Time Lord’s Saturday BSP Review 2

Another week gone in the Blue Square Premier and the table is starting to show the early hitters and the early er, not very good teams!

Wins on Saturday therefore for AFC Wimbledon, Crawley Town, Barrow, Eastbourne, Luton, Hayes and Yeading and Mansfield.

We start at Fleetwood, where Luton stunned the hosts with a 3-0 victory. Barnes-Homer, whose name is starting to become very familiar in these pages on 14, Gnapka on 22 and Craddock on 88 the scorers. Luton remain the pacesetters of the League.

Eastbourne Boro are becoming the surprise team of this league, heavily scoring again as they did on Tuesday against Hayes. Going one up at home to Wrexham through Pacquette on 10, they then went 2-1 down with quick goals from Smith (15) and Andrews (20). Elphick however equalised on 44 before Weatherstone got a penalty converted on 52. Smith for Wrexham scored again in the 76th, before Weatherstone converted another penalty successfully in injury time. 4-3 the final result.

Creepy Crawley get their first win of the season away at Altrincham. Steve Evan`s men sealing the points through a 62th minute effort from Masterson.

Tamworth visited AFC Wimbledon and ended up back up the M1 with a 3-0 stuffing. Moore (37), Kedwell (60, 79) with the goals.

7 bookings at Barrow but it didn`t stop the home side picking up 3 points against Rushden and Diamonds. Walker with both goals in the second half, on 69 and a 76th penalty.

Mansfield Town saw themselves in early play off contention with a good win against another recent League side, Kidderminster. The Harriers did take the lead through Shaw`s 8th minute penalty, but 3 second half goals saw the points back to Nottinghamshire. Medley (54), Paul Connor again who couldn`t hit a barn door with a 4×4 last year (57) and Duffy (90).

Grimsby lose at home in the most one sided affair going. Two goals from Hand (19) and Pritchard (69) before Connell`s excellent consolation in the closing seconds.

Elsewhere, draws for Bath City and York at 2-2, Cambridge and Southport goal less, Forest Green and Gateshead sharing a goal apiece, Kettering and Darlington also goal less and a Beck less Histon away at Newport County sharing a 2-2 draw.
