Hucknall Town 1 Retford United 4

Unibond Premier Division

Saturday October 31st

Retford United travelled to the other end of Nottinghamshire to face a Hucknall Town side who were coming to the end of a rocky week. It is pretty much a lcoal derby, but such is the apathy amongst both sets of fans, coupled with the lack of any meaningful meetings prior to this, that it was really just a run of the mill game. Retford picked the same team who had surrendered so meekly the previous Tuesda...

Tuesday 27th October

Yet again, an inability to trouble the onion bag proved to be Retford United's undoing. As with the match on Saturday, enough chances were created in the first half alone to put the game to bed, yet the misfiring Godber and Harvey, normally so reliable, repeatedly failed to bring saves out of the visiting keeper, let alone put the PA guy to use. Add to their woes the fact that the back up artistes i...

Retford United 2 Ossett Town 2

Unibond Premier Division

Sat 24th Oct

Honestly, I don't know what to write about this game. Retford United played some of their best football for a fair while, but yet again reluctant strikers and fortuatous defending served to keep the game within grasp of the visitors, before Ossett Town rode their luck into the sunset with a goal gift-wrapped by a series of inept defending. And the the end, it was only a suspect offside decision that left Retford gr...

Saturday 10th October

I don't really know what to say about today. The drive up was nice enough, although I wasn't able to try the King's Arms as intended. If anyone can explain the horses wandering around Heath Common though, I would be hugely appreciative.

Marine boss Kevin Lynch says he is now starting to see the fighting spirit in his side he has longed for.

The Mariners battled to an impressive 1-0 win at Retford United on Saturday to give Lynch’s men a third consecutive win.

Three points in Nottinghamshire catapulted the Whites to eighth in the UniBond Premier Division table though midweek results elsewhere means they now lie in 11th.

Lynch said: “It was really pleasing to keep a clean sheet in the win at Retford. Of late we have be...

Kevin Lynch's side are moored in mid-table, with five wins, seven defeats and just one draw.

In contrast, Town have shared the spoils on five occasions.

Most of Marine's wins can be attributed to runaway leading goalscorer Jamie Rainford, who has already netted 11 times in 13 league matches.

The Blues will again be without...

He gave a blunt assessment about the 5-2 loss in the Unibond Premier Division, agreeing that it was probably the worst Matlock performance since his arrival at Causeway Lane just over ten months ago and hinted that some of the squad might have tested his patience a little too much.

‘‘It was in all probability the worst pe...

Buxton 0 Boston United 1
Unibond Premier Division
Monday Oct 5th

Silverlands is an odd place. It manages to combine the charm of rustic old school stadia, with a couple of fairly impossing stands, all the while making you think of what could be. No doubt the infrastructure is in place for a succesful team. On nights like tonight, one can see the potential.  The stadium has a capacity of 5000+, so the 350-odd hardy souls who braved the first wooly hat evening of the season were fair...
