BSMFC MANAGERS NOTES

Good afternoon. We’d like to start today’s programme notes by extending a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Rothwell Corinthians who are the visitors to the Sett for today’s United Counties Premier Division South fixture.

Despite their league position Rothwell Corinthians should not and will not be underestimated today, they are a team fighting for survival which is highlighted by their recent results; in fact, they go into todays game on a 3-match unbeaten run including a win in mid-week against GNG Oadby last time out, a result that moves them within touching distance of those above them in the table.

As we have been saying our recent run of fixtures has been tough. We haven’t picked up the points that we would have liked however with 3 games in the next 7 days its time to start picking up points again, hopefully that starts today.

There was some good news on the injury front last week as Will Jones returned to the match day squad. Unfortunately, it’s been an injury disrupted season for Will, we are hopeful that he can stay fit between now and the end of the season as his goals will be important as we look to climb the table.

Also, on the injury front we are hoping that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel for Tom Binder who had his operation last week. The Op went well so we hope that he can finally put the past 7 months behind him and get back to playing football sooner rather than later. It hasn’t gone unnoticed that he has hardly missed a training session or match day despite not being able to play.

Another positive is the return of Benny Drinkwater who has re-signed for the club this week, we hope that he can provide a positive contribution between now and the end of the season.

Finally, huge congratulations to the ‘B’ Team who have made it through to another semi-final!

Best of luck for today’s game at Brixworth and next weeks at Milton in the County Cup.

As always thank you for your support, enjoy the game and we look forward to seeing you again next Saturday when we host Rothwell Corinthians at the Sett.

Dale & Daniel
