Well done to the Reserves who beat Gainsborough Town today 2-0 in the Cup. Although not at their best, the Pilgrim's second string secured the win with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes after missing a penalty. What can I say about Gainsborough? They turned up late with just 9 men - Referee Wheeler very generously allowing the game itself to start 10 mins late - with 2 others turning up during the first half and no subs whatsoever. Their young vocal manager did not help Gainsborough's cause, spending most of the time texting on his mobile phone and the remaining time verbally abusing the officials. In the end thankfully the right team went through. Sadly, the Lincolnshire League may have a number of withdrawals prior to the season end. I have heard rumours that Grantham Athletic (player unavailability) could be leaving the Lincolnshire League shortly. In addition, it looks that CGB Humbertherm are also struggling to raise a team at the moment due to player availability problems and Grimsby Borough Reserves facilities have been deemed as not currently meeting League requirements. I hope that this is not the case, but I see that the League "postponed" Grantham's and Humbertherm's schedule fixtures for today. If any of these clubs do withdraw, I expect that the League will be forced to do necessary adjustments of points from which BUFC Reserves are unlikely to benefit!
