POSTPONED WATERLOGGED PITCH

let's hope we don't get too much rain between now and then, give the pitch a chance to recover.

A must win if there ever was one.

There really is no two ways about it, Cambridge City & Coleshill Town are 2 fixtures out of the 11 games left that we have to get 6 points from. Win this weekend, carry the momentum into Coleshill, grab 6 points and go on another unbeaten run from there. Rugby have Coleshill at home this weekend,which I expect them to win, and then they have Anstey away the following week, which they should hopefully lose. If we can get two wins on the bounce and take that positivity into the Tuesday night home game against Quorn, we will have a great chance for 9 points out of 9, which would bring us level with Rugby. In reality though, 6 points out of those 9, if you offered me it now, I would take it no questions asked.

Been raining overnight and all day so far, rain is also forecast for tomorrow and with the pitch presumably already holding water tyen I would imagine this game must also be a big doubt. A sunny day on Friday and Saturday is all we can Hope for

Call it off now. Pitch will need a week dry and sunny to get the pitch playable and not destroyed for the rest of the season

No great surprise this is off, rain has been heavy this week.

Shame we had no game of course, but Gresley also called off and Rugby lost in a game that they really would have wanted to get something from, so 6 points adrift, but now with two games in hand, Project 18th is still very much on!

It's in our hands, which in mid February - I never thought I would say.
