Kings Lynn Chairman Short Of Cash?

Kings Lynn chairman Stephen Cleeve has said he needs £50,000 to pay the bills before the end of June.

And he wants supporters to help him out according to the Eastern Daily Press.

Manager Adam Lakeland said he had faith in the Chairman.

The paper reported that 'Cleeve says he needs £50,000 to pay the bills before the end of June and has asked fans to consider paying an extra £10 on top of the usual entrance fee for the Good Friday game at home to Scunthorpe.'

In his matchday programme notes for Saturday's game against Chorley, Cleeve said he has two deals worth £300,000 lined up for next season.  

“It was like this in January last year when we were bottom of the league and the chairman always finds a way and I have that trust in him," said Lakeland.

“I have nothing but respect and trust in the chairman. It's the reason why I came down here 20 months ago because he's a really good guy and he's always got the club's best interests at heart and he's put a lot of his own personal wealth into this club and he continues to do so, along with obviously (investor) Joe (Chua). So, he'll find a way because he always does.”  

National North Weekend Review

This review of last Saturday's games in the National North League from the National League.

Just one point separates the top three in the National League North after a dramatic day.

Leaders Scunthorpe United lost at Radcliffe, Matt Sargent inflicted a 90th minute defeat on the table toppers and all-but confirmed safety for Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley’s men.

Kidderminster Harriers salvaged a late point at Buxton through in-form Zak Brown.

Brackley Town were the day’s big winners, leaving South Shields with victory to go within a point of the leaders thanks to George Carline.

Jason Cowley earned Hereford a point in a thriller against Chester while King’s Lynn and Chorley fired blanks.

Stephen Walker scored a hat-trick for Scarborough at home to Marine as Curzon Ashton enhanced their play-off chances and all-but relegated Warrington Town. Isaac Sinclair hit the all-important goal.

Elsewhere there were wins for Peterborough Sports and Darlington.

After 90 Minutes At Edgar Street

There's nothing like a late goal at the Meadow End to keep supporters happy. And yesterday Jason Cowley's goal in added time was enough.

One Mistake Cost Us Said McIntyre

 

Chester manager Calum McIntyre, on the left, spoke about yesterday's game at Hereford. He felt that one mistake had cost his side the win he felt they deserved.

"An individual mistake at a massive moment in the game, right at the end," said McIntyre.

"Coming here is difficult, two proper football clubs, really good following from us, really good home crowd, going right the way at it, two teams trying to win the game.

"It's disappointing from our point of view that we were two and a half minutes away, we hadn't been under loads of pressure, goalkeeper hasn't had to make many saves, then a moment and an error.

"Big question mark, the referee has apologised for giving a corner for their first goal. I'm fed up with hearing it. It was the same at Chorley. At least we were told on the Saturday not the Monday.

"I don't like calling for bookings but should they have eleven on the pitch? I thought the withdrawal of their player (D'Ath) on a yellow card ten seasons after he made, not like a bad tackle but probably a second bookable, then we would be playing the game for an hour against ten men.

"Easy to whinge when you don't win a game, we made a mistake right at the end which has probably cost us two points."

McIntyre also had a quick word with BN.

He said he felt a point from the game was more important for Hereford then Chester given their positions in the table.

Hereford needed the point to try and keep in the play-off positions whereas Chester are almost there.

Match Report Hereford v Kingfisher

This match was seen as the toughest yet, undoubtably the two teams that will fill the top two spots come the end of the season.

Hereford started steady, keeping the ball nicely but not really breaking the Kingfisher back line, who themselves looked confident going forward

It was Kingfisher who broke the deadlock on 13 minutes when a corner floated into the box seemingly passing through the Hereford keepers out stretched arms and into the back of the net.

This fired Hereford into life, Sheree Smith finding an equaliser within a minute, a low strike beating the keeper in the bottom corner. 

The midfield were now wining most of the duels, great work from Molly Powis on the edge of the box sending  Millie Griffiths through to make 2-1 ( 36 minutes). 

On 41 minutes Sheree Smith rounded the outrushing keeper to make it 3-1. 

Kingfisher had a player sin binned shortly after so finished the half with ten players.

HT Hereford 3-1 Kingfisher

The second half saw Hereford have total control, passing the ball around their opponents with ease and creating some fine chances, one of which Emily Ewing finished on 54 minutes.

Coach Heather Martin made several changes, but this didn’t break up Hereford's dominance, Kingfisher unable to unlock the Hereford back line

FT Hereford 4-1 Kingfisher

Another huge step closer to promotion, Hereford being the only team in the top four to win today. It should make Hereford firm favourites for the title, but with nine games remaining there’s still plenty of points to play for.

League Table:

1 - Hereford 19/52

2 - Ross Juniors 23/52

3 - Kingfisher 20/48

4 - Kidderminster 22/47

Good Point But Not Great Performance Said Caddis

Hereford manager Paul Caddis spoke to the local media after yesterday's 2-2 draw with Chester. Whilst the point keeps Hereford in a play-off position, several other games were drawn around them, he admitted the performance wasn't great.

"It's a good point," said Caddis.

"Performance wise I'm not going to stand here and try and kid people on, there were 4,000 people in the stadium, I'm not going to talk rubbish to them.

"I didn't think we were great to be brutally honest but when you're not great especially this time of year, if you can't win make sure you don't loose.

"Four games to go and we're still here.

"The boys are desperate to do well for the supporters. They were taking after the game about the magnificent support, the numbers. Sometimes too desperate and it showed at times.

"I thought we were a bit nearvy at times and desperate to play forward very quickly but we got a point.

"You have to give them credit they are a good side, three weeks ago they were on top of the division. They've got a lot of depth, a lot of strength and a good manager.

"A good point in the end."

A lot of incidents in the game including several possible penalties.

"Tate Campbell I don't think was a penalty so if it's not a penalty book him. Jaiden White was a two handed push in the box. If you don't give a penalty, you can't give the foul against Matt Preston at the end for a two handed push at the edge of the box.

"I don't understand why they seem to referee differently in the box to out of the box.

"It's green grass, it's a football match.

"I thought he got quite a lot wrong for both teams. I think the corner we scored from for the first goal wasn't a corner.

"I think the foul from Babos for their first goal wasn't a foul.

"First two goals two mistakes from the referee but on our side we disappointed with the manner of the goal."

D'Ath was subbed in the first half having been shown a yellow card.

"I thought there was a bit of pressure from them, we would probably do the same, to try and get him send off. So one more and I was told he would be off the pitch so we had to act.

"I don't like taking people off in the first half but Lawson is an experienced player  and totally understood."

Before Kick-Off Hereford v Chester
