Melton Town 1 Sleaford Town 1
On Saturday I met up with Neil Park in Melton Mowbray for Melton V Sleaford in the United Counties Premier League North. Both teams are safe but in the lower half of the table, so I wasn't expecting too much, which was just as well. At least the club house had a good selection of beers and we stopped off before and after at the Boat Inn in town that was a decent boozer. The first half was quite uneventful and ended 0-0 with neither club really threatening but Melton probably having the upper hand. In the second half it looked like Melton had snatched glory when Luther Mukanandafa scored in the 72 minute after just coming on to the pitch. It wasn't to be though as in the 86th minute Ben Ashall replicated what Mukanandafa had done by coming on and scoring after being on the pitch for only 4 minutes. A good day out, but not the best match ever!
