We
had yet to win a home league game this season but we were confident of a gaining

opening minutes of the match saw
We
needed to get ourselves back into the game, and with changes made as the game
went on, it was difficult to see just how we could pull one goal back. However,
chances were to come. Charlie Framptons header was again saved by the keeper, as
was Brad Monelle great run and shot at the near post. Another great corner from
Mo onto Scott Gregorys head again just didn’t have the power to beat the

Very frustrating afternoon, but we remain confident we can do better.
Man
of the Match today was awarded to Kyle Curtis who gave a very consistent
performance throughout the whole game left side of midfield.
