The Mighty Shrimpers travelled to the Biscuit Stadium, Warsaw, for this 3 pointer. The home side were sitting third and in form, the Blues middly-diddly and in fiddly form. There’s a big shock when Digger Deegan appears with a surgically lengthened chin. 400 plus Shrimpers cheer on the Blues.
First Half and an immediate scare with a far post cross just evading everybody. Blues reply with good possession. Wozza cross onto Barney’s head, saved. Henry Hoover shoots just wide for Warsaw. A bit of pressure from the Soddlers, Blues defence holds firm. Bents good save, shot just over. Digger clears off the line, three great saves from Bents. Blues under mega pressure and Browntrout changes to 4-2-4. Blues see out the half.
Halftime 0-0
Second Half and more pressure from Warsaw, Bents saves again. Blues struggling to get out of their half. McQ on for McLaugh-in, shot by Digger, great save. Hursty comes on for Big Willy Atko, 78 mins, can Blues get a point? Digger eventually booked for chin-shine glare. Payney pass, Hursty shot saved. Close one as Warsaw hit side netting. Loza on for Barney who’s worked hard. Bentley – great save! 88 mins disaster, header from corner off the bar and over the line, 1-0 Warsaw. Gutted! Bents another great save saves two-nil. Adam Barrett shot – good save.
Fulltime 0-1
