15 October 2005

After a week spent languishing in the unaccustomed depths of second place, the Mariners are back on top of the fourth division for at least another few days. Unreciprocated goals from Paul Bolland, Michael Reddy and Gary Cohen gave a slightly flattering look to what was nevertheless a classic soak-it-up-and-dish-it-back-out away win at Cheltenham last night, restoring Town to first place: a position Wycombe surprisingly spurned the chance to reclaim this afternoon by recording only a 0-0 draw at home to Rushden. Rochdale's 3-0 win over Notts County today brings them level with the Chairboys on 26 points, one behind the Mariners and one ahead of fourth-placed Leyton Orient - next week's visitors to Blundell Park - who could only draw 1-1 at home to Lincoln today. There is a word for combinations of results such as these, and that word is 'yay!'.
