Diary - Saturday 5 April 2003

5 April 2003

The Diary is forced to pull out of a journey to Leicester after succumbing to severe headaches and seeing weird bright colours floating around the room, and this time it wasn't the beer. Weird, eh. Anyway, the Foxes stroll to a 2-0 win over Town courtesy of second-half goals from Trevor Benjamin and Callum Davidson. The Mariners' new loan signing Michael Keane lines up in midfield and Michael Boulding returns to the fray as a substitute, but to little avail as this one goes with the form book.

The bottom four in the first division have diverged a little after this weekend's results. Brighton now lie two points clear in the escape pod following an excellent 2-1 win over Reading last night, while the Wednesday lot chalk up a dismayingly impressive 4-2 win over Franchise FC this afternoon, and Stoke take a point at home to Gillingham. The Sheffield club remain two points adrift of Town at the bottom, while Stoke in 22nd place inch a point ahead of the Mariners.

Elsewhere in Division One Burnley probably set some kind of record with their second 11-goal thriller of the season, their 6-5 defeat at Blundell Park in October being matched by a slightly less even balanced but no less remarkable 7-4 home defeat to Watford. Flipping 'eck, Tucker!
