----------

In difficult circumstances not of our own making we defied the odds and went into a 2.0 lead. The lads gave us 100% commitment and can’t be faulted for their effort. I am unable to discuss on here the issues relating to the sending offs but will say they were very harsh, but proud of the lads for their effort today in difficult circumstances.

All goals and times mentioned at top of post.

Next up Stowmarket Town away in the 1st Division knock out cup – 1st Round on Tuesday.

Yesterday was the first day our Reserves had their pen pics in an away programme. If your photo has been taken but you were not in yesterday's programme, unfortunately due to deadlines in getting these to the away club, you will appear after Stowmarket & March away, with the help of our historian he is writing a club history for the Reserves, this will mean we won't need to send a first team history but a history of the Reserves which relates to our side. Again this won't appear until after Stowmarket & March away due to printing deadlines.

Thank you, Mark.
