The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Job done - easier than the score line suggested to be fair.

Be fun to pip Wisbech twice wouldn't it? ;)

153 there to see it - we move on to Saturday, which in the wider context is far more important than tonight.

Sam Donohue is the Berwick clone on the bench - he scored on his debut for the U21s on Saturday.

Joe Akroyd appears to play at right back for the U21s (he is from the U18 side).

Joe actually plays central midfield for the u18's who have two massive games in two days. Top of the table clash against Thomas Beckett tomorrow before facing Whitworths in the Semi-Final of the David Joyce Cup. (Sorry to go off topic!!)

Nope, Olney

Wisbech on Tue 31st March, one of 8 home games left from 10 (possibly an 11th at a venue to be advised) see Alfie almost did it last night, got both Cogenhoe goals in normal time and scored his Pen in the shoot out, only for Danny Harmon to be 1 of 2 to miss.
Couldn`t get excited about last night prior to the game, but ended up a decent game, and a good run out for some who have been short on game time. Front 3/4/5 did well, great play from Turns in the build up and good finish from Scotty. Couple of late saves from Finners in a game that should have been all over by the 60th minute.
Well done also to the 2 young lads who came on, both looked sharp and confident on the ball.
Back to the main business now on Sat and 3 pts nearer step 4.

Do you know something DC or are you just having a senior moment???

I know lots of things, where the KO Cup Final is to be held isn't one of them.

It's doubtful that the UCL won't know that until after the event.

On a serious note is the SF likely to be switched to a Saturday given the distance, same could apply to the other SF.

Both semi's are on UCL fixtures page as 28th Potton v Lutterworth and 31st AFC Diamonds v Wisbech.

I think it would be too much for the fixtures sec to mess around with dates now.

If we get to final my guess is it will be played at one of the Peterboro grounds if Potton or Harborough if Lutterworth on 2nd May.

With his MOM last night, Liam Dolman takes back sole possession of first place for most MOM's in a single season (7).

Mal's pics are added to Paul's Match Report, with more at http://malcolmswindenphotography.instaproofs.com/store/

The various player profiles and stats pages are also updated - as ever see the bottom of the match report for links to these.

I see that the Semi vs. Wisbech is scheduled for Tuesday 31st march at home. Possibly the best date we could have it as we don't want to play too close to the end of the season
