Meh.

But I bet that Histon-Lewes game was a good'un. And hahaha! Cambridge lost at home to WSM! Not that I've anything against Cambridge, but WSM are so dire it's unbelievable. And I have to have something to laugh about when we lose to smelly Bedford

And well done Ha-yes for winning at Beertrain!

West Midlands League Division 1:

Cresswell Wanderers 3-2 Sporting Khalsa

So you decide to go to a game in the lower reaches of the pyramid who aren't even named after a proper town (they play at Cannock Cricket and Hockey Club), you think "Tinpot as hell!"

How wrong can you be!

Cresswell Wanderers have some of the best facilities I have seen in non-league football, not in terms of huge stands and things, but three astro turf pitches, several grass pitches including the main one which was in absolutely immaculate condition, a bar with three real ales on, a restaurant that we just had to stay and enjoy (superb steak and chips, all the trimmings, yummy!), I was gobsmacked as I never knew the place even existed.

I got talking to a couple of their committee members, Cresswell run twenty teams at all ages including a special needs team that have won several trophies and supplied players for the England special needs team. They are truly a fantastically run club who deserve any accolades that may come their way. Apparently over 80% of their players come from the Cannock / Bloxwich area and they encourage schools with troublesome kids to persuade them to go along and try using football to curb their aggression!

I loved the place and will be back as often as possible.

Not Tinpot - just fantastic.

Beertrain 0 - 1 Hayes

WE WON A F****** GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

First half was pretty dire. Second half we played better fotball and our passing improved dramatically (We actually started to pass on the ground!!). Our goal was a lucky one but its a goal nonetheless from a shot by Liam Feeney.

Final whistle was greeted with chants of "Can we play here! Can we play here! Can we play here every week!! Can we play here every week!" This game we brought about 14-16 supporters which isn't the best away support but you can't have everything.

Bring on the Eastbourne!!

[ambersalamander]

You did what? Congratulations, or may I say: Ha Yes!

Oooh, though, you don't want to play THERE every week trust me! I mean, I reckon we were justified last week in our enquiry as to the possibility of gaining permission to play at Bognor every week, but Braintree?!?!?! then again, even we won 1-0 at Braintree!

Ah, that'd explain it then- you were playing fotball while they were playing football, and you confused them into losing

Lincoln United 0-4 AFC Telford United

A very comfortable win in a game which we dominated from start to finish. If it wasn't for the efforts of former Grantham keeper Mario Ziccardi in the Lincoln goal it could have very easily been 6 or 7 goals in our favour it was that one sided.

We started straight on the attack but when we broke though we could not quite break past the Lincoln keeper. On 17 minutes we were awarded a penalty when midfielder Scott Willis was pulled down in the box, the ref had no choice but to point to the spot. Top scorer Steve Foster took the shot low and to the keepers left, keeper goes the wrong way, 1-0. We continued to attack but with no more success before half time.

In the second half we took a while to warm up but still had practically all of the posession. Tyrone Barnett doubled the lead on 71 minutes slotting past the advancing keeper and scoring his first goal since signing from Rushall Olympic. Lee Moore grabbed a third after his loan from Tamworth was extended to a third month when he took advantage of a mix up between keeper and defender on 76 minutes. Just two minutes later penalty scorer Steve Foster reacted badly to an elbow by Lincoln's number 5 that the ref missed, seeing what he did see however he had no choice but to show Steve Foster the red card for violent conduct. Their player was very lucky to to go the same way and assistant manager Larry Chambers told the ref what he thought of that, he was promptly ordered out of the dugouts.

3-0 up with 10 men, we played defensively for the rest of the game with the aim to keep a clean sheet, Lee Moore still grabbed a 2nd goal on 86 minutes to make it 4-0 and almost finished his hat-trick in the 5 minutes of injury time in a one on one with the keeper, only for it to go out for a corner.

An outstanding performance all round yesterday, every player played well and it was tough to pic a man of the match.

Final Score: LUFC 0-4 AFCTU
My Motm: 10. Tyrone Barnett
Followed closely by: 11. Lee Moore
