LATE AGAIN

Yeltz 1 Solihull 0 07/02/2004

The mighty Yeltz gained another important three points when they snatched a late victory over rivals Solihull Borough through an 88th minute own goal. Full details in Dave's match report.

Tuesday brings Walsall to The Grove in the Birmingham Senior Cup Quarter Finals, before on Saturday we finish our epic run of eight home games on the trot when Gloucester are the visitors.

WHOOPS

BSC: Yeltz 0 Walsall 7 10/02/2004

I think we'll gloss over this defeat as quickly as possible - other than to say you can read the full horror story in Dave's match report.

We're back to much more important matters on Saturday when Gloucester visit The Grove in yet another important game. They're one place and one point above us at the moment having played one game more, so let's hope for another three points to keep us right in contention.

LOVE ALL

Yeltz 0 Gloucester 0 14/02/2004

The mighty Yeltz shared the points with promotion rivals Gloucester after a 0-0 draw at The Grove. Despite a much better performance than the midweek blip, we couldn't breach the Gloucester defence but both teams will be reasonably happy with the result.

We're back down to 5th in the table, but it was a pretty good day elsewhere with Redditch losing to Sutton Coldfield and Rugby losing to Stourport.

We start our epic run of away games next Saturday with a trip to Bedworth, where I think we must pick up all three points to keep in the hunt for the top spot.

GRINDING IT OUT

Bedworth 0 Yeltz 1 21/02/2004

The mighty Yeltz kept themselves in the title race on Saturday with a crucial 1-0 victory away to struggling Bedworth. A second-half goal from Simon Hollis kept us in touch with leaders Redditch, who came back from two down to beat second placed Rugby 3-2.

This week brings another set of away games - on Tuesday we travel to Shepshed, and then on Saturday we visit old rivals Rugby. Both games are very important, and if we can gain six points then I think we've really got a chance of challenging at the top. Come on!

DRAW AGAIN

Shepshed 2 Yeltz 2 24/02/2004

The mighty Yeltz again failed to beat struggling Shepshed, and missed out on a chance to significantly close the gap on leaders Redditch.

We took the lead in the first half through Forsdick, but they soon equalised and then took the lead halfway through the second half, before Alfie Carter got a late equaliser. It's moved us up to 3rd in the table, but 12 points behind the leaders with only two games in hand now.

Saturday takes us to second placed Rugby United in a crucial game at the top of the league. Redditch won here last week, so I suspect if we're going to catch them we're going to have to do the same. However, we've done well against the top teams this season, so let's hope we can do it.

UNSETTLED

Rugby 1 Yeltz 0 28/02/2004

The mighty Yeltz are looking a lot less likely to challenge for the league title after losing 1-0 to second-placed Rugby. It was a pretty disappointing display, even though we probably had the better of a poor game without really threatening until the last few minutes. With Redditch winning again we're a long way behind now even if we do win our games in hand.

Not being a regular at the games it's often difficult for me to comment, but watching yesterday was very frustrating. We don't have a settled nucleus of a team, and this is bound to show when we need to pull together in situations like yesterday. However good some of these temporary signings are, they're not really going to give absolutely everything if they're just playing to get fit or waiting for something better to turn up. Obviously just one not very informed person's opinion though.

Anyway we've got the irrelevant Worcester Senior Cup on Monday, before visiting Gresley next week in the league. With the FA now ratifying the Conference Division One for next season, we need to continue our steady run of form to ensure we finish in the top seven to get into one of the leagues below the new divisions.
