Town v Winterton Rangers

Today i arrived at the ground at about 2:45pm just so i could get my food from the snack bar before kick off. Once i had paid my £6 entrance fee i was greeted by the usual friendly face of Phil Bonnett "Are you avin one" and he was accompanied by a six foot red heart shaking a bucket at me in fact almost shoving it down my throat "here here come on" mumbled the Heart, i later found out it was Wayne who sometimes helps with the car park and stewarding (not the brightest lad but he is doing a good job) and today he was doing a collection for the British heart foundation, both were lucky today as i had £2 spare in my pocket.
I got my programme and for some reason unknown it was all in black and white rather than the colour we had got used to and the reason we paid the extra 20p for it ? but it is a good read.
I was expecting a tricky game against Winterton Rangers and to be fair i felt they gave us a good game. A well worked move that went from left to the right and a delightful cross from Hogg to an unmarked Neil Towler headed home to make it one nil. Winterton were no mugs and created some good chances but our Defence was solid and dealt with everything thrown at them. Not long after our first goal we were awarded a free kick about 25/30 yards away from goal up stepped Ash Allanson and he smashed the ball through the wall and past the Winterton keeper to give us a two goal lead. further chances came from Wallace and Hogg but were denied by the keeper who made two very good saves.
In the second half it was pretty much the same as the first with Town creating some good chances and Winterton rarely troubling our defence although one scare came from Winterton but Mark Wilberforce made two excellent saves from close range and the towering figure of Carl Giblin made some key interceptions. The pitch had become very heavy due to the heavy rain and it was just cutting up making it hard for the players to run and pass the ball. A hard fought win and a step closer to the title finally it was good to see long term injured players back in the squad with the return of Danny Brunton and Danny Buttle.
