How we did not get a hatful against Stourport Swifts I do not know, as we witnessed the ball whizzing past the wrong side of the post time and again.
In the end we secured only one point and dropped to 12th place. Danny Bloomfield made his home debut and impressed me. He seems to have quickly built up an understanding with Kevin Hawes and this could be so important during the course of the remainder of the season.
Six minutes before the break the Swifts took the lead and it was not until five minutes before the end and after three substitutions had been made by us that Richard Howell was able to equalise, when he sent in a shot which somehow evaded their keeper.
On Saturday, we travel to fourth-placed Chasetown against whom we put in one of our best displays of the season to gain a 2-0 home victory. We then have two home games on Tuesday, March 24, and Saturday, March 28, against Bedworth United and Romulus respectively.
Our Reserves had no fixture last weekend, and travel to FC Clacton this Saturday in the Chell Trophy with their next home game being on Wednesday, March 25, against league leaders Tiptree United.

The club committee has decided to apply to the FA for approval to make a lateral move back to the Ryman League. This clearly is a logical step, both from the players' and the supporters' point of view and we should know our fate on about May 14, when the various contributory leagues meet but, if commonsense does not prevail, it is our intention to appeal directly to the FA.
