Ton Up for Holmes
30th December, 2013
Rossington Main player/assistant manager Lee Holmes notched up his 100th NCEL goal for the Doncaster club and his 116th in all competitions at the weekend.
He scored a 62nd minute equaliser in the game against AFC Emley on Saturday to reach the milestone.
Lee (pictured right) has had various spells away from the club where he has also enjoyed scoring but it is with his home club that he has netted the most.
He returned to the club on the appointment of Steve Brennan in November and has continued where he left off in 2011.
His Main career started in the 2004/05 season where he netted six times at the tender age of 16, beginning from the bench against Carlton Town on 9th October 2004 with another bench appearance the following week.
He made his first team debut in a 1-0 defeat at Gedling Town in the Wilkinson Sword Trophy ten days later then his NCEL debut came on 23rd October 2004 where he scored at home to Worsbrough Bridge Athletic in a 5-2 defeat from the right-back position.
Appearances were limited in that first season and just another five goals were netted for the striker.
Again, during the 2005/06 season, appearances were limited and seven goals were the tally for Lee.
A spell away from the club saw him return in the 2007/08 season with thirteen goals.
His most prolific season so far at the club came in the 2008/09 season when he got 30 goals including two hat-tricks. An early highlight in that season saw him put the Main 1-0 up within four minutes of the pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers to add to that tally.
2009/10 saw 22 goals while just ten goals came in 2010-11 with three of those coming in one of the greatest games in recent memory for the club, the semi-final of the Wilkinson Sword Trophy, a 5-3 victory away at Louth Town.
24 goals were the total for the 2011/12 season but, once again, Lee was drawn away from the club for a while until his recent return.
Main say Lee is looking hungry and the added responsibility of assistant manager doesn't seem to have hindered the continued progress he is making.
