Not a shocking result to us.....

New College are looking for another late christmas present.

After providing a perfect get well cure for boss Mark Teasdale on the 27th Dec, College go into the game versus Tyhterington high on confidence but certainly not shocked by the result versus Bassett.

New College had provided boss Mark Teasdale with a welcome tonic after coming from behind to beat Wootton Bassett 5-2 at Rylands Way earlier this week.

Teasdale was laid up at home with a virus for the fixture on the 27th December so Ian Howell took charge for the Division One West clash, and the players gave the regular boss cause to smile with an impressive second-half comeback.

Bassett were 2-1 up at one stage after Daryl Charman and Sam Reason hit the net following Gio Wrona’s early effort for New College.

However, midway through the second half John Rees equalised and Josh Skeates bagged a double to put College in control, before Brad Stanners converted a late fifth to wrap up victory.

“We managed to get into a run of play where we got on top and took our chances,” explained Howell.

“From our point of view it was good to get the win because we’ve been struggling in the last few weeks and haven’t got the results we deserved.

“I think we were worthy winners in the end.”

Teasdale is expected to be back in charge on New Year’s Eve when New College welcome table-toppers Tytherington, but following the team’s success in his absence, he joked: “Maybe I should stay away more often.”

College are un-changed for the visit of the rocks and certainly will not be shocked if the rocks return home with nothing from the game.
