Another good result today. Also the defeat for Worksop and the draw Marine v Rushall going for us keeps us in 5th and in the mix.

Not a classic by any means, neither goal keeper had too much to do, well taken goal by Sheehan, as usual squeaky bum time near the end but we deserved the result… Bye heck Kennedy has put soime weight on.
Great result, not pretty but effective.
MOMENTUM.
Well talk about winning ugly-awful game of football poor pitch two evenly matched sides, poor referee, and we still don’t look convincing at the back BUT like last year all that matters at this stage of the season is 3 points!!! Very important we have a very difficult run of games coming up. If we can improve our form against the top teams then beyond my wildest expectations the play offs will be in reach. UTA.
Good 3 points as long as we don’t pick up many injuries we can make the play offs!!! Does anyone know if Foster and Hancock were carrying knocks or we’re they being ‘rested’??
