute as the team searched for a late spark.

Despite a spirited display and several chances, Pro Shottas Senior were unable to break down Notredame’s defence and ultimately fell to a 2-0 defeat at Inch Marlow. The match was marked by disciplinary issues and missed opportunities that proved costly against a clinical Notredame side.
