FOLLOWING the defeat to Guiseley on Tuesday, tomorrow (Saturday 28th) will be another vital step in Eastwood Town's determined pursuit of the UniBond Premier League title.
Our opponent in successive home fixtures will be Kendal Town whose recent resurgence has rekindled an ambition to participate in the promotion play-off competition.
Having failed to gain revenge for losing at Guiseley earlier in the season, tomorr
ow will see Eastwood again aim to prevent a ‘double’ being achieved, following defeat at Kendal earlier in the season.
Kick-off is 3pm.
Next Tuesday (March 31, 7.30pm) we are due at Rainworth Miners Welfare for our county Senior Cup quarter-final tie which will, of course, be played to a finish with extra-time and penalties if necessary.
The prospect of a rare home draw against Carlton Town in the semis should be a spur to retaining our long term custody of the handsome trophy.
Confusion at the original fixtures issue stage has bedevilled our Easter holiday commitments all season.
Let me again emphasise our first team programme - Good Friday (April 10) - Ilkeston Town v Eastwood Town (7.45pm). Easter Monday (April 13) - Eastwood Town v Frickley Athletic (3pm)
Our reserves kept up pressure on the top teams in the Midlands Regional Alliance Premier Division with a 5-1 home win over struggling Belper United last Saturday.
Tomorrow, Sam Ralph’s charges could have a harder task when visiting Holbrook St Michaels.
