Two men have been charged with possessing and making indecent images of children in connection with an international child pornography investigation.

Andrew Leslie Waude, 40, of Marston Road, Nottingham, was charged on Tuesday and has been bailed to appear at Nottingham Magistrate's Court on March 2.

A second man, Paul Tuffin, 27, of David Grove in Beeston, has also been charged with possessing and making indecent images of children, as well as perverting the course of justice. He has been bailed to appear at Nottingham Magistrate's Court on February 19.

Both men were arrested as part of Project Spade, a global child exploitation sting spearheaded by police in Canada.

Long Eaton made the journey to Skegness for their Midlands Four clash and came away 14-5 winners.

With an icy wind and a heavy pitch, the game was going to be a hard slog.

Skegness started the better with good periods of gaining ground, which resulted in them taking the lead.

But Long Eaton used their strength in the scrum to push Skegness back and with some good phases of play man of the match Ryan Beresford broke through to score. He then converted.

Long Eaton carried this form on to score again, this time it was team captain Gary Sumpter to add to the points tally.

In the same division, Bingham lost 31-6 at home to Buxton at Brendon Grove.

Ollerton travelled to Meden Vale in Midlands Five and won 19-17 in a fiery game.

In the first half it was all Ollerton with full-back David Wilson and lock Richard Smith scoring fine tries, both converted by Ben Marson for 14-0 at the break.

The second half was a different story, Ollerton scored early with centre Scott Rickets going over.

Vale hit back with their dominant pack and scored three tries and one conversion, but Ollerton just managed to hold on.

Man of the match went to Ollerton's scrum-half Jack Cranmer.

Mansfield returned to winning ways with a 34-7 win over Spalding at Eakring Road in a powerhouse display that saw them pick up five valuable points in Midlands One East.

The first score came from the home team, a scrum in the middle of the park, followed by some good recycling and phase play, saw Aiden McGregor bundle himself over.

Then, after turning over Spalding ball, Mansfield set off with McGregor throwing a fine reverse pass to allow young winger Isaac Marsden a clear run under the posts. The conversion made it 12-0.

Inspiration for the Blue and Whites then came from prop Danny Ellis dummying and side-stepping two defenders to drive Mansfield further up field and, soon after, scrum-half and man of the match Alan Symcox (pictured) delivered a trademark burst from five meters to score. The kick made it 19-0.

Spalding hit back but were thwarted as winger Emanuel Ogunode produced two try-saving tackles and Symcox got an interception.

Two minutes into the second half, a penalty gave Mansfield field position for Callum Wood to find a gap to add the much-needed bonus point try.

Spalding came back with a converted try, but more pressure did not bring any more scores.

A turnover in their own 22 then saw Joe Symcox deliver a 20-metre run, the ball was kept alive by Alan Symcox before McGregor decided to take on the defence himself, drawing two men and offering another perfectly timed inside pass to set Josh Hall on his way as he produced a length of the field effort to make it 29-7.

The hosts saw Alex Miles sent to the sin bin, but the last word still belonged to Mansfield as Hall went over after more dominance in the scrum.

Newark produced a determined effort against Midlands One East leaders Old Northamptonians as they lost 34-8.

A try by wing Will Britten was the highlight for Newark, coming after a sustained passage of play in the second half and a pin-point cross kick from Mark Byrom to the wing.

Newark had taken the lead in the first half through an early penalty from Dan Mackie and turned round only 3-8 down.

ONs took control in the first quarter of the second half when they scored two tries.

Newark responded to gain the try for Britten which gave some hope of a losing bonus point. But ONs finished on top by scoring twice in the closing minutes.

Ilkeston saw off a battling Belgrave side 27-21 in Midlands One East in a game where plenty of yellow cards were dished out by the official.

Elks started with the slope advantage and made all the early running, as Jono Falls was halted with ten metres to the line by a high tackle.

Ilkeston kicked to touch and quick recycling of the ball after the line-out helped Tom Hicks make a decisive break to feed Jacob Heath, who sprinted clear to score in the corner, Falls added a difficult conversion.

Belgrave responded with a penalty two minutes later, but back came Elks and Greg Taylor and Dan Hyams almost got their side over again.

But a second try did arrive on 27 minutes when Falls made a great angle run and pierced the defence, he drew the last defender and fed Heath to score his second.

Belgrave slotted a drop goal to reduce the lead soon after and got a penalty on 38 minutes.

But good work in the backs created an overlap for Isaac Taylor to score on the stroke of half time for Ilkeston for 17-9.

Belgrave now had the slope but there first territorial kick was poor and allowed Heath to counter attack, the ball was recycled and man of the match Tom Pottinger carried on the move on the right before off-loading one handed to Isaac Taylor to score in the corner.

Belgrave came back strong and the Elks penalty count was beginning to mount, patience wore out from the referee and Hyams received the first of several yellows, with Matt Watkins and Simon Bennett then heading to the sin bin within three minutes of each other.

Belgrave opted for a scrum from a penalty which collapsed on impact and the referee gave a penalty try on 58 minutes, with the conversion making it 22-16.

They made their numerical advantage count further when going over for an unconverted effort for 22-21.

Joel Haigh was then harshly shown a yellow and, soon after, Belgrave missed a penalty that would have given them the lead.

Belgrave lost a man to the sin bin themselves on 72 minutes, before Isaac Taylor saw yellow soon after as the cards began to stack up.

But Elks put the game to bed when kicking a penalty to touch, driving forward and recycling the ball for Falls to feed Jake Lamb to complete the scoring.

Nottingham Outlaws' involvement in the 2015 Challenge Cup came to an abrupt end when they were comprehensively outplayed by the rising stars of Blackbrook from the National Conference League.

Despite competing for large chunks of the game, the Outlaws line was repeatedly breached as the classy visitors put on a try-scoring masterclass, scoring nine tries in a 50-4 demolition.

The Outlaws took to the field without a competitive fixture behind them since their last game in September.

With less than five minutes on the clock, Tom Cunningham scored for the visitors to make it 4-0 and the score soon doubled when Danny Fairhurst went over in the opposite corner.

After an awful opening the Outlaws at last began to settle as man of the match Sam Campbell was hauled down just short of the whitewash.

But Blackbrook ran in four tries in a devastating 15-minute spell at the end of the first half to make the score 32-0.

Steve Parkinson stretched the lead to 38 in the first minute after the restart.

The Outlaws did not throw in the towel and they opened their account when Pat Crumay made a fine break down the left centre channel, drawing in the Blackbrook cover before releasing Campbell (pictured) who swept in at the corner.

The Outlaws continued to press and twice Ben Scott-Nelson was held up on the last tackle just short.

As the game reached the final ten minutes, Steve Packman and Sam Long both scored from well-worked moves down back line for Blackbrook.

The last kick saw Parkinson notch his seventh conversion.

Nottingham Casuals were left wondering what might have been after Matlock grabbed a last-minute 28-26 victory, depriving them of a well-deserved victory over the runaway Midlands Two East North leaders.

Casuals exerted early pressure on Matlock as a run from centre Miles Johnson led to a breakdown near the line and scrum-half Ben Newton dived over for the try.

Mark Higgins converted and minutes later kicked a penalty from 35 metres when Matlock were penalised for a high tackle.

Matlock brought themselves back into the game when they kicked a penalty to the corner, and subsequently went in at the corner for a try.

A Higgins penalty extended Casuals' lead and, only moments later, Steve Naylor charged into the corner for Casuals' second try. Higgins converted from the touchline.

Matlock had to play with 14 men due to a yellow card, and that was followed up by a second yellow for the same player when he returned to the pitch.

Despite that, they managed to get a penalty to reduce the arrears.

Nottingham's Graeme Roberts was sent to the bin just before half time, but the hosts led 20-11 at the break.

Higgins punished a pull down in the line-out, with another penalty and the Casuals were looking pretty strong at this stage. But Matlock's determination took them up to Casuals' line for a try of their own.

Casuals' response was emphatic, and they drove a maul 30 metres, almost up to Matlock's try line, but the referee awarded the scrum to Matlock, when the maul was collapsed in front of the posts.

Casuals kept up the pressure and James Constable slotted a penalty to pull the home side further in front.

Another yellow card to a Casuals player did not help their cause, but the referee's liberal use of cards should have been a warning.

Unfortunately a couple of lapses led to Matlock scoring two further tries to earn themselves the bonus point, and a conversion was enough for Matlock to sneak the win.

Casuals have been chosen by the Rugby Football Union to be a recipient of one of the 'Transforming Social Spaces Grants' for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, which is being staged in England and Wales.

The grant will enhance the club's social facilities and provide a resource to be used by the local community.

The club room and bar improvements will help the club raise its profile and encourage more players, volunteers and spectators to share the special values that distinguish the sport.

Lech Kluk, chairman of Nottingham Casuals, said: "We are delighted our project has been chosen as a recipient for a Transforming Social Spaces Grant.

"We will now have some of the best facilities in the area that local people from Beeston can use. The 2015 Rugby World Cup will inspire a new wave of people of all ages to become involved in rugby and this RFU investment will help our club to be even better equipped to welcome newcomers."

To support the improvements the club are looking for donations of building and decorating materials.

A robber threatened a cashier at a Radford bookmakers before fleeing with cash.

The man burst into the Betfred bookmakers on the junction of Ilkeston Road and Radford Boulevard at about 9.15pm on Sunday.

The man indicated he was carrying a gun although none were seen. Staff were left shaken but otherwise unharmed.

The robber is described as black, around 5ft 5ins tall and is of slim-to-medium build. His face was partially covered and he was wearing dark clothing.

He was last seen running from the shop in the direction of Ilkeston Road and Forrester Street.

PC Caroline Dobson, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "The bookmakers is situated close to a busy junction and we are appealing for anyone that saw anything suspicious – whether it be anyone loitering nearby or running away – to contact us.

"Thankfully, no-one was injured during the robbery but we know that these incidents have had a dramatic impact on those involved, who are targeted as they go about their everyday work.

"Enquiries are continuing and we are appealing to anyone with information to come forward to help find those responsible."

Call police on 101 with information, quoting incident number 797 of February 8.

Team news: Forest boss Dougie Freedman has no fresh injury worries to concern him, with Danny Collins and Chris Burke both having shaken off slight problems following the game against Brighton.

Michael Mancienne is not thought to be ready for a return to Reds action, but is close following his recent injury problems. While Chris Cohen and Andy Reid remain long term absentees.

Wigan, who made four changes for their defeat against Bournemouth, could shuffle their pack again and hand striker Billy McKay his full debut after he came off the bench in the second half to play alongside another man who made his bow on Saturday, in Leon Clarke.

Last time they met: Wigan 0, Forest 0: Tuesday, September 30, 2014: Stuart Pearce's Nottingham Forest let the chance to go top of the Championship table slip by on a frustrating night at Wigan.

It was the home side who came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half, with Emmerson Boyce heading wide and James McClean firing over.

But the Reds hit back after the break when Henri Lansbury and Michail Antonio both came close to netting a winner.

It was the third 0-0 draw in a row for Forest in the Championship, who would have gone top had they managed to snatch a win.

They still moved level on points with leaders Norwich City, after the Canaries were beaten 1-0 at home by Charlton.

Key battle: Britt Assombalonga v Liam Ridgewell: The 30-year-old defender has vast Premier League experience with Aston Villa, West Brom and Birmingham City and is an impressive loan signing for the Latics. 

Ridgewell is plying his trade with Portland Timbers in the MLS, but will be relishing the chance to prove himself on home soil.

His challenge will be to quell the attacking threat of Forest's top scorer Britt Assombalonga, who has – by his high standards – suffered a frustrating time recently.

Assombalonga has scored two goals in his last ten outings, taking his tally to 14 for the campaign – a number he will hope to add to against a fragile Wigan rearguard.

Wigan one to watch: James McClean: Following the latest raft of player departures in January, the Irish international midfielder is now the club's top scorer this season, with just five goals.

The 25-year-old former Sunderland player will be the player to watch out for as Forest go looking for a first home win in three months. Wigan have scored only three goals in their last seven games and McClean has provided two of those, in a 3-1 defeat at Birmingham and a 1-1 draw at home to Blackburn.

Much travelled striker Leon Clarke made Wigan his 17th club at the age of just 30 when he arrived on loan just before the window closed and did net on his debut, in the 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth, and the Latics will hope that he can provide some scoring support to McClean.

Wigan boss in focus: Malky Mackay: The former Cardiff boss will probably not have envisaged the struggle he was about to take on when he followed in the footsteps of Uwe Rosler back in November.

But a Wigan side that has seen much of it's best talent sold off continues to struggle in the Championship, even despite the presence of the experienced boss.

Mackay has hardly inspired a turnaround in form at Wigan, winning only one of his 13 games in charge, while drawing three and losing nine. Mackay, who had previously boasted a good record at Watford and Cardiff, will not want a relegation on his CV, to follow on from the recent racism controversy that surrounded his departure from Cardiff – and continues to overshadow his Wigan tenure.

Wigan have recorded just two wins in 25 games in all competitions and, more recently, have collected only seven points from their last 15 Championship fixtures.

Former Nottingham Forest star Jermaine Jenas has paid tribute to the hard work a city school is doing to make sure all its children can read.

The central midfielder and BBC pundit visited Sneinton Church Of England Primary School on Tuesday, February 10, to take part in a celebration.

The Windmill Lane school invited the Clifton-born player to help mark the achievements of 44 pupils who had previously struggled with reading before taking part in a Reading Recovery course.

The 31-year-old, who is currently a free agent after his Queens Park Rangers contract expired last season, said: "The work the teachers are doing here is so important because they are catching the children that are struggling before it is too late.

"I think it is so important that we work with schools and give children something to aim for.

"In my sport, practice makes perfect, and that is the same when it comes to reading.

"I have two little girls and we sit down and read every night because it is that important.

"I feel a huge attachment to the city and I wanted to give something back to the children here."

Mr Jenas attended the Blessed Robert Widmerpool Catholic Voluntary Academy and The Becket School before coming through the Forest Youth Academy.

He has been a keen supporter of the Reading Recovery programme which aims to get all children reading well by the age of 11.

Pupils at the Sneinton school were excited to meet the star and receive their reading certificates during a special assembly.

Scarlett Anderson, 9, from Year 5, said: "We were doing more reading so we get better at it.

"We have been doing it for a while but I am now more confident at it.

"I do sometimes struggle with words I don't know but I now really enjoy reading."

The 44 children read poems and extracts from famous books in front of an audience of friends, family and teachers during the afternoon assembly.

Year 4 pupil Jessica Hodgson-Mensah now reads several times a day.

The eight-year-old said: "My favourite types of stories are adventure ones.

"I used to really struggle with my reading but I don't anymore.

"I read about five times a day for roughly 10 to 15 minutes at a time."

The Reading Recovery programme includes one to one sessions with children everyday for roughly 100 hours.

Reading Recovery teacher Julie Doyle has been working at the school for the last six years.

She said: "I am really proud of our children and the progress that they have made.

"When it comes to reading children learn at different rates and problems can vary.

"If any problems are not picked up early there is a risk of that child falling through the gaps and leaving school not able to read properly."

Former Forest player Jermaine Jenas gave the Post his view on the latest changes at the club.

He said: "Stuart (Pearce) is a top guy but the team was in relegation form.

"I would have liked to have seen him stay at Forest in some capacity but I understand why he hasn't.

"Hopefully Dougie (Freedman) can last a few more games."

Nottingham Forest have seen off competition from Chelsea to sign teenager Jordan Gabriel from Southend. The Premier League giants were among a number of clubs chasing the 16-year-old full-back's signature, but the Reds won the race to bring him to the City Ground. Academy manager Gary Brazil says the Scotland youth international has raw talent to work with. Brazil said: "The boy is going to be someone who the strength and conditioning department can work hard with. His speed and strength stats are very good. "We're pleased – there were other people very interested but he's chosen to come to us." Gabriel will commence his scholarship at the Nigel Doughty Academy next year. The move comes on the same day Forest handed professional deals to four of their academy squad. Tyler Walker, Nikolay Todorov, Matty Cash and Freddie Nielsen have all been identified as potential stars of the future. Forest may to turn to youth in the coming months with the club under transfer embargo for breaching Financial Fair Play rules, meaning they currently cannot pay a transfer fee for a player. However, their academy continues to produce talent. They are in the last eight of the FA Youth Cup with a tie against Tottenham to come.

A mother-of-five who claimed to be a single parent in need of benefit was living with her partner for years and swindling the taxpayer out of more than £29,000.

Jeanette McNab has four of her children with her current partner, aged 16, nine, five and 21 months, and a 24-year-old son from a previous relationship.

Having known her for 20 years, her partner gave her name as next of kin and called her his fiancee and had bank accounts and credit cards at her address.

McNab admitted she was committing fraud - because she should have informed the authorities he was living with her.

At Nottingham Crown Court, she pleaded guilty to two offences.

But she was not sent to prison because of her children and particular long-standing health problems.

Judge Michael Stokes QC gave her 12 months concurrently on both charges, suspended for one year, with a tagged home curfew for 90 days, between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

He told McNab, 41, of Rivermead, Cotgrave: "Over a period of several years you have, from the outset it seems, deliberately applied for benefit and housing benefit and council tax reduction or exemption on a wholly false basis.

"You have four children, aged between 21 months and 16 years, all of whom have been fathered by the man you have manifestly been living with over a lengthy period of time."

He said she deserved to go to prison for 12 months, giving her credit for her guilty pleas, but he could not ignore the fact that she is a mother with health problems.

However, he stressed that it had to be known in cases of deliberate fraud that having children "cannot be produced as the ace of Trumps" in avoiding an immediate custodial sentence.

Sarah Munro, prosecuting, said the total overpayment of benefit to McNab was £29,315.49.

She had claimed income support between August 5, 2010, and January 22, 2014, on the grounds she was single with four children.

She received housing benefit and council tax benefit for the same reasons over the same timeframe, the court heard.

Adrian Reynolds, in mitigation, said McNab had been working as a cleaner at a nursery for nearly a year and her partner is not well paid.

He said: "This is not someone engaging in a Champagne fraud."

Ten female fans have been given the chance to star in a new music video thanks to Nottingham grime artist Gino.

He took to social media site Twitter yesterday to advertise for "pretty girls" to appear in the shots, filmed for his new single I No.

After hundreds of replies, he chose ten women to feature in the track, filmed at city centre bar Nirvana on February 10.

Lucy Williams, 18, of Beeston, was among Gino's Twitter followers to be picked for the shoot.

She said: "I saw the tweet and sent in a picture and my name and it all just took off from there. I didn't think he would choose me out of all the people to reply. I follow Gino and everything he does, he's really good at keeping in touch with his fans on social media."

Lucy said she had been preparing for the 5pm shoot for four hours and hoped starring in the video could help her crack her way into showbiz.

"It's something I'd like to do more of," she said. "Maybe as a career. I'm a really good dancer so I think I could do it. Hopefully Gino will invite me back to the next video."

Hey ladies,�� I NEED {10} #Pretty Girls 4 my #VideoShoot��this (Tuesday 10th)#DressCoad Smart & Classy DM Me with ya Name & Picture 18 & Over

— #GI NA NA NO (@GinoGmanGi) February 9, 2015

Brenna Borghisani-Levy, of Stapleford, has also been a ring girl for Carl Froch and hosts nights at Nirvana and other Nottingham nightclubs.

"I didn't really know what he was looking for when I applied," the 20-year-old said. "I'm glad he chose a lot of local people to be part of his video.

"I like being in front of the camera so this is something I'd like to do more of. There are not a lot of ways into the music business so Gino's really given us an opportunity."

Gino told the Post that his tweet was a spur of the moment idea and has responses from all over the country. "I just say things when I feel like it," he said. "I wanted to give people the chance to get involved."

The new video will depict a scene in the VIP section of the Nirvana nightclub, a regular haunt for Gino and his "crew".

"I like this place [Nirvana] and come here quite a lot and it's full of good people," he said. "This video is all about showing us having a good time, which is what we do."

Gino said his new track I No would have a more R&B feel than his previous work as he wants to be seen as an entertainer and performer rather than an MC.

Promotions manager at Nirvana, Lukas Muszyn, said the bar has welcomed the likes of Carl Froch and ice hockey players from the Nottingham Panthers.

"I know Gino well and we're pleased he decided to shoot the video here," he said.

Plans to introduce smaller bins to save Nottinghamshire County Council £1.5 million every year have been scrapped.

The authority was looking at reducing bin sizes from 240 to 180 litres as it tries to save £30 million over the next three years.

The ruling Labour group put forward 58 money-saving ideas, including smaller bins, which would have saved £1.5 million in landfill tax. But more than 60 per cent of respondents were against the idea.

"We always knew that the proposal would be controversial and, indeed, it turned out to be the most unpopular idea in our Budget proposals," said Councillor Jim Creamer, chairman of the council's environment and sustainability committee.

"We've listened to what people have said and recognise that this proposal caused genuine concern for households and there was little response from districts wishing to participate in the trial."

Nottinghamshire County Council spends £20 million a year disposing of waste that is not being recycled and is encouraging people to offer suggestions that might help find a solution. Some forecasts suggest that the county will run out of landfill within five years.

"EU and national recycling targets are likely to be introduced and enforced over the next few years so we need to think long and hard about what we do with our waste – and in particular how we increase the amount we recycle," said Councillor Creamer.

"Landfill really is a last resort – there's no way back once it's in your general waste bin. We need to reuse and recycle as much as possible."

Balint Bajner was given a special Hungarian welcome at Leyton Orient tonight as his countrymen turned out in force to roar the Notts County striker to glory.

More than 100 Hungarians crammed into the Matchroom Stadium holding flags and singing the forward's name during the League One clash.

They could be heard singing "no Bajner, no party" throughout the League One clash as Notts looked to end a run of three straight defeats.

Bajner was appreciative of the support from his homeland as the striker aimed to break his duck in front of goal for the club and did so after just 20 minutes to give Notts the lead, before celebrating by running over 70 yards to celebrate with his Hungarian fans. 

Many of the fans who turned out had flown over from Hungary and before the game had taken residence in a nearby pub where they sang songs including the famous Magpies anthem "I had a wheelbarrow".

It merely ramped up the cult hero status Bajner is currently enjoying at Meadow Lane, having signed for the club during last month's transfer window.

Such is his popularity, which stems from his exploits at Ipswich, the Magpies have had to set up a Hungarian Magpies account on Facebook after their site was besieged with the tag "no Bajner, no party".

Such is Balint Bajner's cult hero status at Notts County that within seconds of scoring his first ever goal for the club, their social media went into meltdown.

More than 5,000 likes were registered on one Facebook status alone, but away from the world-wide web, that fervour was certainly matched in one corner of Brisbane Road's tight stadium.

Waving Hungary flags and singing "no Bajner, no party" those fans who flew over from the striker's homeland just to watch him in action will never forget their trip to this part of East London.

The goal itself was a peach too as a neat pirouette from Garry Thompson's pass and an instinctive left foot drive left Alex Cisak with little chance.

But it was the celebrations which followed which proved just what a wonderful story Bajner's arrival has become as he ran the full length of the pitch to share his first goal in English football with his 100-plus countrymen.

Shaun Derry would have no doubt revelled in the goal himself, but it was the win which would have undoubtedly given him the greatest satisfaction after a difficult few weeks.

It wasn't vintage Notts by any means, but it didn't need to be and this was a flashback to those gritty away performances which has sparked their rise up the League One table back in September.

Crucially it ended a sequence of three straight defeats but, in fairness, any fears that his side may be suffering from a lack of confidence were quickly dispelled.

A blistering start should have actually resulted in a goal when Liam Noble played an inch-perfect pass into the feet of Garry Thompson who scampered through on goal.

Those who had seen the striker finish a similar chance against Coventry earlier in the season were perhaps expecting a similar outcome as he bore down on goal.

But the winger, who is the club's top scorer, could not make it nine for the season as he powered a shot just wide of the far post.

You wondered whether Notts would rue that missed opportunity and what it would do a side who had found goals hard to come by.

Orient, in desperate need of results, were undoubtedly relieved to be let off the hook and went in search of the opening goal themselves.

A mass goal-mouth scramble ensued soon afterwards following a dangerous corner which Mike Edwards did superbly to hack away.

The game was beginning to open up and in the 20th minute, it was Notts who broke the deadlock.

Great work by Bajner saw him slip in Garry Thompson and the winger picked out his team-mate who controlled a superbly before spinning to drill a low shot beyond Cisak.

The big Hungarian's celebration saw him run the full length of the pitch to a small band of fans who had flown over from his homeland as he revelled in his first goal for the club.

Orient's response was strong, but they struggled to break down a Notts defence which was being marshalled superbly by Edwards and Hayden Mullins.

And when they were beaten by the pace of Chris Dagnall, Gary Jones backtracked magnificently to divert his shot behind for a corner.

There were still some anxious moments to negotiate for the visitors as the game crept to half-time and it was mainly through their own doing.

A free-kick pumped into the box teased Roy Carroll off his line and his punch fell straight to the feet Shane Lowry. His instinctive first-time shot looked to be heading in until Edwards made a terrific block.

Derry would not have wanted a repeat of that in the second half as Orient, who went into this game rock bottom of the table, tried to engineer an equaliser.

But when top scorer Dagnall was substituted early on, chants of 'you don't know what you're doing' let manager Fabio Liverani know just what they thought of the decision.

Derry, accustomed to making changes of his own, decided to keep faith with his own 11, but had to watch Orient try and put his team under consistent pressure.

However, there were no real moments of concern until the last ten minutes when substitute Dean Cox forced Carroll into a low save.

And there were more moments of anxiety when Cox hung a ball up to the back post only for Ryan Hedges to bundle the ball wide.

Notts' attacking moments were fleeting and their aim now was to try to run the clock down with Kwame Thomas, on as a substitute for Bajner, content to keep the ball in the corner.

The striker was making himself a nuisance as time ticked away and had he had more strength to fend off Mathieu Baudry may have even helped himself to a goal.

But it didn't matter as Notts, aided by Bajner, would have felt like holding a party on a memorable night at Brisbane Road.

Orient: Cisak, Sawyer, Vincelot, Cuthbert, Baudry, Lisbie, Mooney (Hedges 86), Lowry, Wright, Pritchard (Cox 63), Dagnall (Batt 58). Subs: McAnuff, Clarke, Bartley, Woods, Hedges

Notts: Carroll, Dumbuya, Adams, Mullins, Hayhurst, G Thompson, Jones, C Thompson, Noble, Bajner (Thomas 78), Edwards. Subs: Hollis, White, Daniels, Woolery, Harrad, Pilkington.

Referee: James Linington

Attendance: 3,534 (339 visitors)

Man of the match: Mike Edwards: While Balint Bajner would have grabbed the headlines with the goal, veteran defender Edwards returned to the team and was a colossus. Won a series of important headers and his experience helped Notts keep a clean sheet.
