An amazing season ended with the Robins finishing just outside the promotion places but a three point deduction for Darwen meant that we were promoted via the ‘back door’. An average season looked to be petering out after a run of five defeats in six games in January and February but a ten match unbeaten run proved to be enough in the end. Leading scorer was John Eastham with 21. John Hughes’ biggest signing, Matt Derbyshire, joined the club and hit 7 goals in the last 5 games. The FA Cup saw two penalty shoot-out victories against Winterton and Crook before Harrogate Town , again, ended our interest. |
