A Season in Photos - Part Ten - From Northwood (A) to Aylesbury (A) |
A quick look at the table showed City in the midst of a real relegation struggle and some of the fans decided that we needed to get behind the team and show them that we wanted to stay up, so we got ourselves a minibus from Keyway and made the trip to Northwood with drums, flags and rattles. It worked because Michael Whittington grabbed the only goal of the game to earn us six points! |

The students of Team Bath were the next team to be taken to the sword, well, in a way. As is usual they seemed to dominate City but for all their football couldn't score a goal, whilst the Tigers bagged three. |
Jody Bevan fed Tom Webb for the first with a superb prodded ball onto his overlapping run. Bevan himself got the second from the penalty spot after former Team Bath player Chris Holland had been felled and Luke Corbett hammered in a far post header late in the game to seal the win. |

|
Yate Town were our next guests as City looked to put their relegation fears behind them whilst Richard Thompsons outfit were looking to cement themselves as Bristol's third best team above Mangotsfield. They'd have to wait though as Michael Whittington banged a brace before he was deliberately injured by Yate keeper Tony Court as he notched his second. After the game former Tiger Jimmy Cox commented that it was a good job too because Whittington wouldn't have stopped scoring otherwise! |

Whitts pisses past Jethro .... |

It was back on the road for our last game of March as the Travelling T-Ender's headed off to Aylesbury. In the past Buckingham Road hasn't been an easy place for the Tigers to visit but Dave Wilkinson's wondergoal ten minutes from time gave City the three points as they completed a 100% record for the month as well as not conceeding a goal. Amazingly though the Southern League decreed that Bath City were the team of the month despite having a less successful record! |
