Mellings, Bishop, Lee, King, Burgess, Edwards, Hicks (O'Grady), Confue, Bellingham (Taylor), Hendrie (Cross), Milligan.

Town again without the influential Parkinson deserved a draw from this game at least, however it was not to be and Silvestri scored from a header in the 38th minute and Town could not find a way through a defence well marshalled by Cunningham.

Town produced very little in the way of clear cut opportunities in the first half, Milligan did well in closing the ball down just outside the area and found himself in a shooting opportunity which he blazed just wide. Later Leighton's Simpson went through and Mellings blocked his shot and the follow on went wide. Town were getting down their right but every ball that went in was cleared by Deaton and Cunningham. Later in the half Lee went through and had a good shot saved. We did have a call for a penaly but it wasn't given as we worked hard to get back in the game. Three second half substitutes replacing Bellingham, Hendrie and Hicks saw Cross, Taylor and O'Grady add a bit more life and we nearly drew level when Milligan once again broke through and his shot was tipped on to the post, then the ball hit the other post and was cleared. Town pushed up and in the final seconds Confue header hit the top of the ball and went for a goal kick. Leighton did have further chances in the second half and could have been 2-0 before our late fightback.

Our next game is against Rugby Town in the Red Insure Cup on Tuesday in Rugby.
