Sunday 3 February 2008 vs. Thurcroft Tornados (away)

Thurcroft! Not so far out into rural Rotherham, but it felt like we’d gone miles by the time we arrived there on yet another overcast, cold and windy afternoon. A quick look at the pitch revealed a typical February field that wasn’t very encouraging in terms of playing an accurate passing game.

The game had some exciting phases and some dour spells as we fought our way through a frustrating 2-2 draw. Despite conceding early on, we were on top for much of the game, particularly in the second half with the wind at our backs. We just couldn’t put away our chances! And a - doubtful, in my view - penalty against us was the icing on the cake on an afternoon that won’t linger in the memory.

Ollie got 'Man of the Match' from Neil, but, to be fair, everybody played their part without anyone really excelling.

I was impressed by the referee – Bob - who was strict, but fair and approachable (still disagree about the penalty though, Bob).

Two points dropped?
