Puckering Dropping Faster Than Featherstone

Featherstone 4 Irregulars 1
The Irregulars, missing Knobbly Lyles, fell to ignominious defeat last Saturday and now need five points from four games to avoid expulsion from the league. Given Puckering's likely opponents next year, it doesn't take Alanis Morisette to see the irony in Knobbly's absence being due to a cub scout convention.

Without Lyles intimidating presence, Puckering were no match for Featherstone's light touch. Moving the ball around at will, their old but still magical midfielder, Joey Greaves, floated across several enticing crosses which were stroked with perfect ease by Featherstone’s main striker Frank Lambent.

For manager Walsham there some pleasure in the work of young striker Burstow, who scored again in this game. Bert pointed out that his youth policy was now be followed at the national level by Kevin Keegan. "Although we came away at the wrong end of this one we were in it until the end and I didn’t really think it was over until the referee blew the final whistle. Five points from four games does mean we need to win one though, to get us back on track, but the lads played their heart outs and you can’t ask for more than that."
