We travel to face Melton Town at the weekend after a somewhat feisty match last weekend against Skegness Town. Speaking of that match Manager Tris Whitman was pleased with the point and clean sheet.

"This was a very physical match that was constantly disrupted through stoppages. We made a number of changes from the game against Basford on Wednesday which allowed players the opportunity to play. Skegness set the tone for the game from the kick off with a number of late tackles and constant negative interactions with the officials. This saw them go down to ten men after just 8 minutes when a scuffle in the box resulted in their player being shown a red card for a head butt on Aaron lamb. From that point on we really struggled to find any rhythm to our game and were especially sloppy in possession. On the few occasions we moved the ball quickly, we threatened to break through but never really created any clear chances.

"Overall a frustrating game and Skegness will probably be the happier of the two teams. However, it was another clean sheet and point and although we weren’t at our best we did control the game for large parts".

This Saturday we travel to Sign Right Park and take on mid table Melton Town in the UCL Premier Division North and Whitman will be looking for an improved performance in order to pull further away from the pack behind us in the league.

"This week we train on Tuesday in preparation for Saturdays away game at Melton. Where we once again have a large squad, so team selection will be tough".
