Star & Garter 3-1 Sparta Moshdock

Great result against a very good side today.

No side was on top in the first half, there was no clear cut chances but as per Aaron Preston tucked his half chance away late in the first half.

We then proceeded to dominate the 2nd half but it took us a while to get the equaliser, I'll be honest I thought it wouldn't come but Lee Linnett was hauled down in the area and George slotted the pen away, we gained a bit of confidence from this and Jim was able to scramble home a 2nd.

Game was tense from then on especially with Luke Cooper in goal, always afraid that any decent shot on target would go in! but Karl Towers neatly finished to confirm the win.

Great result for us.

Mivan 2 royal oak 1

We were A depleted team today and had to change formation. It was all about staying solid today and in the end came off the pitch disappointed that we had conceded. Oak have got some good players and should do alright. Really disappointed by the way some of the oak players approached the game, they just hacked at our lads consistently throughout the game. Especially their skipper but that's just my opinion. As a centre back I don't think we were particularly troubled but saying that it was more of a midfield battled.

Don't know how the first free kick for the handball can be disputed because the exact same thing in the exact same position was given to royal oak in the second half, only difference being that we took the chance.

Scorers:
Rav Dhillon
Scott Pestell

Friar Lane 0 - 6 The Plough

Gaz Norman
Gray Rowe
Jack Pritchard
Chris sands
Dean Coles 2

Good performance from the plough lads today which proved to be to much for friar lane. Some well worked goals, but still a bit work to do till we are playing at our best. Well played to friar lane, they are not a bad team, and all the best for the rest of the season.

Dont be sorry to say that we a div 4 standard that is what we are we tried to tell the league that at the start of the season but they only put us in div 1.

Was always going to be a tough game today but we still put a full 11 out with 3 subs so commitment is there just got to try and keep people interested all season which will be tough if you are losing every week.

was a good game today though at least we can have a laugh about it all and i even got to go in goal second half which was a laugh

The difference with the hand ball free kicks was that your player had his arms up. I didn't see hacking going on and am very happy how we approached the game. We are not a dirty team, just a committed one. Well done on your victory!

Sporting birstall 3-2 Global athletic, birstall not at their best today and didn't pass the ball to our usual standard, but a wins a win. We can only get better as the season goes on, young team with plenty of time to get better and better.

really good battle with hoskins today. Good chances at both ends and could have been more goals from both sides. one goal apiece, our goal from earl murray. The kind of game you get out of bed for!

very good game to be fair could of gone either way at the end but we thought we was unlucky not to win we had more chance 3 1on1 but nri keeper saved them from a rout

big team nri are about 7ft throughout

cheers mate, thought it was closer than that and draw was fair result but enjoyed it, our lads may be talk but your boys look like a walking advert forgolds gym!

keeper was me, just made some lucky guesses!

maybe a draw maybe fair but youve made 3 saves from 1on1 . we hit post hit bar . we just feel 2 points dropped without taking credit away because you lot have a solid team there all work 90 mins and thats gets teams points !!!
good luck over the season widds hope u boys can stay up contention

Agree with coleman, widds kept nri in the game both 1st and 2nd half, think anyone watching would agree

Mate your boys attitude today was top notch!! Like you say full 11 with 3 subs is quality, end of the day you have a good bunch of lads there and yeah it will be tough this season but then you'll be put in right division next!! You never know you might go on a cup run

Birstall Rangers 0-5 Niffy Res
Goals from Paul Gordon 2, Nathan Rutter, Leon Blaber and Glynn Royle.

Really happy with todays result, was solid all over the park from Goalkeeper to Striker. We were a little shakey in the early exchanges but the backline and keeper kept the game level. Then we managed to get a goal from a breakaway which Rutter cleanly tucked away, the second was not long after and was a fantastic striker by Paul right in the top corner. 2-0 at half time,
The second half started and it was even again, unfortunately for Birstall we have a great break away with Leon Blaber using his incredible pace to leave the defence waiting and when his shot come off the post Paul was there to tuck in his 2nd and our 3rd. This is when Birstall had to go gung ho which left gaps and we could have scored a number of goals but only Leon and Glynn adding before the final whistle. We never really looked like conceding which is why our centre back got man of the match and a well earned beer!!
Monsell Next week....

kmr will see the season out without a doubt and its then upto the league weather they go div2 3 or even 4.
but honestly hope they pick up wins soon there a good bunch and i know some well

Barcabullona 1 - 6 Fosse City

Good result for us today, turned up fearing the worst after seeing the Barcabullona result from last week but we totally dominated the first half and went in 2-0 up. Probably should have been more goals for us with the chances we created but Barca could have had a couple on the break also.

We bagged a third early in second half but then failed to kill the game. Barca pulled one back from the penalty spot with 20 to play which kicked us back into gear, with us scoring 3 in the last 15 minutes. Nath Williams was brilliant today and deserved his hat trick.

Another good bunch of lads at Barca, we're now looking forward to Kirby next week.

Fosse scorers: Nath Williams 3, Dean Wade, Dean Morgan, Jamie Barnett.

I heard Rutter managed to punch a spectator but avoid a red card.

What's the punishment for 2 reds in 3 games?

Hoskins 1 NRI 1

A lot happier today than last week but we were very lucky to get a point today, Hoskins should have scored a hatful, and if it wasn't for Widds saving us about 20 times it could have got silly.

Reckon we will be in that relegation dog fight with Kirby and Niffy though, will also add though that you gotta respect Kirby as they sound like they will see the season out till the end. FAIR PLAY.....

Time to say bye bye, no room for violent people in the alliance, send him packing.

Yes it was Tom Tinney at CB who got man of the match.

Rutter didn't hit a spectator and didnt get sent off. Will not comment on discipline any further.

Phoenix 0 - 2 superfly

Scorer : Jay Heighton.

Very frustrating first half for us, we spent almost the whole half attacking.
Credit to Phoenix they were very under strength and battled all the way through.
An incredible overhead kick from around 20 yards out put us ahead thanks to jay.
We also had a goal dissallowed due a debatable offside.
Jay got the 2nd with a nicely slotted shot from a low cross.

Very well reffed by Phil Stacey.

Best of luck to Phoenix for the rest of the season......... Minus our reverse fixture.

Just 2 let u know the lad that went off broke his arm,

Was funny seeing Oadby Owls had all grown up since I last played against them 2 seasons ago. Still a great passing side and the hardest game I've had at right back all season!

Cold bath time.

Well done to Fosse today, thoroughly deserved the win. Scoreline was a bit harsh but nevertheless there was only 1 team in it. We'll make plenty of friends playing like that every week, won't make plenty of points though.

No excuses, full side out, although skipper and both centre backs were carrying injuries from the start but it wouldn't of mattered as we were played off the park.

Probably be battling out at the wrong end of the table to be honest.

Bring on Thurmaston!!!

What happened to Kirby Mixloe Rangers? last time i came on here they was doing pretty well in the prem and was a hard team to beat?

Saff lounge 6-2 MDH

Poor day for us, we don't have a good record at their place and a slow start saw us 2-0 down and man down after our skipper was red carded for handball inside the first 10 minutes. Was always going to be tough from then on, the changes we had to make didn't help our game and ended up pretty much long balls all around. The rest of the half though it would of been hard to tell we were a man down as we created plenty and got 1 back before the break. Second half and the Saff front 3 Rowley, Keo and Ray were always dangerous but we still created chances too before an unfortunate deflection lobbed our keeper, then a good run and cross from their lad was deflected into our own goal, we threw everything forward after that going 3-3-3 to get back in it but it left spaces that Saff exposed.

Thought the red card was very soft handling a cross albeit inside the six yard box and from then on although we never really felt out of the game until the last 15 or so but it was always an up hill struggle and too many players well below par, need to bounce back next week!

fc pochin 3 mark j rees 1
down to bare 12 again today and had to stick the centre back in goal
took a 1-0 lead and should have had more b4 half time,but 1-0 is never enough and sure enough
right after half time paulo headed an equaliser for them.we lost our way for the next 10mins and
it took a tremendous strike from aran leacock to put us back on track, mjr pushed forward and we missed more chances before adding the third goal late on.
mjr are a great set of lads and have done really well to turn around their horrendous start, they gave us a good test
and i'm sure they will improve as the season goes on and get the sucsess they deserve

Kyle - they lost Brownie to Oscars and I believe 1 or 2 other players. They did confirm to the league that they no longer had the players to compete in the higher leagues but unfortunate only got placed in Division 1 and will be struggling.

Frustrated to come away with nothing today. Mivan played very well and were impressed with 2-3 players. Was not happy with the free kick first half which Mivan scored from. To be penalised for a hand ball when your just two yards away is farcical. The Mivan player flicked it up and hit our player on the hand. There was no movement towards the ball. Mivan though went ahead which changed the game as we had to chase it leaving us exposed for the second goal. We managed to hit the bar twice again Really missed 4 players today including our keeper. Shud be at full strength next week.
Well done to Mivan you took your chances and were very strong at the back. Were my favourites for the league and that hasn't changed

( sorry Nugent but u got this one wrong :/ )

I was going to nip down to this game this morning but couldnt make it in the end!

sounds like a close game so dont write yourself off too much, some referees give it, some dont, thats football for you.

Agree with you about Mivan looking favorites tho, had some pretty hard opening fixtures and coming away with 10 points out of 12 then youd be stupid to disagree with that, which players were you impressed with from Mivan?

Still think the league will be between Mivan, Aylestone, White Eagles or Yourself though pal.

You missed a good match to be fair. Very close game and quite tense. Not an awful amount of chances for either side. Seems like we like to hit the bar too often lately! Mivan had a couple of White lads in the middle of the park who looked good and also one of the centre backs. I think it's a bit out of our reach now. Catching up already is not good so I count us out.

Agree with you pal, game was very tense and on a knife edge until the 90th min. I said to oe of your lads in te second half that i hate playing games like that lol. As a centre back being in that position is horrible. You have got some really good footballers in the squad especially the centre midfielder.. Quite stocky. Its still too early to rule yourself out pal, it is still a lon season. You boys have too much quality not to be in the top 4.

There's no chance you'll be near the foot of the table mate, your other results make it clear that yesterday was an off day, not helped by injuries. I do fear for you against Thurmaston though, they're bloody flying. You've got a sound group of lads so I genuinely hope you do well, except when you visit Knighton. All the best.

This Sunday will be the first match with our full squad available. We really missed Doyle on Sunday against you. Think he could of made a major difference. You coped well with everything we threw at you and was very impressed. Was disappointed we tested the cross bar more than your keeper.
Already quite a few points behind and I no after last years poor start that it can be hard chasing. Between you and eagles for me with aylestone and maybe royalist making the top 4!
