Diary - Monday 26 December 2005

26 December 2005

A 2-1 win at Bury lifts Town to within two points of Wycombe at the top of the fourth division, with the Mariners retaining the game in hand earned by the pre-Christmas postponement at Darlington. Despite another hard-working performance, regular goalscoring form continues to elude Michael Reddy, but two less likely candidates for the 20-goals-a-season striker role continue to add to their tallies as Gary 'The Lump' Jones nets his seventh this term to equalise an early strike from the Shakers' Danny Reet and Gary 'The Substitute' Cohen registers his sixth 15 minutes from time to wrap up the points and smuggle them back on to the team coach disguised as a consignment of flat-pack storage cabinets in birch veneer finish. Leyton Orient confirm their return to form with a 5-1 win over Rushden, keeping them level on points with GTFC, while new challengers Carlisle draw at Darlington and slip to fifth behind Northampton. Wycombe - who rescue a draw at Torquay after looking lost at 2-0 down - still look flaky as a Cadbury's Flake selection box. I think that's all correct anyway; if there's anything amiss you'll have to forgive me and blame it on the Guinness. The Diary is having a jolly nice Christmas, and I hope you are too. David Tennant, we salute you.
