The stadium has a Roman name, the recent form of Cirencester and the chance to advance further on the league leaders was inspiration enough for the local boys to give equally as good as they got. The Waders felt a little disappointment after the game, Cirencester down to ten men for the last twenty five minutes, the Waders were unable to capitalise but that is so often the way when a team are a man short. Before the game coming home with a point would have been more than acceptable.

Biggleswade have never played at the Corinium stadium before and a mighty game was to unfold before our very eyes. It was very much an even game for the first twenty but with the Waders lifting the tempo started to frighten the"centurions" as Cirencester like to be called. Twenty four minutes in, with Greg Morgan and Conner Roberts performing well on the right side, the ball came to the box with favourite son Jon Woolf free to half volley a shot that took a "slight" deflection to beat the keeper. Certainly a body blow for Cirencester who have made winning a habit of late. Tempers were certainly jaded and it took the man in the middle all his best endeavours to keep control of a boiling pot. Half time came with Biggleswade still one to the good and the Cirencester players incensed about what, I never found out.

The pot boiled on in the second half, most of the play centred around Jon Woolf who was proving to be the Achilles heel for the centurions. A very rash tackle saw Woolf laying prostrate and Gethin Jones having first hit at the shower gel. Cirencester upped the game, the man short a catalyst for some power play. Our man saved a certain goal, the ricochet cleared by Cam Mawer, how they kept the ball out defies logic. Cirencester were always going to score as they pushed back Biggleswade deeper and deeper. On seventy three a free kick coming in was met by Nat Jarvis to power the ball into the net. At one all Cirencester could smell blood and pushed and pushed. The Waders remained calm although I can't same the same for the few faithful that had made the trip. Relief and a point at the final whistle. A job well done by Biggleswade Town.
