Diary - Saturday 13 May 2006

13 May 2006

The magnificent Jones the Lump is Town's hero once again, registering his 16th goal of the season as the side takes a one-nil advantage in the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Lincoln. The sturdy but skilful frontman finished a splendid passing move midway through the first half, firing the Mariners to a first win at Sincil Bank for nearly half a century, thanks also to some uniformly solid performances at the back - including that of Fen Butcher, deputising for Jones the Stick, whose missus went into labour overnight - not to mention a commanding display in midfield from Paul Bolland and a great showing on the left wing from Andy Parkinson. The Diary feels rather giddy, and may well spend the evening taking liquor.
