Please see the original article (1st March) for background.
Another week gone and alas no matches for the OW 1s in their fight for survival. However, two of our drop rivals were putting their bid in against tough opposition.
Thankfully, they both turned up like Aston Villa did in Manchester today, with their pants firmly down. In fact, they made Micah Richards' defending look like Cannavaro's, may his boots rest in peace, in his day.
This Saturday, the OW1s have another rest and recovery but a crucial game between Haileybury and Aldenham could identify the prime rival for the clean air above the drop zone.
