Firstly, great result and performance. Midfield were exceptional and McBride was rightly MOM. Hopefully Taylor isn't too badly injured.

Attendance was superb. I thought the attendance would be decent but didn't actually think we'd break the record. Let's hope this translates into 1000+ home gates!

Oadby have drawn 0-0 at home to Bourne which is great news for us, although sadly their goal difference is better than ours. Harrowby beat managerless Buckingham Town 6-0 at Buckingham so they must be appalling.

What a fantastic day. Local football for local people with sensible rules at a sensible price = good crowds. Whilst Kettrin were humiliated in front of a paltry crowd at NP, a record attendance for the UCL Div 1 basked in the glorious early autumn sunshine, loads of beer being drunk throughout the game, 1 or 2 stewards, no old bill, an immaculate minutes silence, well behaved, good natured fans, a good game of football and a great result. Thanks to all at R&H for a warm welcome and they displayed sportsmanship and integrity in defeat unlike some.......

Ref was still crap though but some things never change !!!

.
I agree with this also. He's getting better with every game and seems to knick balls where he looks second favourite. A tough tackler for someone who looks so slight!

One player I didn't really register at the start of the season but has really stood out in the last couple of weeks - Sam Brown - bloody good player in my book.

I said something similar to my old man today. We were told when he signed that he was a good player and he's proven it, he looks a cut above at this level.

Joe Merril is also exceptional, and what a goal today! He should be playing a lot lot higher.

He was threatening to do that after that one hit the bar against Thrapston. Think he earned his midfield start after his performance last week
