Waiting on here with bated breath, it will be great if we can move up to second and put pressure on Curzon and dare I say it, Fylde?

To be fair Lairds were worth their point in a dour game where we never played the football we can. Great strike again from Titch, but hats off to Lairds for their defensive display and that last minute headed goal from a far post free kick was deserved, albeit badly defended.
That said, we need to have a balance between not losing our cutting edge and not picking up injuries. The prospect of bigger games to come affects players amd I suspect we may see some lacklustre performances this coming week. As long as we are ready for the play offs that’s all that counts.
Gate? I reckon 200 with 150 Witton fans
Gate given as 133 so they obviously don’t count home fans!
To be fair Lairds played OK and deserved their point. They may well be relegated but who knows with the recent statement from the Evo Stick league. There may well be a few “tweeks” to the league during the summer. As long as we are in the Prem division next season that is all that matters! SBL
