Excellent Result For You…Well Done…!
Great result, thought we had squanded another victory when they leveled. Jackson’s strike was excellent. should have been 4 or 5 with the chances we had. Ifill, White and Platt were excellent. The only bad points were not keeping a clean sheet and without Lisbie or Yeates there is not much pace in the team. We are staying up….!!!!!
