With no A team fixtures JT and Paul Beard came into the B team squad, below, and Alan Cook came in to make his debut:
Tony Fisher
Paul Beard
Jonathan Thompson
Les Potton
Jason Fullman
Alan Cook
Tim Marsden Cap
First up were old rivals Oakham Utd. Playing their best football of the season Strollers went ahead through Les Potton who pounced on indecision in the Oakham defence to give Stamford the lead at half time. Second half Strollers found another gear and following a period of good possession Paul Beard strode forward from defence and found the top corner with a long range drive. Another flowing move ended with Alan Cook calmly lifting the ball over the keeper to give Stamford a 3 – 0 win, their first of the season.
Next up were Huntingdon A. Strollers maintained their fine form from the previous match and Jason Fullman found the net twice before half time to give Stamford a 2 – 0 lead. Although the B team didn’t add to their tally in the second half the result was never in doubt and they deservedly recorded their second win of the day, and second clean sheet.
Overall two very good performances, well organised defensively, creative in possession, and threatening in attack.
