Rothwell Town 2 - 0 Bedworth United
British Gas Business League
Division One Midlands
Saturday 26th April - k/o
3pm
Rothwell Town finished the season
with a third victory in a row - the first time this campaign that
such a run had been achieved.
Following on from away wins at Woodford
United (0-2) and Malvern Town (0-1), the Bones capped off the run
by beating Bedworth United 2-0 at Cecil Street, in their final game
of the 2007-2008 season.
Both goals came early on, with Adam
Cunnington opening the scoring after just 5 minutes when he fired
home powerfully a cross from Chris Difante from 10 yards out. T
Then Steve Purton doubled the lead
in the 12th minute when he picked up the ball out on the wide left,
carried it forward, cut inside and hit a screamer of a shot from
30 yards which flew past Andrew Kemp and into the top of the net.
It looked as if Rothwell might add to their lead but the third goal
never came, but that didn't matter as the Bones secured the win
which ensured this difficult season ended on a high note.
An attendance of 116 were there to
witness the game, which gives Rothwell a finishing position of 18th
in the British Gas Business Division One Midlands league.
