Royal as Magpies visit Windsor (04.04.03)
MAIDENHEAD
Uniteds one surviving chance of securing silverware this season
sees them travel to Windsor & Eton on Tuesday night, for the
semi-final of the Berks and Bucks Cup, kick-off 7.30pm.
The game is of growing importance to the Magpies, who are now out
of danger but also out of the running in the Premier Division, having
moved 13 points clear of the drop zone with four points out of six
this week.
Consequently, the club has appealed to its fans to turn up in numbers
to support the Magpies in what it sees as a crucial local derby.
Recent results in Division 1 South mean the Royalists have also
given up the promotion chase in their division, so they too are
hanging their hopes on the cup.
And, while three league defeats in their last four outings will
certainly have dented their confidence, the Royalists can be relied
upon to give it their all on Tuesday night.
Tomorrow (Saturday), United entertain fifth-placed Hayes at York
Road, who they beat 2-0 in the reverse fixture in early September.
However, Hayes have won on their last four outings, including a
1-0 home win over Aldershot on Saturday.
This, coupled with United's erratic home form, could spell trouble
for the Magpies.
Bishop's Stortford have put last weeks narrow victory over
the Magpies into perspective, with subsequent and larger victories
over Hendon, Enfield and Heybridge, extending their winning streak
to five games.
