Report:
Holcombe 4As proved again to be our bogey side this season.  After dropping 2 points to them pre-Christmas when being 4-2 up, we were up for this one.  Holcombe turned up this time with their normal 4As side, and the first half was very scrappy, generally low in quality, with plenty of mistakes by both sides.  Holcombe then were awarded a justified penalty, nearly saved by Jamie, at full stretch.

Kieron scored a fantastic goal in the second half, following some more direct play.  We were very unlucky not to score more, thwarted by a keeper who was at the top of his game.  However our lack of success in killing the game off when we should meant that Holcombe's young stars began to run at us with the ball, resulting in a shot hitting the post.

Next week we are away to Maidstone, 10.30 pushback, so pack the Red Bull lads.  A look at the league shows that they are top, and we have scored the second lowest number of goals!  Let's look to turn these statistics around!
