Saturdays top of the table clash at Freeway Park between Oadby Town and Northampton Sileby Rangers proved to be a close game just as it was expected to be and with
the only goal being scored by Michael Byrne for Northampton Sileby Rangers
The game was a good match from the start with both teams looking for an opening and Northampton Sileby using the tactic of the long ball down the middle which did on a number of occasions cause a problem for Oadby's defence, while Oadby concentrated on their normal passing game which at times was proving difficult due to the nature of the pitch.
Oadby's best chance in the first half came from a well struck free kick from Jon Stevenson that Sileby's keeper Watts.
The game looked like it was going to be won by a single goal as expected from a clash of the top two teams in the league who were well matched. Even though Sileby did have other chances, Hinds in the Oadby goal had another outstanding game. At the other end a lot of effort from Stevenson, Polllard, Duffy and Reeve (who came on as a substitute) did not produce a goal but did make for a very entertaining game and one that the 212 people in attendance must have enjoyed.
Oadby Town are at Home again this weekend (9th February) against Burton Park Wanderers kick off 3pm.
