MELKSHAM TOWN hosted Larkhall Athletic on Saturday 27th January and went into the game decimated by injuries and suspensions with Jack Carter (injured), captain Sam Hendy (injured), Harvey Woods (injured), David Thompson (suspended) and Ralph Graham (suspended).
And did it show, reports club chairman Darren Perrin. The Town were outfought and outclassed throughout the 90 minutes and suffered a heavy 1 – 5 defeat with the Town scoring a consolation goal through Benjani Jnr. The Town can have no complaints regarding the result.
The manager and the players would like to apologise for the performance but it is vitally important the directors and supporters rally round and try to lift the lads whose confidence has certainly been hit these last couple of weeks. It may take a couple more games to sort it out but we will; sometimes in adversity these set-backs make you stronger as a unit.
The development team played Warminster Town Reserves away on Saturday 27th January and had a great 3-0 win thanks to a Jake Dodge hat-trick.
In the next week or so, the Town will be letting people know more about their Golf Day at Cumberwell Park; a great day guaranteed. We will also be running another Sportsman evening probably in May and we will be showing all the England fixtures in the Sky Bar during the summer. Also, in the next few weeks we will be able to announce our Home pre-season friendlies.
The previous weekend’s fixture was called off due to a frozen pitch
