Gilchrist was playing for AFC Hinckley yesterday.

Had a feeling it would end up being 0-0.

A dull first half, second half was better from us, I think we shaded the game, but didn't take our chances.

Was unlucky that Hicks?? shot didn't go in, which would have forced the opposition to give up their time wasting tactics. even one of their supporters was getting involved!! He refused to give Sam the ball, and when he did he threw the ball away from him!

Wasn't helped by inept officials once again, who let St Ives take the piss all afternoon.

First match of the season for me, pretty dire first half which had me worried we were not going to win.
The second half was better and we deserved a victory.
Diamond is a diamond, he had a good game, we were thwarted by their defence and negative approach to opening up the game. They were happier with the result than we were.
Onwards and upwards.
