Boro have already taken three points from the away match at Emley back in September following an exciting 3-2 victory.
Emley are having mixed fortunes at the moment, their last game ended in a 4-0 defeat at home to Rainworth Miners Welfare, but only four days earlier they were at the other side of a 4-0 scoreline, defeating a decent looking Hall Road Rangers side by that very same score, previously to that was a 1-1 draw with Tadcaster Albion, three days prior to that result saw Emley lose 1-0 to table toppers Dinnington Town and finally in this short round-up, their game before the Dinnington defeat saw Emley beat Borrowash Athletic 5-2.
So, Emley have proved to be unpredictable and maybe should not be considered an easy match just because of our away victory. Let's hope for a good entertaining game and clear skies after all the rain over the past few weeks.
I will not be at the Emley match as I am away all weekend, so I am looking forward to the journey to South Yorkshire the following week as we travel to "top of the table" Dinnington Town.
We have not played Dinnington yet, they are in excellent form, they have won 12, drawn 4 and lost only 1 league match, they also have the best goal-difference record and their leading scorer "Ant Lynam" is not only the clubs leading scorer but also the leagues leading goalscorer. He has netted 20 goals so far, 12 at home and 8 away, so he will have to be closely watched, we do have an excellent defence and I am confident that he will not be given much time on the ball.
Dinnington actually had a rare defeat only last week, they were beaten 2-1 in the cup encounter against Bottesford Town, their website has a short match report which is titled "30 SECONDS OF MADNESS", It says how Dinnington were the far better side and after taking the lead in the 56th minute they remained confident and looked set to be worthy winners, but in the third minute of injury time came the 30 seconds of madness referrsed to in the report as Bottesford grabbed 2 goals to snatch a dramatic victory and send Dinnington crashing out of the competition.
4 day's later though normal "league" service was resumed as Dinnington took on Hall Road Rangers and both Ant Lynam and Simon Mirfin were on target with a goal each to give Dinnington a 2-0 victory.I have copied the directions to Dinnington F.C from their own website. SEE BELOW..........
