Midweek games 3rd March

Post by sussexdiamond »

Well here we go again. I just love these midweek games when we are not playing. You get the excitement of following scores on twitter and reveling in our opponents misery without the anxiety of your own team playing.
At the match on Saturday I spoke with a few people expressing this view and not all were in agreement, they preferred to wait until 10pm and then check all the scores. What do you reckon?

Anyway here goes:
Thurnby v Sileby........probably home win, but Sileby do now have the nomadic Mr Byrne who scored two on Saturday.
Yaxley v Wisbech.....that is definitely one to follow. At home this season Yaxley have beaten Diamonds, Holbeach and Thurnby. Are they capable of getting a point against a rampant Wisbech though?
Desboro v Holbeach. Just how great is the Holbeach slide? Anything less than 4-0 win will be a sign that they are truly a spent force. This will be Ar Tarns first game since our visit, so they will be looking to regain some credibility
The other games, of little significance to us:
Kempston v Huntingdon
Harboro v Cogenhoe
Harrowby v Boston

Pick of the crop is Yaxley v Wisbech isn't it? Might (work permitting) get over to that one, not too far to go, it's the only match that stimulates my interest this week (oooer matron) ;)

Rob Hughes, who was sent off on Saturday, has left Yaxley. He's been very influential for them over the last 3-4 years.

Yes Dave, should have said 'recent seasons'. Manager singing his praises, despite him missing that guilt edge chance at the Dog n' Duck. :o Appears he's going to have an extended break away from the game.

I agree, it would be nice if Yaxley took something out of the Wisbech game, (less pressure on us for the Wisbech at home then.) :D

YAXLEY LEAD 2-1

NOW 2-2 Another exciting evening at Yaxley. Hope it is a bit more quiet next Tuesday.

I see Yaxley home record is actually better than ours regarding points dropped. They have lost one and won all the others
