After a number of weeks without a league game due to cup commitments and the weather, Oadby played Wellingborough Whitworth in a United Counties League game. On a cold night at Freeway Park Oadby, the home team looked to be in control from the opening minutes though it took until the 20th minute for a fine strike from Elliott Wright to put the home side in front. Oadby did not really look troubled throughout the game and James Dodds put them two up after 26 minutes when the ball fell to him in the Wellingborough box. The final goal of the game came in the 44th minute when a fine run from Michael Reeve allowed him to square the ball for Nick Pollard to make it 3 - 0. The second half was really a none event with Oadby settling on the three goals and Wellingborough still not really offering a threat. With other teams at the top of the table all winning their matches, Oadby still lie in fourth place but have two games in hand over Northampton Sileby who head the table. All eyes now look to next Tuesday 26th February when Rushden and Higham visit Freeway Park in another game Oadby need to win to keep in the promotion hunt. Kick off is 7.45pm.
