Badgers take a break from League campaign...
...fixture break forces Badgers into friendly matches.
The Badgers played their last game for a possible three weeks in the league yesterday away at Pickering Town as two blank weekends may turn into three with the success of Staveley MW in the FA Vase.
Due to the re-arrangement fixtures earlier in the season, United find themselves with no game on the 28th January and the 4th February with the next match at home against Staveley MW on the 11th February.
Due to a 3-1 win away at Willand Rovers in Round 4 of the FA Vase, the Baris NCEL side will play their Round 5 tie on that date.
Of course, Retford United will be in dialogue with the League to see if anything can be done about three blank weekends, and we will inform supporters of the outcome as we get further information.
In the meantime, United will now face two friendly games at Cannon Park with the visit on Tuesday evening (24th) of Evo-Stik side Brigg Town (7.45pm) where the Badgers will be without several of the first team regulars with Ricky Chambers, Danny Hayes, Corey Nightingale, Adam Scott and Jamie Brown all expected to be missing, Brett Marshall will give a chance to some of the fringe players, those coming back from injury and will use the game to have a look at some triallists.
The following week, 31st January, Blue Square North side Gainsborough Trinity will be the visitors to Cannon Park in a local derby game that is hoped will attract a good crowd as the Blues make the short trip down the A620.
The next competitive game will be against Wollaton FC of the Nottinghamshire Senior League in the Third Round of the Notts Senior Cup.
The match will take place at Cannon Park on Tuesday 7th February (7.45) with United starting the trail to the Final which this season is expected to be held at Nottingham Forest's City Ground.
