CAPTAIN’S CORNER JACK EDWARDS
We get a break from league action this evening as we face St Ives Town for the right to
travel to National League giants Wrexham in the next round of the Buildbase FA Trophy on
Saturday. It’s a great carrot for both sets of players - places like The Racecourse Ground
are where you want to be stepping out in competitions like these, even if sadly there
will be no fans present. It has been so disappointing that you have not been able to
share in our good run with us - I’m pretty sure with all the late goals there would have
been some pitch invasions - not that I condone them, you understand!
Of course, I am getting ahead of myself a little, as if we want to face the Red Dragons (I don’t
know whether you’re aware, but Joe Clarke won the FA Trophy with them!) we have to avoid
complacency this evening when facing St Ives. Facing a lower ranked team in a cup competition
absolutely does not guarantee you progression to the next round. My former Brakes team mate
Nathan Hicks, who will be on the opposing side this evening, is as much evidence as we need on
that front, having been part of the Stamford side that knocked us out of the FA Cup a few years
back. We have suffered enough upsets to know that we have to be on top of our game throughout
tonight if we are to get through.
Enjoy the game, have a fantastic Christmas and fingers crossed we will see
you over Christmas!
