NATIONWIDE CONFERENCE
Att: 2749

RUSHDEN & DIAMONDS – 4  [Butterworth 5, Burgess 39, Peters 51, Lowe 83]
SUTTON UNITED – 0

Well, that’s more like it eh? Just 4 days after dumping ol’ Rushden out of the FA Trophy on their own patch, we return to eek out our now familiar 90 minute long 3-points-surrendering ceremony.

That’s Knackered It

FA TROPHY QUARTER FINAL
Att: 1586

Sutton United - 1   [Winston 12]
Rushden & Diamonds - 1  [Rodwell 13]

What a shit draw eh? The ONE side we said we DIDN’T want in this FA Trophy Quarter Final was Conference champions elect and massive moneybags, Rushden. So, who do we get. Rushden of course! Arse.

Rushden University of Football, Lesson Number 2 of 3.

FA CUP 4th QUALIFYING ROUND
Att: 2552

Rushden & Diamonds - 4 [McElhatton 11,45 Brady 13, Collins 74]
Sutton United – 1 [Rowlands 53]

So, we travelled to Rushden’s Nene Park stadium knowing that the chances of another good hiding at the hands of the biggest, richest club in all of the Conference was a distinct possibility. But more of that later.

NATIONWIDE CONFERENCE
Att: 1038

Sutton United - 0
Rushden & Diamonds - 4  [Collins 20,39 West 76 McElhatton 85]

Wasn’t too sure about missing this one, but a commitment made under the influence of alcohol a few weeks back meant I couldn't worm my way out of it without at the least incurring the wrath of a scorned woman or at worse losing bits of my anatomy I'm fairly fond of. And yes, I know, what sort of stupid bastard gets married 3 weeks into the footy season anyway?? What's the world coming to?
