Rushden & Diamonds 1 v 0 Rothwell Town

Rushden & Diamonds, playing practically their first eleven, struggled to overcome a Rothwell team from 3 leagues below tonight and a single goal was enough to win it for the Conference side.

Rothwell, to their credit, battled for the full 90 minutes and never gave in. The only goal of the game came in the 32nd minute through the home side's Michael Rankine and was enough to tip the balance of the tie in their favour.

Although the majority of the play was from Rushden & Diamonds, as one would've expected from a full-time professional team, Rothwell were more than adequate and can take pride in their performance.
