WE MEET AGAIN - AFC RUSHDEN & DIAMONDS

We continue with our usual article "We Meet Again" but this one is easy!
We have only ever met the Diamonds once before and that was earlier this season in a 2-1 defeat, at the time a first win of the season for Rushden.

This game is a real "six pointer" as Rushden lie at the bottom of the league table with 15 points from 27 games with Coleshill currently in 14th place with 31 points from 29 games but the Diamonds are on their best run of the season and lie in 8th place in the "Form Table".

MATCH REPORT
A very poor performance as established players leave and new players come in. Five debutants in this game. Rushden are bottom of the league with zero points and were jubilant to get their first win. Debutant Ryan Nesbit scored from the penalty spot, and after a Home player was shown a Red card, Rob Evans also saw red for retaliation.
