UNITED COUNTIES

TITLE-chasing Sherwood Colliery saw off lowly visitors Pinchbeck United 3-0 thanks to strikes by skipper Jobe Shaw, Craig Westcarr, Harry Bircumshaw and Aaron Korpal.

The goal was Korpal’s first since returning to the Debdale Park club. Korpal first joined the Wood in November 2022 after he was released from the Nottingham Forest academy.

He scored five goals in 12 games for them before switching to Anstey Nomads, who he helped win the Premier North title and earn promotion.

He has spent most of this season playing the United States before returning to the UK a few weeks ago. A Sherwood statement said: “The club are delighted to have Aaron back on board.”
