One of my favourite away grounds,possibly the most scenic in non league football apart from perhaps Lye Town
It is a superb setting,such a pity the pitch is so bloody awful,you'd think they could use the skills and the roller from the cricket club groundsman seeing as the clubs are right next to each other,it has to be said the pitch is a disgrace.
After a dodgy first 20 minutes we then went on to dominate for the remainder of the match with only a cruel bobble allowing their guy through for the late,undeserved leveller.
A much improved performance compared to the Mickleover game,with Stuart back in defence we looked more solid but Dan Scarr was my man of the match due to a composed,dominant performance.
Chris Lait was a big loss tonight but it gave Gary the opportunity to pair our "naughty" twins in midfield and push the ever reliable Leon out onto the left and they all played their part in an industrious performance and it was good to see Sean and Tonksy shake hands as Tonks was subbed.
Justin put a hard shift in again and although Karl wasn't at his best he provided a sharp finish to Stuart's superb diving header to give us a deserved lead.
Mentions for Gould who was excellent yet again and Junior who worked his nuts off at the back.
All in all the last 70 minutes was a very accomplished,controlled performance and it deserved three points.
I have to say though,the ref was an absolute joke and made mistake after mistake whilst dishing out long lectures but not enough cards to their rustic challenges,their number 6 in particular was a pain in the arse as well as being short and fat,he had a face that i doubt even his own mother could love….i'd love to have had the chance to applaud him getting a red but alas the ref whimped out!
The bloke had a death wish,squaring up to Justin at half time smacked of a man not in possession of all of his marbles!
Well done lads,a really good effort tonight and it's now just a case of who we play in the play offs because if we beat Whitby i don't see us being caught.
