Bank Holiday Monday match details

<BUMP> Enjoy Easter Sunday - then all to play for on Monday.

With Rugby playing Gresley on Monday our time out of the bottom two may be shortlived, but I'm confident we will give Harborough plenty to think about, and who knows we may even spring a shock.

Harborough have literally been scraping wins recently with 90th minute wins and keft it late against Coleshill today. Surely this will come to an end soon but then again that'd what teams near the top do

<BUMP> Matchday!

So, not lost in at least five then?

Let's just hope that Harborough are having what cricketers know as "the nervous nineties," ie when the goal of a century is in sight a batsman might have a wee bit of a mental wobble. Harborough Town is getting close to the title and we can perhaps hope to exploit a similar thing. I have no doubt their coaching staff will slap them about a bit and tell them to pull themselves together but our guys still have to try and wrangle a point out of them...

Well from a personal point of view, I've been looking forward to this one all season, the first ever RDFC or AFC game I have been able to walk to with Harborough being my local club. But from a footballing point of view, we do have a mammoth task on our hands to get anything out of this one as we know how good they are and they have Tendai Daire who has torn apart this leagur this year.

But the fact they went behind and needed a late goal to beat a team we not long ago beat 4-0 and their mixed form does give me some hope, if we can't get a point, hopefully we can at least not disgrace ourselves and let our GD advantage slip again. Come on you whites!

I’m going into the game with a positive mindset hoping for some points, with that said, if we come away with a narrow loss at least our GD won’t be in too much trouble yet.

We need lots of singing today, get behind the lads!! Come on Rushden!
