FC United ready to host Olympics

FC United ready to host OlympicsFC United need to get back to winning ways as Rushall Olympic present the next hurdle at Bower Fold on Saturday afternoon.

The Pics are level on points with the Reds and, given previous encounters between the two sides, it’s likely to be a hard fought match with plenty to discus.

Karl Marginson’s side were on the right track two weeks ago with a late 2-1 victory at Nantwich. However, just three days later, Skelmersdale dealt us a hammer blow with a last minute winner.

FC United then suffered a 3-1 defeat at Ilkeston where the Reds barely had a shot put on target, other than Jerome Wright’s consolation from the penalty spot.

Our red shirted heroes did turn things around to some degree on Tuesday with a goalless draw at Matlock Town and the season may be a marathon not a sprint but many supporters at the club seem keen to relay the message that the team must keep up with the pacesetters at the top of the table.

The time for predictable Olympic puns is nearly over. The Pics and the Reds are under starter’s orders. The time has come for the Reds to wrestle their way back up the league table by using Rushall as a springboard to success.

Get yourself to that football ground.
