Manager Dave Marlow was forced into one change , from last weeks good draw against Sherwood. Damo Mann starting in place of the unavailable Dale Chapman .
Although Ash Winfield and Rian Charles were back in the squad , they had to be content with places on the bench , as Marlow kept Jake Wright and Jack Millward in the central midfield positions.
Kicking with the strong wind, we lead on 12 minutes through Mann, and forced a series of 14 corners in the first half.
But it wasn't all one way traffic , as Luca Rocco made two fantastic saves, from dangerous City free kicks , both taken by their new signing Danny Johnson.
On 42 minutes City keeper Mike Oxborrow was given a straight red card by the Referee , for handling the ball out of his area , and denying a goal scoring opportunity .
Linby made their one man advantage pay with second half goals from Kaylum Mitchell and Man of the Match Jake Wright .

The Reserves game , at Linby, was called off, due to a waterlogged pitch . As were many others , as the unrelenting rain keeps coming!
There were only 2 games played in the CMFL South Division.
