After Saturday's goalless draw with St Neots Town, the website managed to catch up with a few members of the board and the management of St Ives Town to get their views and opinions. DATE FOR YOUR DIARY !! The return fixture has been scheduled for Easter Monday (April 5th 2010) at Westwood Road - kick off time will be 3pm. See website for previews ! 
Ashley Griffiths (Chairman) "Our away support, as always, was superb and I must make a special mention to Graham Dolling who was very vocal throughout the match and certainly encouraged the others to join in. I must also place on record that the hospitality here at St Neots Town is first rate and from the moment we arrived we have been very well looked after. It has been a pleasure to be here today" 
Sheldon Francis (Vice Chairman) "Today was a good 0-0 draw. We seemed a bit nervous to start with but we soon settled and we matched them. Both Declan and Moyes had a good chance each but we cannot complain as it was a fair result. Will Fordham, to me, was outstanding as he commanded everything and he kept their lively front two quiet - The return fixture will be interesting to say the least!" 
Warren Everdell (Co Manager) "I was happy with the result today, it was a fair outcome of the day. It was an excellent team and squad perfromance and the only criticism was maybe we should have got the ball down some more and played football. Either side could have won it and both keepers and defenses were in great form so it was certainly a day for the defenders not strikers. The lads will take a lot from today's game and move on as we have a busy schedule coming up very soon" 
Jez Hall (Co Manager) "We defended from the front today brilliantly and that filtered right through the side as it was a day for outstanding defending. Even when they got through us Rob did very well and made some important saves. We cannot fault the team's performance, they battled hard and worked together. Both sides had chances but both sets of defenders were on top of their game today. We would like to also thank the travelling support. Once again you were tremendous" A viewpoint from the other Saints : 
Steve Lomas (Manager St Neots Town) " A draw was a fair result today as neither team deserved to win. We huffed and puffed a bit and I felt that we needed to get the ball down more and play football. Our keeper looked safe today, especially with the crosses and our two centre backs were the pick of the players for me. Will Fordham played well for St Ives today and I've always liked his presence and his combativeness too. It was good to see Matt Bannister too playing well for St Ives. He is a good lad" Lomas added "Today was a game we needed to win. Every game we are now playing catch up with Daventry Town" |
