| Match Summary | Eoin Hand’s return for Malcolm Manley sadly injured over the Trent at Meadow Lane, turns sour when his ill-timed tackle on Bowyer lets McKenzie calmly beat Milkins. Forest force ten corners in just half an hour, with McKenzie hitting the bar, but as the game wore on a replay looked on until Hand dashed the hopes of a visiting army of fans who had poured up the M1 in anything that would move with no trains during the Three day week. |
