The devils took to the road again to play their nearest rivals for top spot in the pennant league, Sleaford. Despite the caravan of the Ianson family jackknifing on the Mansfield by-pass and creating a two vehicle tailback the journey only took an hour and fifteen minutes. Having arrived in plenty of time the devils took the time to prepare for battle and went through the smoothest warm up off the season. The hunger for victory was in evidence in all members of the squad and this was to be proven with devils now trade marked fifth or sixth opening minute score of the season. The kickoff was taken and a maul formed, the formation of players moved swiftly up the pitch. From the resulting scrum a Sleaford kick was charged down and scrum half ‘you can call him Al Poyser’ touched down.
The hosts replied with a kick through that bounced around and came to settle in the path of their winger; with a fly hack on he managed to collect the ball a flop over the line to score.
With having had the best of the half Derby took the advantage with a Wigley penalty from in front of the posts. But then disaster stuck two yellow cards in the space of a minute just before the halftime whistle was to mean 15 versus 13.
Halftime and only 8-7 up with two men in the bin, the second half looked like it was going to be an uphill battle. However the six man pack proved beyond question that Lincolnshire has no hills as in fact very flat.
The first ten minutes saw the mighty dev’s settle in their opponents half like a Romanian migrant looking for farming job. Eventually the sundial moved round so our two missing players returned to the ranks, this return to full capacity proved to be the catalyst for the second try, all the pressure finally paying off with an overlap being created for wing Alex Clarke to score to the right of the posts.
The travelers then slowed the game down and defended, when necessary, in a firm controlled manner. A quickly taken lineout was to provide the final score in the corner for Poyser’s second try of the day.
Delight for the devils, 3 points in the bag and their last away league fixture of the season was completed.
Today’s garage review is from Mr. Joe Mills of Oakwood, Derby he reported ‘Today we called in on the Total Service Station on the A17 and A46 roundabout near Newark. To be found was an Aladdin’s cave with a wide range of goods from wines, beers and spirits to your more traditional sandwich’s and confectionery. To the rear this station had its very own seating area to enjoy you meal of choice, this was adjacent to the delicatessen section where you could pick your favorite hot snack. An impressive array of outdoor goods where on show to cover every thinkable traveling, camping and walking need.
Overall I think the name says everything and this is a total station, I would rate this station on my pastry scale as a cream horn and possibly declare it as the best I have ever visited in the United Kingdom’

It was at our place, looking at their site, they have had injury issues like we did earlier in the season, do not expect them to travel to you, with it being an international weekend too. |

Being a detester of Sleaford, good to see you beat them! The Kesteven 2nds game was cancelled due to Southwell not fielding a side. Not as if we would be challenging you anyway for top-spoT ! |
