A Season in Photos - Part Nine - From Evesham (H) to Bristol Rovers (H) |
Evesham, the league's little snotty kid came to town in what was a real relegation six pointer and not only stole a point but also managed to break Neil Mustoe's leg. Good job they got relegated! |

The end of Muzzie's season |
|
Having only joined the Tigers a few weeks earlier it was typical that one of Tim Harris' first away games would be at Merthyr Tydfil. Thankfully he was well recieved by his former supporters and so were the Tigers as goals from Jon Miller and Michael Whittington earned a point, although a brace from Dane Williams pooped the party for the second time this season! |

Just a month after facing Lee Glover's Grantham they made the return trip to Meadow Park as City completed their biggest win under Harris. The Tigers were helped though as Gingerbreads keeper Mario Ziccardi was stupidly red carded for picking up two yellows before the break after they'd taken the lead. City's goals came from a Jody Bevan penalty, Dave Wilkinson and two from Michael Whittington. |

Next up was a nice long away trip to Hitchin's Top Field, all for a point. Just like the Merthyr game two weeks earlier City's goals came from Jon Miller and Michael Whittington, although it's hard to say which was the better strike! Miller's effort was a direct free kick from all of thirty-five yards whilst Whitty ran the ball from the halfway line, beat two defenders and scored from the edge of the area. |

February ended with the visit of a mixture of Bristol Rovers youth and reserve teams in the County Cup, although the opening goal was scored for City by Mark Preece, one of their own. |
