‘Ugly win’ keeps in-form Pinchbeck United rolling

A first-half penalty from striker Tony Edwards was enough to earn Pinchbeck United a battling 1-0 win at Leverington Sports on Saturday.

It’s now three wins and a draw from their last four ChromaSport Peterborough Premier Division games for Ian Dunn’s side, who are now eighth – just four points off the top.

Pinchbeck were hampered by unavailability, with eight players missing.

But their chances were boosted when hosts Sports had a player sent off in the first half.

“It was an ugly game,” admitted boss Dunn. “But we asked for a clean sheet and a win before the game – and that’s what we got.

“We expected a tough game, it always is here.

“Sometimes, at this level, you’ve just got to dig in and win ugly.

“They perhaps should have had a few more players sent off and we wanted another penalty, but overall I’m happy.

“We’ll have all of our players back for the next game on Saturday – and hopefully a couple of important signings.”

Pinchbeck’s next clash is a home tussle with Keeton on Saturday (2pm).

Pinchbeck: McCready, Leggett, A Murrell, Lawe, B Murrell, Bishop, Jucikas, Francis, Oldham, Edwards, Lovelace. Sub used: Runnalls.
