FT: Rudd 0 - 1 Grace Dieu Fairly close game but it was the away side who took away all three points after a long range effort creeps in. A much better performance from Rudd compared to recent weeks. Hopefully we can take this and finish strong starting with FC Cavs on Saturday.

Unfortunately due to a fair number of our players working away/evenings we have been forced to pull out of tonight’s game!

A well deserved and hard fought 2-1 against Collingham. Not the greatest of performances but we dug in and got the job done. Hats off to keeper Matt Lowe for pulling off a great penalty save in the final stages of the game. ⚽️ Mansfield ⚽️ Hulbert ⭐️ Kmac 🟡⚫️🟡⚫️🟡⚫️
