Charscot welcomed Seabourne City
looking for a first ever win against Seabourne in our
league history.
City are having an excellent season and surprisingly went with a cautious line-up, which the hosts were hopeful of exploiting.
Charscot managed to make the most of it winning 1-0 courtesy of a Rivellino toe poke on 65 minutes and backed up by a clean sheet from Immel on his return from injury.
The win moved the team up to tenth place but a number of shock results meant the gap to the bottom 3 remained at 3 points.
Manager Rich Grove was delighted afterwards. "We really needed that win and beating a City side playing as well as they have this season is very satisfying. We have to now go to Long Eaton Archers and try to win again and hope for better results across the division."
In other news the manager confirmed he has been looking at a big change at the club. "With our defensive issues over recent seasons I have been looking into changing from an all bril defence to a specialist defenders lineup where the defence doesn't have great shooting. Unfortunately despite offering up 2 young all brils worth £ 35mill+ on the market the response has not been great".
"We had one brief interest from a manager who had a handful of players that fit the bill but seemingly only wanted to both have his cake and eat it by trying to offer lesser players, whilst another manager was determined to make offers for both but ultimately went quiet".
"At this point I may well see if deals are possible across our own clubs or just stay as is as it has become clear that getting swap deals with third parties has become much harder with managers getting too greedy or showing no interest in even considering swap deals. A shame but if that is the game now then they can have no complaints when I show no interest in swapping with them in the future" he stated grimly.
