Sandridge Rovers February 14th 2007

So it was back to the relative comfort and homely surroundings of the Rose & Crown and without a win in the last two matches pressure was beginning to mount and what many regarded as a home banker had now turned into a must win game for the home side.
Under strength in recent weeks due to the unexplained absence of Neil “The Dude” Crosby, who had not been seen since yet another defeat at the hands of Kim Wiffen, The Rose & Crown had it all to do. But once again Tom Wilson and Tony Scott and Paul Mullins and John Goode provided the springboard from which the home side could launch it’s recovery and after going in three – one ahead after the doubles the game was there for the taking.
It was left up to Tony Scott to seal a well earned victory in a match that was not without controversy, gamesmanship and bad sporting conduct.
